Horrible reporting: This article leads people to believe Godaddy moved all of their customers DNS over to Verisign.

All Godaddy did was temporarily move their single godaddy.com DNS to verisign so they could display a 'we are working on it' message to visitors during the attack.

I am in So Cal, but I have had POS displays and packaging done by http://www.winterborne.com/ and http://www.tazpack.com/

While I think tor and something like torchat is good in theory, its big negative in reality is that the speed makes it unusable most of the time. Not to mention if you are altruistic and plan to run a node, you also run the risk of the FBI knocking on your door for someone who used your (exit) node to upload their kitty porn (the exit is not encrypted).

And if you do run that exit node, you can sniff what people are doing (so there goes the anon part).

if pepsi could have bought coke's recipe for $99, that analogy would make sense:

or how about lamebook creating bit.ly urls for each post?

Am I getting my 2.99 back? Or is the free version ad supported? In the process of trying to get more users, the free move might alienate their paying customers

to give you any type of valuable (and actionable) response, you need to tell us the url. otherwise, you will get comments like

find another investor? pivot your idea? "keep up with it" try to monetize on your users in other ways

did you see http://www.ebookprice.info/

not trying to discourage you...theres a lot of room for improvement in the UI

Title should be changed to "Fight IE6 by overcharging your client for the headache"

I just built something that builds something

The makerbot.

This is dated-- they aren't profitable[1]. As far as the ethical parts of this article, it's not different than gambling sites. And I bet just like Vegas, it will become profitable when people feel comfortable wasting money again

Why don't you check out the tou of a scraping service like mozenda http://www.mozenda.com/policies

or fetch.com

I think you guys are just looking at value differently.

I didn't know about either of your companies but by the discussion, its clearly possible for Tarsnap users to derive value from the trust associated with transparency and feeling like their dollar is maximized. tptacek, pricing schemes aren't the only component of the purchase decision or profitability. His users are making a more emotional decision. cperciva should stick to the core of what his users are finding valuable...then get bought out and turn into an evil profit maximizing company

Clickbank is exactly what you want in this situation. You are selling an eBook

How about an import feature from google web history. Doesn't it also index the pages you visit for searching? It has a bookmarklet and can crawl all of your web history if you tell it to

Simple answer is that it depends

Depends on if you care about the scalability, optimization, and speed of the site. If you do then you will pay a lot for US dev

The alternative is to outsource and get all those features for 2k. Go to elance, guru, odesk, or getafreelancer.

The latter I would suggest for proof of concept of prototyping an idea. Once you get a whole bunch of traffic and users you can rebuild it correctly when it's worth it to do so.

Launch fast with the least investment.

I like that it works natively in safari on my iPhone. That's a plus. One suggestion for content, as far as the rap scene goes, I would have thought to see mixtapes released by the rapper when I type something like lil Wayne. Instead I get other remixes from other artists sampling lil waynes beats...

I have heard you can remove that noise by putting magnetic snap things over the power line of the speakers you have. It looks like a capsule that opens halfway and then you snap the cord in between. I have a ton from old plasma/lcd installs as most people just throw them away in the box.

I like the email me forwarder idea as well. I have wanted to contact fellow readers in the past

Contact the guys at domai.nr I've talked with them before. They have a integration with godaddy that is able to check availability and earn a comission if the user buys a domain name through the service. They also use 101domain for obscure .nr, .ly., etc TLDs

It's hard to shell out 10k for something that Twitter might find violates their TOS---even if it doesn't now. I am defintely passionate about the idea/model but that's a big stumbling block.

My sites were down for 20 min, I bet MT gives me 3 mos for free if I call up. That's why I love them

Nzmsv, let's talk Bryan at schindyguy dot com

Another wordpress blog hosted on godaddy that got hacked. Luckily, I caught it when it started redirecting and was able to restore the hosting account to a week prior. Coincidently I was moving my hosting over to media temple that weekend and fortunately didn't move the virus over.

After the headache that godaddya vulnerability caused, they sent me the exact same bullshit about updating wordpress. I have and always have updated wordpress and plugins within days of a new release.

Godaddy is for registering domains only, I learned that the hard way last weekend...

Also, I was in contact with a couple of people making money off of the base64 vulnerability: they have packages specifically for cleaning and securing the install. What's funny is that they have no way of securing it, just temporarily cleaning it until it gets hacked again. The article has some advice and you check out their services:

I dont think thats what he is talking about... and I would put a video demo on your site right where the pic is...

We are also thinking a javascript genius would work well too because of the nature of Adobe Air. Thanks again for looking

Wouldnt that just skew all grades higher? Why wouldnt I want to give out all A's to my B and C students if it meant hire pay? Or am I missing something

I just have to say I would use your service...

Definitely going to use this strategy in the future, but hope the reach of this post doesn't flood blogger's inboxes with similar schemes.
