My wife never updates her iOS apps. Any lawyers here able to tell me whether that constitutes "irreconcilable differences" ?

I see your point and I agree. That's fine and well if they want to match their prices to restaurants. It's their business and I'll probably still eat it. My point was that they have the option to lower their prices and attract more customer

Surprising numbers in this write-up. Still does not fully explain why most food trucks are charging restaurant-level prices for their dishes. Yes, the overhead is still expensive but at some point, the consumer has to see the reduced overhe

I just went back to check out TurnTable... and it looks like the "power-users" killed TurnTable. There is a link in the majority of the rooms like the below telling people what to play and what not to play. Freedom was the essential ingredi

I agree. I don't think there's any comparison between TurnTable and other Internet radio. It is a full-on experience - more closely resembling a video game than a music radio.

When TurnTable first launched, I was on there as a DJ almost every day. That feeling was flat-out amazing the first time I was "on the stage" in front of a large audience and everyone enjoyed my song selections. A+ experience. However, the

Since it looks like InstaCart people are posting ITT, what are your plans to spread this business model into other cities. Is it viable in a place like Atlanta, GA where residential areas are less-concentrated?

Off-topic, but I don't think Whole Foods really qualifies as a "yuppie chain" anymore. I feel like they've successfully transitioned to a full-blown grocery store for people who want to live an organic lifestyle, which is no longer a small-

No matter how much you make, going to Starbucks for a latte every single day seems innocuous. I get a grande vanilla or a grande gingerbread (during the holidays). I think it's about $3.75. It becomes a habit, I get one 25 out of 30 days. T

THE most important thing to securing your financial health is getting control of a monthly budget for variable expenses like groceries, lunch, dinner, Starbucks, drinks, gas, shopping, entertainment, etc. The more-specific the better. Then

Maybe the employee needs to have his eyes checked. I have no problem reading my serial numbers and I have a 5 and an S.

Could really use a paired time picker. Good script though.

Hopefully the article on Honan's experience will open some eyes and make everyone take the security of their personal accounts more seriously. The money in your bank is insured, your online presence is not, and there is a huge imbalance in

3 violent "events" happening equidistant from each other does not mean a 4th is inevitable in the same timeframe. If I see proof back hundreds of years, then I would listen. Either way, pretty safe prediction that humans will act violently

As integrated as DropBox is into major corporate technology, they really need to be careful with this type of stuff. While an employee's error is often unavoidable, security is a cloud storage company's only real asset.

Very nice. Hopefully there's a simple way to take the serialized position array and parse out an order. Would be nice to use this plug-in to allow users to easily rank and group objects.

Seems like a weak jump, visually, from the previous generation. Screen is definitely lengthened and there are obvious differences on the dock, but Apple is usually much bolder in design changes for a new product.

Crowd-sourced recommendations are inherently flawed. People just aren't the same. My favorite movie of all time is There Will Be Blood and no matter how smart an application may be, it will never connect the dots to realize that my second

I've been hammering code on this all weekend. If anyone is interested in discussing, feel free to contact me. I'm mainly working on queries for county information regarding age, race, sex, occupation, and income.

I had to read this article twice to make sure I was understanding it right. I honestly see zero benefit in this approach. It does not speed up the login process at all. The only thing it accomplishes is not requiring the user to remember a

Good post. One thing I like to do is take a bit of my time each week and sit down with a person who has never used my product. In fact, ideally they've never even heard of it. Shut off the programming-mindset and just watch an average per

Getting into the online dating scene would be a great money move for FaceBook. It's such a simple and obvious move that there must be something/someone internal that is preventing it. FaceBook has access to millions of people listed as "sin
