Great job! Not many people at your age can create their own products. Many people here post un-productive comments and are very harsh but there's usually some truth being them. My advice to you is to take all the advice you "wan

I've been tempted to buy a nexus 7 for my kids for a while, but at the same time I've been reluctant for several reasons. Since the XO seems to come installed with many productivity apps I may look at it instead. Not to mention

I agree with the others, 3 to 4 months is nothing. As a comparison, it took my current company 2+ years to make enough money that I could live on and 5+ year in order for me to call it a success. Many times during this 5 year period we th

If they are going to ban the feds from attending the conference, are they going to ban the contractors who are working with the feds also? I imagine that the majority of the "security and hacking" type work is not done directly b

At my company I tend to think that we hire very competent developers. Our code base is so complicated (because of legacy code and/or the complexity of the tasks) that developers make mistakes all the time. They are caught by both a pee

If we assume that everyone is telling the truth and that there is no back door or drop box, couldn't they simply get the data with man-in-the-middle type software? Getting data from Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and co is nice because it c

I don't get why you're down on this they way you are. You're may be right in your assumptions or maybe he likes this kind of environment and will love it. Who knows. The "moral" of the story though is the fact that he was proactive enough

Unfortunately there's no support organization big enough to implement Linux in the dod. I would think that only Microsoft has the experience to support such customers with endless use cases.

Of course it's evil. Redirecting a user is hostile in nature and was surely done to piss off microsoft. What wouldn't be evil is putting a banner stating that the browser is not supported. I get that google needs to make money, I'm fine wi

Congratulations... Having gone through a very similar situation I have to say it was the best decision I've made. I sold my first company for less then I could have had if I would have taken the "chance" of going the VC route... but what t

Not quite open, but Linkshare and commission junction also have good APIs if you're an approved reseller. If you want to advertise products from a particular retailer you can usually get their catalogue.

It's interesting that when companies like Microsoft are politically correct, we get blast because of it. The on the flip side when they seem pretty aggressive we blast them because of it also. Personally I like seeing facts not just words.

I was at his talk this morning at pycon canada. It was a very good talk, the highlight of the conference. I like his approach, although I think it'll be a challenge to get there since not everyone has his "visionary" and api building skil

I think before you start automating you business and processes you first need to know if your product will get any traction. Spending the time on making sure you have the best possible MVP is the most important thing, IMO. You may be laun

I work for a company that relied primarily on Google for it's source of revenue. About a year ago our traffic dramatically dropped because of a change in Google's algorithm. We always had plans to diversify our business but we never did.

It must have been "magical" to be able to hear your own voice played back during those times. I wonder if in 100 years from now people will wonder if we though smartphones were magical. Does anyone know if the noise in the recording is bec

Instead of these negative articles I'd like to see people write articles helping other have a better experience then they had. You're on the cutting edge of technology and the consequence is that you'll have problems. I've never personall

So easy to say when you're not responsible for billions dollars of licensing fees for Windows, Office and all the supporting products. I think the new metro UI is risking quite a lot and just this change has everyone up in arms. They have

Very cool and useful. Could be very useful once you add keyword search and more filtering. Good job. I have a somewhat off-topic question. How do you get access to these domain names?

I seem to remember a service just like this on HackerNews about 6 months ago. I search hnsearch.com but couldn't find it, that said there seems to be a ton of advice on increasing landing page conversion (page 2, 3, etc..) http://www.hnse

I don't know if I should feel "okay" about not knowing the answers or if I should feel "dumb". Is this something as a system programmer today really need to know?

I use Divvy also, which I love and couldn't imagine not having it anymore. Any advantage to this one?

Agreed. I don't think my company would use this at the moment until it's proven service that has a good track record and a SLA (what's your up-time guarantee?). That said, I'd use it for my personal projects but not for $19/month. I'd pa

I must be missing the point to this because I'm having a "huh, cool? move on moment"; but it's the top item on the front page right now. Can someone shed some light at what I'm looking at?

I'm against SOPA and these laws as much as the next guy and I don't agree with many of stances that godaddy takes, but assuming they were really hacked, it's because of idiots like anonymous that our freedom on the internet is in jeopardy.

I totally agree the SR&ED is a huge plus for canadian companies. I've co-founded or been part of many successful startups in Canada and they were in part successful because of the SR&ED program. As long as you design and/or develo

Many (if not most) successful side projects are a success because they solve a problem that someone has. The first someone is typically "you". So if you're not solving a problem for yourself you won't spend any time on your projects. For
