    Hire a designer - the UI and UX could use some work. Here's some of the design feedback I'd give you: - You're not utilizing the whole width of the page, and the table looks pretty…

    They're not. You're right. Wire transfers often are not able to be undone once they happen (and are accepted by the other bank). This is the reason why there's so much verification…

    Sweet! I wonder if there's a way to gauge public opinion on these links - one of the apps obviously has some awful reviews on iTunes (Vapor). It'd help keep people away from apps t…

    I miss the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series, especially the awesome X-Wing vs TIE Fighter game. I would have loved to see a modern remake of those games.

    Gqogle? The first O makes it look too much like a Q. Not really going to fly.
