It's not as nice of an input device as Apple's trackpad, but it's my favorite mouse to date. (and the first Apple mouse that I actually enjoyed using.)

iPad doesn't work worth a damn in the sun (the finger smudges show up, and the screen washes out), and even in the dark it's just not as nice as reading from paper or kindle.

I've found a bunch of use cases where the iPad excels, but there's little to no overlap with the Kindle.

You're kidding, right? I gave an example in which you've launched, have a profitable product, have $100k in the bank, and are debating the merits additional funding.

In my example, the additional funding will put a LOT of extra money in your pockets, even though you'll dilute your equity, and even though you'd have a profitable business without it.

Simplified example:

You have a customer acquisition cost of $10, and lifetime customer value is roughly $50. Average customer duration is 18 months. You expect this situation to last for 5 years. Your addressable target market has a population of approximately 20m individuals.

Ignoring all other factors, would you rather have:

a) 100% equity, and a $100k marketing budget?

b) 50% equity, and a $1m marketing budget?

c) 20% equity, and a $5m marketing budget?

Can you see why this might not be the solid proof of identity that you like to imagine it was?

Your expert disagrees with what mine told me, and it seems to disagree with the IRS as well. I'd suggest you obtain a second opinion if this situation is relevant to your life.

Actually, they got a request that they be grateful that they received some minor expenses, and some whinging that BUL paid some money but didn't receive a finished product.

"Sorry about this" would've been nigh infinitely better, as it would've shown some understanding of the value proposition as viewed by the entrepreneur.

Thus, not only did they do a positive thing for their community, they also added a little bit of value to their business.

First line in each description ;-)

There is no Netflix logo present in either portrait or landscape mode, whilst a movie is playing.

Virtually nobody changed their mind (many simply got more strident in their position when confronted with opposing interpretations.) Many commenters overemphasized the portions of the video that agree with their existing beliefs, while downplaying or arguing portions that were not in line with those beliefs.

It makes me wonder if perhaps precision is overrated when it comes to writing. Perhaps an imprecise record of one's beliefs would be more popular, as it would allow room for this sort of selective interpretation.

If the ESPN app had been of higher quality, I would've loved it during the games tonight. As it stood, there wasn't anything of gamecast caliber, but it was still handy for keeping track of who was in foul trouble without having a laptop handy. It's smaller, cooler-running, and cheaper than my laptop, all of which are a bonus for use near alcohol.

As it stands, my biggest complaint is that because there aren't "users", there's no good way for me to allow access to private information (email especially) and also let guests play with it. I wish I could require a password to some apps. No other major critiques.

The screen does, in fact, get smudgy as hell when using it, but at least for me, it's only visible from an off angle, so I don't notice while I'm using it. As such, it seems both the "it smudges like a motherfucker" and "it doesn't matter" groups were correct.

If Apple will add in some sort of parental controls system or something for accessing/viewing the existence of some apps, it'll gain substantial utility for me. Until then, it's like a much shinier indoor Kindle.

I actually agree completely with what you said, especially after reading the thread he cited.

Another is buying an Apple instead of a PC. I recently replaced one of each, and the difference in the quantity of decisions and amount of technical knowledge required to make them intelligently was staggering.

Once I decided to buy the Mac, the whole purchase took about 5 minutes. The PC took hours. Once again, choice was a nifty double-edged sword.

Summary: The Telnet service in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2, and Server 2008 Gold and SP2 allows remote Telnet servers to execute arbitrary code on a client machine by replaying the NTLM credentials of a client user, aka "Telnet Credential Reflection Vulnerability," a related issue to CVE-2000-0834.

or maybe not ;-)

I've been called to voir dire three times, and three times I've been excused after being asked about my educational and professional experience.

Rather, it's simply that they're already aware of their old employers strengths and weaknesses, so vendor evaluation is made a lot simpler.

Or at least I think I did... I had to google it up because the URL you gave me had some sort of oddly broken redirect, so I'm simply assuming that he only did one Moth recording.
