I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to a HN post on Miami! I find the tech scene pretty miserable here but then again I've worked from home for almost 10 years and I'm terrible at networking events. So it could just be my self-i

Good point. I've been dying to have a reason to use http://www.powtoon.com for videos, maybe it's a good time to try it. I received a request for a multi-user license, so this is definitely tripping up others. I'll create some volume disc

Thanks. I was putting the editor front and center, but you are right, perhaps the templates themselves can provide more value. I think I'm going to go further than bigger screenshots and let them download sample reports in .pdf generated st

I've been out of the security space for a while but what I would love to see (and perhaps it already exists) is a threat "counter" for every authenticated user on my network. Data could be fed from various sources IDS and audit logs and act

I've been a long time eBay user and have also had issues over the past year with a couple of unpaid items and having to relist. The annoying part was not being able to give the buyer negative feedback, allowing him/her to waste someone else

You're both right. I will make it clear I want to retain the IP while offering them a permanent license with a maintenance contract. That, and have a lawyer write it up. The thing is I always want to retain IP when contracting out work, b

The requested solution is to manage the warranty repair order process and related parts inventories at multiple 3rd party authorized service centers for a manufacturer. My (possibly naive) idea is to build a re-usable solution that is somet

Letting them pay for development and keeping the IP would be the best of both worlds and I should try for that. If it's not an option my thinking was I get free domain knowledge via access to their employees and business processes and a bak

I love the Stripe service and use it anytime I have the need for accepting CC payments. However, as a consumer, I see myself choosing the Paypal option for the sole reason that I only have to type in a password vs. taking out my credit card

Thanks for making me realize I've been using life expectancy tables incorrectly for most of my life. One comment regarding the yearly progress of the cohort rate. I would think this would fluctuate with significant medical advances (e.g. th

dave has probably used GTD far longer than I, but I have to say I think having 50-100 projects going is pretty insane. I don't know any system that would help you there (other than maybe hiring a project manager and 5 assistants..). The aut

If I hadn't found http://join.me a few months ago I'd be jumping up and down right now. This is just as effortless, great job there. I'd suggest making the two options: share a screen, and join a session stand out even more from the rest

I hope you're right and they find better revenue models. I would hate for all these "showrooms" we have to go extinct. Could the day come where you pay an entrance fee to browse the latest gadgets at your nearest BestBuy "showroom"?

I think they need to work on their data collection. The unknown "Other" is almost as large as the other OS categories combined. This makes it hard to draw any conclusions.

I have my own Apps account and was peeved at having to create another Google account for Google+, but now I'll continue to use a "personal" Google account for Plus. This way my Google+ will never be tied down to one organization (even if it

How about living in a chrome house? The Developer would just sneak in while I sleep and update everything without asking. The downside is it would consist of just one living area. If I were need any specialized rooms like a bathroom or kitc

It's a nice story. I agree with his point about testing. But it seems to me he's just apologizing for his intelligence and education. I'd bet Dr. Asimov would make one hell of a auto repair mechanic if he dedicated his life to it. I'd let h

Since moving everything to google this has always concerned me. You can run your own mail server or use their outlook sync tool to keep your own copy locally, but both of those solutions have their drawbacks. Definitely something I would pa

Forget learning to code, it's probably a waste of time and you'll miss the boat. Your medical background is by far your strongest asset. I suggest you find yourself a technical co-founder or someone that would be willing to work on a protot
