Yea; we always, always return a 200. I have no idea about redirects but you can test that using the (very, very painful) sandbox. FYI, another lesson we learned the hard way: if you are testing your IPNs in the sandbox and you include a port number in the URL, the IPNs will silently fail. You also can't use IP addresses for IPN testing (again, they will silently fail) so I setup an A record in our DNS pointing to my local machine for testing.

I used to do screen sharing through iChat (Mac to Mac) but this was always a hassle when I was using multiple external monitors (the screen/text was too small and nearly unreadable if the person I was sharing with was on a laptop). There could exist some fix for this but I never found it.

Screenhero handles this much better and I can just share an application (e.g. VIM, Chrome, etc.) and the distortion is minimized. At first I didn't think the multiple mouse feature was that big of a selling point, but I've actually found it quite useful; when working on a remote team you can't physically point that the screen with your finger so the mouse does the job :)

I run 20-30 miles/wk, and have a very different take on this than bialecki -- I find when to rotate my shoes really problematic. Explanation: I log every single workout and know exactly how many miles I run per week, but the issue is that I actively rotate between 2-3 pairs of shoes (one of my previous running coaches once told me that you should never run in the same pair of shoes back to back, and rotating has worked very well to help me avoid injury). In 2012, I ran around 1000 miles, but I honestly have very little idea what the distribution of the miles was between my shoes (keeping in mind that I might wear one pair for a 10 mile distance run, and another for a 3 mile track workout). Looking at the wear on the soles generally helps, but this method is crude at most.

Thus, for the runner who has one pair of shoes and logs their workouts, I agree that this device has little if no use. For someone like me, I would appreciate a solution where I could attach this to each pair and "set and forget it". A $15 or below price point is an attractive solution, especially if these devices have a long life (multi-year).
