This is great! I assume most of your customers will be businesses, so why not offer a bulk "@domain" subscription for $999 (lifetime) so that anyone in the business can use it without restriction. Restrict the other packages to personal use and you should be able to drive up your income.
How do they plan to beam energy back to Earth?
Only on the US store, unfortunately.
It looks impressive, but I wonder what the power requirements are? What is this in equivalent LED bulbs or cost per year?
People are leaving at 2/3AM? Hope this was an office event!
How are chip and pin cards "completely unsuitable for ecommerce and mobile payments"? I can manage both of these fine in the UK.
I was interested in using the expanded range, but it needs to access administrator privileges which I can't use on my locked-down work laptop. The normal version is a lifesaver though!
Do you have links to any good tutorials about programming (in any language) for this purpose?
It's nothing to do with the metric system. Can you visualise 330m, or would it be easier to visualise three football pitches (or insert any other familiar large area)?
How about instead of a one-off donation of 20, they had a further site for recurring payments? I got to the end (without spamming my friends), hit the payment page (would have auth'd with paypal but no option to), then didn't end up doing anything. It's well presented but needs more than one funnel for people who give up at the end.
Incredible. This is exactly what I thought when that Cue email popped into my inbox this morning. "What the hell is this?"
Using FF 9 here, and I'm stuck on the loading/waiting for next round page :(
I'd rather take a hit to my reputation than a hit in the face with a bullet.
Is this not just console.fm?
Indeed, the monetary value makes things impersonal - great idea!
Considering a normal Segway costs about 4-5 times that, it's pretty impressive stuff! I'd like to know how long the batteries last/how fast it could go. Seems a lot more portable than an actual Segway as well.
It always amazes me how people will actually take time out of their day to personally abuse someone. Great response post and best of luck with your recruiting!
This is amazing, loving the choice/variety. Can see it becoming my new destination to discover music

"The height of absurdity was reached, I believe, when I was asked to prepare the proposal for the preparation of a plan to produce a proof of concept for a module of a tool the client was implementing."
Wow, that sounds pretty inane.

It creates a nice animation showing your profile pictures, friends, tagged pictures, status updates, videos etc on walls in a museum with people walking around your 'exhibits'. It's a fun timewaster.
