   I think you've manifested nicely a good business idea. I tried the web version as well as the Mac download and although I didn't send anything to a printer the Print Preview in each case looked functional. I like how in both versions you: d

   Flagged for being linkbait. The actual content is just audio of a narrator reading poorly.

   The movie on YouTube isn't smooth so I downloaded the standard quality version which fixed the jerkiness problem. Mirror: http://planet.s3.amazonaws.com/home.mp4 (420 MB) Forget the HD version unless you have a wicked graphics system. /ho

   I live in Phoenix and you're right, some of these cameras are set up to photo every license plate that passes regardless of whether the box detected a traffic violation. It's billed as an Amber Alert mechanism so when authorities identify a

   I look at this problem in terms of automated systems. I think it's interesting how you can architect large groups of people to efficiently deliver a service. If you can conceive of and design systems you can as you put it "converge" nodes o

   I like to explore my ideas verbally and wish I had a better way to refer back to those audio brainstorms which I sometimes record. One problem is that the audio file is rarely "tight" in terms of signal-to-noise, which makes review tedious.

   I trust you mean getting business cards etc. There's a fine line between making good marketing investments and lying. I think embellishing your own success is a slippery slope. Lying sucks energy and adds to mental clutter. Always be honest

    I could use help with design too and it's not so much that I can't design but that I'm too close to my app and need outside opinions about how to lay stuff out and how to phrase things. I wonder if startups could moonlight a little and help

    I haven't read the documentation on how to speak to W|A but I think "average age at death..." would have been clearer form symantically.

    This is the second time today you've submitted that link and it's a beautiful splash page but I haven't tried your app because it evidently requires me to grant you access to my Facebook profile. Maybe if you had a demo or a screencast we c

    Without knowing anything about your company, your service/product or what skillset you are looking to fill I think the standard advice is to participate in local hacker meetups and introduce your startup to those potential partners. Another

    I wonder how the economy affects results. When people feel broken down do they gravitate more toward tradition?

    I doubt we can conclude much about programmers of a certain ilk as a result of the last 150 programming related updates on Twitter. Maybe if the data were more transparent I could understand better what Delores Labs' graph represents. One p

    I have never been comfortable advertising myself as a geek because to me there's no way to distinguish oneself using that word without coming across as a wannabe or fanboy. You don't crown yourself smart. When somebody today tells me they'r

    In the Q&A after his Harvard presentation last month Stephen said he would not crowdsource Wolfram Alpha. In short the reason he gave is that crowdsourcing is unreliable. Stephen used as an example the problems of Wikipedia where rogue

    Wow judging from that screencast Twiggler looks excellent. I'm impressed. I haven't been keeping up with Twitter apps for the past few months but it appears you've put a lot of good functionality in yours.

    I don't know if it's just me but when I watch the video it's just a static image not a screencast so I can't visually follow what the narrator is saying.

    Insightful piece. I wonder what solutions we'll devise to edit all that video. App idea: outsource tightening to mturk. Hardware idea: the record button on your video camera should operate on a cache so if what happened in the past isn't in

    It's not clear if you are asking for a management book or a programming book. Assuming you want to hack, my question to you is What do you want to accomplish? That would drive which sort of development book we're talking about. Then I would
