    Ah that sounds rough! The contractors at my company aren't from agencies, they get paid more in place of getting company benefits. Didn't realise there were other kinds - Thanks fo…

    Isn't that a call you make when you sign on as a contractor though? At least at my company, contractors make a boatload more money, with the provision that you don't get any of the…

    It's awesome to see some more players in this space. I've been keenly watching out for Modern Meadow's updates as well. Looking forward to seeing what this will bring!

    I'm curious about the magnetic mount. Doesn't that mean you can just walk up and take the camera? EDIT: Apparently it has an anti-theft alarm, so your camera theft will also requir…

    Doesn't this affect all of their CPUs going a long way back? And how do you recall embedded or laptop CPUs, which are often soldered in-place? A recall would be great, but there's …

    I love it, but my minor nitpick is that if you press tab for auto-complete it jumps up and back down again (in Firefox, anyway)
