That's partialy a good news for many website as their affiliate programm (AdultFriendFinder, ...) was attracting lots of people using black hat technics to acquire trafic (fake websites, ads, Google bots manipulation, etc).
I tried to find a Merge and acquisition attorney/lawyer. None of them (the good ones) understand my business... Internet is too complicated for these guys... :( So to my experience, they are only of bad advice.
We are speaking about $10M...
This thing is that they have added tons of other conditions not related to the Due Diligence and the acquiring process itself.
They already set some constraints for the afterwards.
I would like them not to use the knowledge they will acquire during the assessment of my assets. :)
I was in nyc manathan. Data Network was often unavailable. I had the 4g unlimited dataplan but only using 3g (iphone 4).
I have mixed feelings... does the US know that many big cities in developping countries have better subways (automated, brand new, clean, without pee smell, ?). Officials should at least be motivated to fix the minimum: like digital display in wagons displaying the right stations... ;)
Do not trust people telling you you can make more usually 8% or plus. They are only employees who want to sell something or have an interest making you believe it is the case. The 8% is only a figure that our parents had. These days are over. Average is 4% (which also means that some years you will be negative!)
Rule of thumb: not too aggressive financial investment will make 4% on average. As long as the FED continues with "free money for all", the figures will remain lower. Grab your excel and simulate your situation starting from the sum of your fixed and varying costs. Do not forget anything (retirement plan, kids, etc)
- Too many clicks to have the same results. (Canned responses are +60% of the work and have no shortcut !?!)
- Copying the email of the sender requires too many actions (you can no more <ctrl>+c it simply. We often need that to do some checks in an other application)
- Bugs
- The size of the Windows is way too small (We often send detailed procedures which are long. Shorter = user lost or more questions)

G should have put the gmail UI resources on Reader instead...
Google has made a pure "Top-down decision". Apple also made one like this: replace Google Maps by Maps Apple style. #Fail
Apple had Mapgate. Google has Readergate.
This is such a sad news for lots of specialized website (including Google blogs!!!). For sure they will see some trafic impact. BTW, Google+ is too much time consuming per unit of information read, so I will never replace Reader by Plus.
It looks like the dev team running Google I/O website also had issues to get tickets... for the Velocity conference. ;)
Dear Google, we also love you if we are outside the USA. :) Please organize other such big events in Europe or Asia. Thanks. (BTW, why do I never see events organized by Zooglers?)
This year I wont even bother to try to get a ticket (last years it was impossible due to latency). I am in Switzerland and will stay there unfortunately. What a pitty Google is selling tickets to people/students who only want free stuff instead of long time clients who are also devs.
Honestly Apple and Windows are really complementary. All the weak points of one are the strongness of the other. I dream to see the products that a love affair between these 2 companies would produce.
Sorry, but we (people living in Switzerland) still love our trains.
They have been doing that for ages in Switzerland. However as the distances are short, more and more people were just taking no ticket betting that the controller would not have enough time to check all the passengers.
This reminds me when (Adobe) Flash evangelists were requesting us to join their "better experience" ecosystem... (10 years ago?)
Looks like NASA does not read Fitch and Moody's reports...

We use http://www.maxmind.com for our custom abuse detection system (which is using geolocation as a signal).
As he is the owner, buy the company or live with it. :(
Thanks a lot for your answer! BTW, you do a great job!!!
The guys behind Stackoverflow and Trello have a positive tracking record. There is no evidence it will change. :)
However you raise a good point: exportability/portability of the data...
Yes. It is a real nightmare if you have AdSense or Analytics. But oddly nobody speak about it in Europe. Seems like nobody care...
What about the most important feature: encryption. Can we use a private key?
Just unpacked mine. Gosh... the screen has an issue... As if there was a white-led behind the screen. It appears only on bright colors.
I have no choice: i block Tor exits by IP. Why? Scammers use Tor to pass country filtering...
One of our customer found out that his ip was in our fraud log because his exit was use by African/Eastern European scammers. He suddenly realised that Tor was not only a free speach vector but also a tool used to scammers. Also that in case of ip identification he would have to deal with the police... He shut his exit down...
Dear Michael Dell, regarding your product: Why are you still putting the price as a first argument? Do you really think you can compete against Chinese companies? You frienemy Steve Jobs proved you there is an other path paved with bricks of quality, value, ...
