...and the ability to prioritize issues, burn down, and a standup report would be nice. This is definitely in the right direction.
Khan Academy has a bunch of things on markets which I think is pretty digestible for people - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKly7Y1woJs
Etrade has a bunch of videos on the stock market lingo but I think you need an account.
I hesitated adding this but a few of the reviews are actually obviously pretty poor and some would actually hit the level of libel. Here is an interview with the creator:

Hopefully this will reduce the remarketing ads I keep seeing(doubtful). I click 1 link on HN and then usually it's a YC company fills up all the ad units on every page.
Ahh at least it's better then the get rich quick stuff or the 1-Secret Diet Trick ads on Facebook.
It's great to be a 30+ year old gamer/entrepreneur who is living thru the console wars. The landscape today feels a lot like it did in late-90's. And this piece give you a great glimpse of the dynamics on building a ground breaking piece of software.
He mentioned iTunes SEO. Any one knows of any great posts on the subject.
The contrast between the grey and white in such a small space makes it so the eyes can immediate tell the difference between the two.
The new Gmail Preview(dense) Theme is just too light for my eyes. On my 27" screens I have to squint to see which mails are read vs unread.
Uptrends has a pretty good service. Probes that run every 10 minutes. http://uptrends.com
Usually I would just go to a museum store. There is always a bunch of items that you wouldn't find normally in a shop.
1:23EST and Reddit is back up. Quora/4SQ still down. My site still down.
I stand corrected. 4sq down again.
Foursquare is up now. Quora not showing the 503 anymore, Reddit still down.
Had our blog go down. Didn't realize it was AWS wide..did a reboot. Now I am in reboot limbo. Put an urgent ticket into Amazon. They just said they are working urgently to fix the issues. Let's see how long this goes.
To receive a Service Credit, you must submit a request by sending an e-mail message to aws-sla-request @ amazon.com.
I think I've booked at least 10 flights thru Hipmunk. Much easier system for the business traveler to understand and plan.
$7mil in this market for seasoned entrepenuers with a product making over 100k a month (their numbers via recent interviews)... not a bad business to invest in.
Let's see how they scale.
Mailchimp has something like this. It's a god send if you've got a constant updates, a bit of css knowledge and a readership.
Quora splashing into normal people's radars. Won't be Twitter's rise but definitely something to watch.
Your multiple A/b Split tests, Multi country view is spot on when looking at ad units. Imagine trying to have 1 ad unit for both japanese and a US website.
It's in the algorithm. Theirs is better then yours. Trust me on that one.
When a few publishers complain to their adwords representative that they get no conversions from your site a few flags could be raised. Such as a site audit by a Googler.
Make sure you monitor your adsense messages just in case.
The answer to your question is how much they are will pay.
Also you're in a curious position because if they have filed a Trademark on their name (in US at least not sure about UK) they can file a trademark dispute.
If you came to me and said you were squating on my TM I'd start legal procedures.
Now if they don't have a TM ... Maybe convince them to do a profit share if this new domain rockets them to new search levels. Exact domains have a much higher SEO value. So in truth it could be a win for them. I'd reach out to who ever does their SEO and let he/she be your advocate.
Google will negate the click if they are seeing high bounce rates.
A blog alert that would, via email give me a way to email my comments to blog topics I am interested.
So say I am interested in Entrepenuership, NYC Pizza, Van Gogh Paintings. I'd get a nice digest in my mail of that days blogs with a way of commenting on them without leaving my Gmail.
Beware showing different squeeze pages based on IP. Google could see that as cloaking.
But good work monetizing a simple site.
I am not sure what the site is about. Do a quick video explaining the concept of the site. Also make the homepage a landing page that educates me, gives me a preview, but enticed me to join.
I'd suggest for you to do some office jujitsu (work on the project while at work). If the project is tech one and you don't have the skill sets yourself, outsource via getacoder/elance. For less then a 1k you probably can get a working alpha for your product.
The key though as nolite mentioned is passion. You cannot be a successful entrepreneur without it. If your wife yell at you and you are passionate enough about what you are doing, yell back.
This is your dream. Make it happen.
Visit customers. If your not a natural sales person think of it like R+D. Ask questions. See there pain points and try to solve them.
He was just quoting the wired article which did indeed question the laws of physics.
