The best thing the Canadian government could do for Canadian tech entrepreneurship would be to work with the US government to make it easier for Canadians to work in the States and Americans to work in Canada. That, more than anything, woul

This is one of those instances where it's useful to clearly separate descriptive arguments (the way things are) from normative arguments (the way things should be). I agree that the best strategy to deal with the border, as it is, is to exp

They had to do a study to find out streaming is a substitute for other forms of music distribution? Of course it is. Raise the price, but please don't make me go back to less covenient systems (e.g., iTunes, bittorrent, CDs, etc.). It would

No. I'm tired of waiting for downloads, dealing with external hard drives, re-encoding video files, syncing my phone/tablet/TV, etc. Streaming is such a superior experience. Search, hit play, watch. Happy to watch an ad or pay a subscriptio

I thought sending notifications from help@atomiccontacts.com and ending them with 'Any problems, just reply to this email!' was a good idea too. However, I've had to introduce noreply for a lot of transactional emails for a reason I didn't
