    Very similar to what I have done. It's very powerful to have a lot of notes in one system like Evernote. Mine goes back to 2006. Likewise, I don't use it for document collaboration…

    This isn’t a documentary about hi-if equipment. It’s a story about this man’s obsession. The sacrifices and guilt now realized. Nearing the end of his life with a terminal illness …

    Fun software, easy to use. Was able to scan my kid's stuffed animal and reproduce a small 3d-printed version of it.

    I just got the Trekz Titanium, put them on my head backwards for the first time last night. Works great. Nothing in the ear – wireless so no cords to get tangled up in. Super flexi…

    I can't +1 one this comment enough. Both have track records in office and the choice can't be more clear. I'm shocked that anyone is supporting Peskin after his term of obstruction…

    Totally agree. Having kids is a window in life that is much Shorter than the window for doing a startup. I was a bit crazy and had two little ones when I started and a third not to…

    I had the fortune of getting wrapped up in the Chico yoyo scene of the late 90's. It was amazing to see the transformation around that time. There were only one or two metal, ball …

    I wholeheartedly disagree. A much more important factor is how ready you are and what kind of support structure you have to start out with. If that is later in a career (and when y…

    I have a good feeling that there will be some text as well. :) FWIW we imagine that field replacements will be less common and simply run with 'dead drives' will be more common. In…

    Well given that the device will start asking for a DHCP address when it is powered on, it will probably not do anything.

    Good question. That sounds like a reasonable idea for quickly identify when looking for a replacement in the spares closet.

    This is a good thing for a couple of reasons. First it allows equipment manufacturers to build chassis with the same drive trays that are already in production. Second, it that fro…

    Cool! I used to have that dorm poster in my dorm. Does that make me old?

    I'm biased here -- but I see OpenStack Swift coming out as a winner out of all of this. It's an object storage system that can span multiple cloud orchestration frameworks.

    I actually did credit card arbitrage in one of my first startups. We discovered a niche market where online credit card transactions were charged exorbitant rates for low-volume, n…

    I would still recommend it, even to those who know how to program. A lot of the book is just non-stop typing as fast as you can. The benefit to me was how it improved my 'muscle me…

    This is Yehuda's m.o. -- take a framework and make it less monolithic before he extends functionality. He's done this with Merb and Rails. These have greatly improved those framewo…

    I think there is a market for a lead generation product for niche hosting providers. Have a pay service that 'hunts' down high-traffic or newly-launched websites that fit the profi…
