Thanks. I totally forgot about Foursquare :o


I'm from the Netherlands so my rountine is; Wake up, check mail and HN/reddit/businessinsider/TC/Mashable, shower, make sandwiches for lunch, get on the tram. Upon arriving boot up pc, respond to work mails, grab coffee and the day starts.


With that $41m they got, not a whole has been achieved thus far. What is the problem they are trying to solve with this?

I mean, cool a broadcasting tool that i.e. Qik.com or Justin.tv already provides. It drains you battery, it drains you data plan. Unless you use WiFi, but other than that it is not really a app that will get you far.

When I go on vacation I use it for the peace and not to show my pleasurable moments with my friends. When I go to a concert, I go there for myself and not my friends. Plus the quality that gets pushed out is so bad, especially sound, it is better for them to wait for a Youtube upload than see and hear it from my crappy lit phone with bad microphone.

Just like others say, quit using the word pivot. And the website could use a video explaining, because reading it her e in a comment, MAKES ZERO SENSE!


Yes. You're quite correct. This application will be centered to places where data is cheap/free. Definitely not for Australians, New Zealanders etc.

With $41 million, you'd have thought they could execute anything. I thought everyone had a million ideas, but it all came down to execution...


In the US, unlimited data plans are in the $80+taxes range per month, where taxes add a significant amount. This makes the new Color a cutesy amusement to try out once and then delete.


There is a difference between a real celebration and whoring up your myspace page.


I think mgkimsal was making a joke.


Like I didn't know that. Sometimes internet, sometimes...


Mostly, yes. :)


2 generations on my mothers side.


My mom is a burnout. She is no longer capable of working at all. She can fulfill tiny things at home for a short period.

We canceled many vacations because of her burnout. So treat it serious, because it can cost you your career and will control your life!


We potentially can run out of space, the same way we run out of Oil etc.

But we can go into deeps. The ground is an awesome solution for storing data and building data centers. Its great for cooling, but bad when the earth does bad stuff.


This is true and I suppose with more virtual space, less physical space we will be able to store more on less but even then it will be interesting to see. Do you know of any statistics of common data usage of people?


Thanks! I totally forgot about SO.

Sorry if this caused any problems. :)


All I read was, we are still alive and after your money for providing a better alternative.

I am surprised that RealNetworks is still here. That software was so bad!


A checklist is supposed to be like that.

Remember you are not making the checklist only for you. If you work for a company they need to have prove that the checks have been done correctly. This is a form of auditing.

Also, if you reduce the text on that list then you have a checklist. So basically you generate 2 separate documents. One is the checklist, other one explains it.


Depends how you look at it.

They read like advise on how to do things, rather than a list of things that are required to do before you launch.
