Pretty sure this is more of a publicity stunt than anything else but still, things are moving in an interesting direction!

We are going through the same approach with our current beta customers (and will be making our demos available to a wide audience in the future too) and I can attest to the validity of this approach. We make it very clear to our customers t

Dad tried to teach me how pointers worked when I was 6. When that didn't really stick, he tried flow diagrams. That seemed more fun than Barbies but I didn't come back to computers until 7 years later when we finally got one at ho

So sad. I distinctly remember how my sis and I (female) got a pair of generic brand transformers as a present back when I was 8. Dad was inspired after we watched Voltron every Saturday! Of course, my sister (being slightly girlier than me

When you have 3 kids to take care of and have no background in finance/accounting/etc. do you really want to start getting into THOSE details too? Why would you doubt your husband, the man who's supposed to take care of you u

I'm always confused why people assume that you need VC's money to grow FAST, especially if your company a B2B (similar to what people assumed about OP's business). Growing fast means getting a lot of new PAYING customers fast

That is mostly because the "degree of relevancy" is highly subjective in travel and is never constant as places adapt new tourism strategies, new things get built and open. Plus, if you think about it, most world's destinatio

After reading the headline, a part of me was hoping that they found Atlantis! Alas... Good find!

This always happens when people without any knowledge and understanding have the power to approve and impact so many lives. Re: names of government bills, it's all a "marketing gimmick" to make sure the bills get approved. If

Personally I couldn't be more in love with MSFT tools (granted they're expensive and I'm using whatever free version they give us). I've worked with Java way back but can't help switching back (WPF, Silverlight for a short while, MVC). When

As much as it kills me to support McCain (I'm not a fan of him at all), all I can say is "Holy cow, well done!!!" This thought came across my mind first when I was 15, wishing for Cartoon Network without paying extra for cable that we could

Not too familiar with ADD/ADHD but from some reading I've done it seems that this is prone to misdiagnosis VERY often so you should be cautious with just jumping on prescriptions... Whether you actually have it or not, I think it's great th

This sounds great on the surface but I'm always wondering about specific implementation of this method. How do you charge people for a promise? Do you set a certain timeline so people have something to look forward to?

Hey there! First off, really sorry this happened to you but it looks like you're definitely on the path to recovery - you're not just wallowing in depression and actively looking for solutions! Stay strong and keep it up, soon this will all
