Never heard of them, but here is some interesting verbiage for something that has not launched yet: "New ‘Battery Saver’ mode" -- How is it new if we haven't seen the old. It also seems pretty unlikely you would launch 3 sepa

I'm a bit late to the party here, but figured I'd chime in with my own experiences. I spent a many days staring into WebKit and can honestly say that finding your way around does get easier. When you are searching for things, it h

Do we know the names of these payment providers? I have no doubt the porn industry must have a slew of companies supporting them.

I had the same experience, but their customer experience was pretty great. I have yet to start up the Droplet again, since they threatened to shut down my service.

>If so is this a result of a differently structured legal system, or just a "cultural" difference? From an uneducated opinion on the piece this seems to be the difference between Common Law vs Statutory Law. In Common Law the p

Your post focuses on what others are saying. Why are you so worried about why everyone else likes CS? "You can't stand the idea of making something so meaningless". Get out of the valley, people all over the world are using s

This is really a pillar of the stoic philosophy, or at least as far as I interpreted it. The awareness you speak of is quite freeing and empowering when you take the time to consider it. The appreciation you gain based on a stoic style of l

I joined Linked In 3 months ago. Personally I did it as I was starting a new company and wanted to "discover" this magical sales and marketing tool I've been disappointed by the noise, and general low level of barrier to entr

That is great. It shows you the value of the endorsement is really nil. Personally, I'm not as impressed with an endorsement unless it is from someone, who themselves is well respect, or holds a high position. The original concept was

If you have money and resources, sure perhaps the sales cycle in Enterprise is dead. The part I think is missing from this article is that rarely are systems this simple. Most Enterprise level systems require some sort of "integration&

I decided to teach myself some ruby this afternoon. The idea is that using Mustache, and a list of names, a salesperson would be able to automate some of the targeted e-mails they send to a market vertical. ie: Imagine going after a single

Bang on. Does this not remind you of Levis jeans during the gold rush. Few miners really did well, but the companies that supplied the miners all did well. http://davidrbradley.hubpages.com/hub/Levi-Strauss-American-...

There does seem to be the same sort of frenzy in Canada. You can hear it in normal conversations all the time: 'Wow I can't believe you do that, it's so confusing to me. I could never write code.' It seems this mystique is what is paying us

"That might be partially true, but that's like deciding not to swing for fear of getting a strike." Hmm, not quite. It is more like not trying to swing for the fence, and trying to hit a double or single. Every once and a while you connect
