I think it can be triggered automatically when a major shift happens in a stock. I remember a few of these back in the 2000s when things were crashing left and right.

Is there any poll that show that this founder unhappiness is real? Are founders less happy than population as a whole? Or is it that we expect founders of successful companies to b…

This has been out in the wild for a while now. I first noticed it when I added IAP to my application. My app will call on our server to verify receipt and I was getting bogus recei…

Can you clarify the phrasing of your cloud issues? Do you mean there is no solution for trust/privacy issues, or do you mean there is no solution for licensing? As for paying, this…

So essentially blog categories? This feature is only useful for a very minor audience. Most people don't create a lot of content, and won't bother tagging their short tweet/status.…

The question is, do you trust all your Facebook friends' tastes? Perhaps I just want to ask a few people that I trust in . Of course, the questions will be a great way for companie…

The last one had some great speakers. Really enjoyed Bob Metcalfe's talk.

Too bad Baydin is moving to Cali. I learned a lot from the public pitch they did a few weeks ago at Capitalize. Guess the pitch was good practice for the west coast. :) Wish these …
