I never knew I always wanted to know. Neat.

He goes on to further state:

"Quick review of the #ShadowBrokers leak of Top Secret NSA tools reveals it's nowhere near the full library, but there's still so much here that NSA should be able to instantly identify where this set came from and how they lost it. If they can't, it's a scandal."

Good memories.

Does anyone remember where an Exodus colo facility was in SF around that same time (1999-2001)? That was my first visit to the area and I can't seem to locate the neighborhood now that I live here.

Spaceballs.

I was making $1-3k monthly. I logged in at the end of November (*edit: 2012) to see what my Xmas bonus was going to be. Turns out it would be a big, fat zero. Account suspended/canceled.

I submitted a claim and they said: sorry, no - you're done.

There was zero reason to do it. No ToS violations, no fraudulent clicks. Just $30k less in my bank account for the next year. The second most frustrating part, aside from the loss of revenue, is that they won't tell you why or what caused the cancellation.

Edit 2: RIP AdSense account, ~2006-2012

Agreed. Why spend the effort on the new display look then?

My visits to the promotions tab has been reduced to 0-1 time a month since their introduction. I guess they need to try something to get those visits back?

"Between 15:51 and 15:52 PDT, 50% to 70% of requests to Google received errors; service was mostly restored one minute later, and entirely restored after 4 minutes."

No.

I'm stuck on 16... doesn't seem to be doing anything after I shared the folder :/

I hid IE after installing Chrome frame, then replaced both Chrome and FF icons with the IE icon.

Just in case.

Agreed 100%

Actually, I think it will be much worse than that. Think: location based advertising. In order to use color you have to allow GPS for the app and, optionally, push-notifications. A perfect combo for pushing ads when you're within X range, etc.

I sent a tweet to them yesterday, but got no response. https://twitter.com/#!/tenaciousJk/status/51033367050846208

edit: group response to the below

No geo-ad platform has this low barrier to entry with this high of an incentive. Simply snap a pic and it's recorded and you're "checked in" if you will. You're doing something you want to be doing: recording your event, people you're with, etc. With 4S and Gowalla you have to want to check-in. Checking in is the app - not recording your memory by way of a picture/video. Sharing pictures is the biggest social app on the web.

Watching Star Wars via telnet... I've been looking for that command for ages.

I saw this yesterday and loved it. I'll spare you my critique - the logo new logo is great!

Now removed :/

It let me opt-out of all except AOL's ad tracking...

Monoprice needs to release their version of this cable!

I bought my MBP in summer 2010 and the HDMI audio spec and adapters weren't known or available yet.

Haven't checked monoprice yet, but these look legit :)

Thanks!

Isn't an auth code regenerated every 30 seconds? Just enter the new code displayed on your phone? Two passwords is okay by me for an added layer of security.

Bootstrapped, baby.

And really... thanks for the compliment. We weren't so sure about it :)

Pricing hasn't been solidified yet. We're competitive...

I believe I have your email address. I'll keep you posted.

An update to this post:

I think we were on the front of the site for about 45 minutes. We saw over 2k uniques within that time.

Then we saw another wave late that night when Europe woke up and started tweeting. The "social sharing" confirmation page continues to bring traffic, but it's slowed considerably after the first two days.

I haven't used Big Brother specifically. Big Brother appears to be filling an enterprise level need for "everything". I'm guessing the majority of their users only actually need 80% of its functionality (if that).

We're starting with that majority-of-users functionality and building from there. Ease of use will and simplicity are our primary goals. Internal monitoring by way of server-side agents is part of the plan.

The best feedback and advice I've gotten so far.

The monitoring product idea was created because of that exact issue. Nothing seemed to really solve the problem for us. I'll definitely refer back to this comment often.

You can follow me directly on twitter (same username) for any feedback or suggestions.

We're similar in that we're simplifying the server monitoring process.

For now, that's all I can say...

deal.

Keeping it simple while still remaining functional for "advanced" users is one of my primary goals. We will start with the basics, but only so we can actually launch the product asap.

That's really the problem we're looking to solving though. Simplifying the mess. (that includes billing)

In the end, we have a certain feature set that's our internal goal. Whether their is demand for every part of that is another topic. Polling and a/b testing will determine where our development efforts are focused and how the first iterations shape up.

btw, thanks :)
