I do the same when interviewing. I came across this technique when looking at a Body Language course hosted by Vanessa Van Edwards. Most of it was superfluous but I thought the parts around 'reading' the truth from non verbal clue

From what I understand you typically need a 'base-line' of normality to know when someone has deviated from that. People can get nervous or make mistakes at any point. The best way to set the base-line is to have a general convers

Hi dsyph3r - the app will be available on Android too. I'll follow up with the relevant link tomorrow when it's live. Looking forward to seeing you on on the app!

Hey shavingspiders - no problem, happy to elaborate. In short, it's a way to find out what music is being listened to and where in real-time. It's not a 'connecting' tool per se because we keep the location info anonymiz

Interesting question ohwp. I do think that recommendation systems are only going to get better. Lyrics and sentimental analysis are definitely going to play a part in that. One of the main reasons we built Soundwave though was to take a mor

Thanks for the comment onion2k - fair point. We definitely have a target market in mind with the app which is a younger demographic whose musical taste may not be completely developed just yet. Having said that, I'm sure you have a cou

The app goes live tomorrow in both the App store and Play Store. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the overall concept and on the product itself (more importantly) when it goes live.

Good point baha_man, that's a fair comment. It was just one of a number of studies available that seem to highlight this.

I don't disagree with the author's logic in calculating the different variables about when he can retire. My issue is that retirement in general shouldn't be held out to be some kind of promised land. There have been plenty of detailed stud

Once Facebook acquired Gowalla and Glancee, the writing was always on the wall for Foursquare. They need revenue as their business model is still shaky at best and seeing Facebook cannibalize this opportunity must have been a deciding facto

Great point - Unfortunately, it's endemic in European society that bankruptcy should be labelled as a permanent branding of failure for an entrepreneur. Until this year in Ireland, an adjudicated bankrupt could not apply for €630 credit wit

That's a shame. I've done the opposite recently and moved from a 'corporate' job into co-founding a start-up. Without the fear of making payroll each month, I know now why it's easy to rest on your laurels and become a clock watcher. My adv

Ryaniar (a budget travel airline in Europe) have started using this type of thing to their advantage. Each Captcha is about flight insurance, low cost, on time etc. Annoying and good advertising at the same time.

The taxi regulators were always going to put up a fight and use whatever lobbying they could to nip them in the bud. The reality is that Uber have done a great job of ploughing on regardless. In Ireland and the UK, Hailo have managed to kee
