This is a little off topic, but here goes. Shameless self promotion incoming. I'm working on a startup called http://APIXchange.co Think 99 designs but for API integration. Basical…

Awesome team building something really cool. Congrats!

Wise from the perspective of attracting investors? Maybe. Wise from the perspective of running a functional business? No. Fudging metrics to make yourself feel better is crazy. How…

It seems as though it's not really what you know, but what you're willing to do/learn. I was the business founder in my last startup, and I picked up technical skills to help when …

Couldn't these things just be increasingly safe car designs? When I started driving in 2005 side curtain airbags weren't even that common much less all the safety features we have …

For situational depression it can. Clinical depression is an entire other beats, but regular exercise increases the levels of serotonin in your brain and releases more endorphins t…

Interestingly enough it's often the industry in question often arguing for limits on itself. Less supply means they get to jack up their prices.

I'd like to second what you're saying. The ability to play with my friends in our own private regions is an awesome one, and one I'm glad they included. Frankly, I would have no pr…

It's been fun while I've actually been able to connect to EA's servers. (which is rare). I'm not going to beat the anti-drm drum, but I will say this. If EA is going to go this rou…

I'm originally from Illinois (Non chicago) and I would agree with that sentiment. In fact, where I'm from, everyone called it the People's Republic of Chicago and the rest of the s…
