My own clickbank/adwords story: I had heard good things about clickbank, despite being filled with spammy stuff. I found a product I had personal interest in and was actually pretty cool, signed up for adwords, and submitted an ad to be ran

I'm a big fan of their free e-mail forwarding and customer support (they got a domain back for me that I had let expire out of its grace period). But, I'm surprised so many people tolerated godaddy for this long just because of their contro

I've long been fascinated by the making of physical products. It seems to much harder than software. I feel like I can make bits dance from my keyboard, but assembling atoms is much harder. Any chance you could write a blog about how you ma

A more unobtrusive idea I've wanted to suggest to them would be to use amazon/otherStore affiliate links for their book pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/1453606122

Over the years I've bought a few laptops off ebay that have worked out very well. Dual core Dells with two gigs of RAM are in the $300 range. Sometimes the batteries can be iffy, but otherwise they work out great.

It makes sense that the sports genre was chosen. With scores, winners, teams, tournaments and the like all being mentioned in pretty much every article out there, it stands to reason that it would be fairly easy to parse them all and get go

I enjoy reading about education here in the US, and in other countries. It's all well and good to compare our system to others. But, I can't help but wonder what the chances will be that the system here will ever actually be reformed.

I have terrible vision, and utilize the browsers zoom function a lot. On their new site, I can zoom without having to do a lot of horizontal scrolling (just in Firefox though, doesn't seem to work as well in Chrome). So, aside from the aes

Might also be nice to have a 'Start Game' button--I clicked the link and then got a dialog about losing. Blocks on the edges are also a little hard to get at. Nice job! Fun too. :)

For as popular as chrome is, I feel like the browser market is going to become bifurcated between "normal users" and developers. Chrome is speedy, stable, and I recommend it to everyone since I'm the computer guy in my circle. But Firefox i

You couldn't find any reliable people with decent customer service skills? Soemthing seems off about that. Maybe you should get someone to help with hiring. If the actual business made that much, then why not run it instead of selling the i

I think you should run your idea by a few other people (maybe some advisers?) and see what they have to say. I've never been to grad school, but I don't think it would be out of the question to get that prototype going while pursuing your d

You should consider adding some more body weight achievements maybe some more exercises. I prefer them to weights--cheaper, always available. http://www.frixo.com/sites/fitness/ is a site I use for reference, but there are many out there.

Questions like this, "what should I build", and "which language should I use", and etc make me cringe when I read them. Asking questions is awesome, but these just don't seem to be productive. His question isn't related to building a web ap

Like airplanes, they would be safer than driving. But, each incident will receive so much more coverage that the statistical safety will be largely ignored by the terrified public.

I know exactly what you mean, and I'm only beginning to overcome my 'bad design sense'. Since I started coding before designing, I've found it helpful to draw parallels between the two. Like studying good code helps improve your own program

I'm older than these guys--late 20's, married, no kids (yet). I just don't see this lifestyle bring very practical for married/family folks. But then again, I've never heard any stories of people other than young singles doing stuff like th

I vaguely recall a study done many years ago that looked at the ability of people to recall information they had seen in documentary style movies. Try as I may, I can't seem to find it. Check out "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learnin

Haskell. I've seen a lot of haskell code, and have always been impressed with how few lines of code it takes to express complex ideas. Been reading "Learn You A Haskell" to get started, but it's coming along a lot slower than scheme.
