As a parent, I can't imagine giving my 1 year-old a kindle to play with - I think board books will be very hard to replace with digital alternatives, unless it's something that looks and feels like a board book, but has several different stories you can choose from.

What's new in CSS4 15 years ago

+1 - I love this idea; some/most times it's easier to change the CSS instead of the HTML/template.

The articles don't seem to give a specific answer (aside from a time and day of the week,) but sounds like the consensus is 3 p.m. EST on Tuesday, your best bet being 8 weeks before traveling.

From personal experience, once you hit the 3 week mark, you're pretty much SOL until the last few days, since most seats have been sold at that point. If there are still plenty of seats (orbitz sometimes shows you the seating chart,) you'll have better results than on fuller flights.

I'd like to make an amendment: Take risks. You will pocket profits right away and bailout will cover any downside as long as you can make enough people think you are too important to fail.

Don't know the full context here, but I would show it off with newer devices and let people know a fix is almost out the door for an issue with older devices.

Also, put up a sign-up form on your site to collect user's emails to let them know when the fix is ready; that way you minimize the number of people you may lose due to the bug. They know you are being proactive and you have a way to get in touch with them.

*NOTE: Wrote this up before seeing tomjen3's message which states pretty much the same idea.

UPDATE Files are here: http://www.shaunsanders.com/colbertrallyshirt.html

Alright guys, bear with me... I got 2 hours of sleep today because I spent most of my night trying to get this thing worked on, then worked on it more through my classes lol. Here is the design itself: http://imgur.com/yiqRM.jpg Here is me being proud: http://imgur.com/RdJc4.jpg

I'm trying to figure the best way to deliver this. I'll likely host the high-res files somewhere and put a link up on my site with a step-by-step on how to make it. In total, it should only cost around $15 or so to make your own (I got my shirt for $3, a pack of iron-on's for $7, and some card-stock paper for like $5). You can obviously make more for friends and such.

I'll make a post in the Colbert Rally page with more info when I get that up in the next hour or so (sorry if I'm rushing, today's my bday and I'm supposed to be getting ready for dinner lol).

It's usually not up to Motorola or LG. It's the carriers that add (or ask to add) these additional/non-stock features. I'm curious what the state of Android is outside of the US - do carriers in other countries add the likes of V-Cast or a NASCAR app?

Sometimes (usually) it's all about marketing and getting your name out. Posting a link to your site here, there, everywhere (especially on a post about a product launch.) Talk to people about it, get feedback and build a community that gets emotionally attached to the product. You're done with the "hard" part, now it's all about increasing your luck by mingling and networking. Good luck!
