    monetising a website by putting ads or affiliate links on it does not qualify as a "startup" in my opinion. It bugs me how the hacker community throws the word startup around willy…

    I just upgraded from my 2010 MBP to the most recent Macbook Air 13" and I am so happy I did. The screen isn't that bad because they stepped up the resolution to 1440x900. It gives …

    The problem is that the app uses the same API key no matter what device it is installed on. If you download the app today you can find the API key and use it to retrieve the passwo…

    I was wondering that too! He has blatantly shown that he has forked Laravel in the README. I kinda feel sorry for the guy, he just doesn't realise you aren't allowed to relicense i…
