Good point. So, in the end, a user just expects all to stay the same?

Your average user expects an OS update to be nothing more than new features, they don't know/expect of anything to be wiped out, or know any kind of possible data loss might occur,

I love this analogy

A letter is a symbol. This is just switching to new symbols.

Don't know if this will help at all, but you can append .rss/.json/ to any reddit URL. e.g:

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.rss http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/.json

You need to add everyone in the shared circle to one of your circles for things they share to show up in your stream.

This sounds like a neat setup - do you have anymore info on it? I assume it's custom and not off the shelf?

What makes this hilarious?

For SSH, also check out Prompt from Panic. I recently switched from iSSH to Prompt.

Why not? I don't think he was making the opposite suggestion, either.

I agree with your overall point. But, like you said, people may not know how to pronounce it. Imagine all of the people that may pronounce it "fuck me" and simply may not take it seriously.

I think the overall marketability of a humorous/cool/different name is great, as long as it isn't in the realm of possibly being distasteful to a large number of people.

I think many may discredit the company immediately, thinking it is a joke or satire.

The marketing aspect is definitely a positive, but I'd fear it may make adoption of your services in the corporate world a little difficult.

I'll be visting Hyderabad the week of July 25th and would love to attend a meetup while I'm there.

Cool idea and a clean implementation. Just out of curiosity, are there any plans to monetize in the future?

Also, this may just be me, but I'm not a fan of the domain.

One benefit that I see is that this could allow normal business/end users to more easily update content directly, rather than having to get a developer involved.

Obviously, you could easily create your own interface for users to do things like this, but why reinvent the wheel when it is already well designed and available at a decent price?

I love this idea. Fantastic job. I'm going to give it a shot myself for an app I'm prototyping.

I know many people that would buy something like this. It sounds like it would be a great into to the basics of the main web technologies.

You mention a database - client side local storage or server side? If server side, what server side language were you planning on using, out of curiosity?

Before I switched to Apple hardware, I developed one app in a VMWare VM that was successfully approved and is currently in the app store.

A previous comment of my own that might lead you down the right path: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1262569

Also, what's with the html? It seems to have been generated given the alt text, and it also seems to have been saved by IE and then reuploaded? Or, did you, for some odd reason, specifically decide to manually add that, even though a bulk of your audience will definitely not be using IE?

If you're trying to sell any kind of professional service, especially one where you will be designing a brand and its identity, you should not use "I can haz design" as the name of one of your packages.

Yes, but did you see how low the prices are?

2nd generation AppleTVs already run iOS.

From the linked page in your parent: "It turns out that only 9 of the first 275 checks that I've sent out since the beginning of 2006 have actually been cashed. The others have apparently been cached. So this change in policy will probably not affect too many people. On the other hand, I don't like to renege on promises, so I shall do my best to find a suitable way to send money to anyone who really prefers legal tender."

Might want to upgrade from the small instance sooner than that, the site seems completely unresponsive right now.

I think they have a facility available like this for their larger customers to ease receiving. You'd probably need to have a decent sized account before they would give you access to something like this, and it would only be for addresses you have registered with them, not a random lookup of any address.

Since when did Oracle sell OEL? They give it away for free.

They sell support.

You can use colors to denote a category, if you can easily categorize your tasks into a few groups.

I'd be very interested in this domain for a tutorial site for new developers. I have several domains I'd be willing to exchange, or we can work out something. Shoot me an email if you're interested, my email is in my profile.

Thanks

I can tell you that I used to work for a life insurance company that had similar policies (no pun intended). The only way to read the actual policy was to pay the initial premium.

They would issue the policy, and then the owner/insured would have a 15-day "free look" period where the policy can be canceled and the premium refunded in full.

Free look periods are part of state insurance law in the life & health insurance world. I'm not sure if this also holds true for property and causality, but I'd assume it does.

Good point about 70% of the cost being returned by Apple, I forgot to include that. That makes things seem a lot more reasonable.
