Is there any reason I need this if I already have a Roku?

How about adding Houston? Also, there is a spelling error in the Motorcycles quick link on the left side. (Motorycycles)
It has already been said, but it cannot be said enough -- Don't hire untrustworthy people.
Police Quest, Space Quest, King's Quest, Hero's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Black Cauldron, Gold Rush.. best games ever. (I'm probably forgetting some.) Fancy 3D graphics are cool and all.. but some of the best games ever only needed 16 to 256 colors and a keyboard.
I agree. A lot of bugs could indicate one of two things. First you need to differentiate between bugs caused by developer error and bugs caused by lack of project planning/scope. For example, a bug report that complains 'columns in the grid do not support sorting' is not a bug. They are feature requests not originally defined in the scope of the project. Bugs such as one where 1+1=3 due to a developer's bad algorithm are actual bugs. There is a big difference here. These are the bugs that should be caught by QA long before the release and while the project and algorithm are still fresh on the developers mind. There needs to be accountability for lack of planning or assuming that every time a developer uses a widget that it will have every feature possible for that widget to have.
You make more money and grow your business by developing new features, not by fixing bugs. Some bugs must be fixed now and that is fine but if you spend a lot of time trying to fix every bug then you never develop new features. I think that is the point that was trying to be made.
This the culture we are trying to change at work. Shift from a drop-everything-and-fix-the-bug-now culture to a fix only true emergency bugs now and mainly focus on developing new, high impact features. In other words, expanding the business capabilities of the software. Note: This will bring in more profit and grow the business which eventually will lead to hiring of more developers to handle new projects.
Same here
I have used Dotster for quite a few years also. I have zero complaints with them.
This reminds of of a story. I once worked at a place that would transfer solicitors and similar callers to our fake employee Helen Wait's voicemail (pronounced hell 'n wait). "Can I speak to somebody about where you buy your paper products?" "Sure, let me transfer you to Helen Wait."
As a one user Google Apps (paid) customer I have called Google several times and always got great support. If they can provide even the small customer like me with great support I think they're probably treating their bigger customers even better.
Typically, I Google Talk with my closest friends and wife. Luckily they all use Android phones so they are always a quick Google Chat message away. Facebook is great for inviting friends to events (easy to cheat and use your friends list as a hint to make sure you don't forget anybody). Email is good for personal pictures and touching base with family. Phone calls are really only for when I need an answer now or talking to my Dad who doesn't use any social media, Google chat and rarely checks his email. I don't like the phone because most of the time you aren't really saying much anyways. Why not just get off the phone and send me a message when you've made a decision? I don't need to listen to you think.
Great site -- my G1 just sold on your site. The selling process was very easy. I am impressed. Hope the sells continue for you.
Your web application looks quick, simple and to the point. I like it!
