Talk to your cofounder about it! Be honest, there is a solution for every problem.
I dont think any user will understand it quickly so it would be helpful. nice idea tough just not mass market useable-
I had the same idea the last days, but did not find the time to create it. AWESOME u did it. Thanks and i wish u success with it. i am definatly going to use it.
Re:Zynga 'losing $150 on every new paying customer' on Saturday January 21, 2012 @04:56PM (#3494773)
Obvious mistake made in the calculation. From "We also know that they had 3.4 million unique payers in the September quarter, which is up from 3 million at the end of December 2010." lead them to "In other words, they added 400,000 additional payers and they spent $120 million to acquire them.”

This is an obvius mistake, as not all of the 3 Million from Dec 2010 continued to be a customer in Sept 2011. I roughly assume they lost 800.000 customers in that span (i think its more), then the newly aquired customers triple to 1.2 Million. Thus Zynga makes 50$ profit per customer.

For the very most people Depression is not defeatable. It can be surpressed for some time or some symptoms, but one rarely can be "healed" from it.

I am also shocked by the complete lack of empathy. And you QEDed nothing in no way.
Parse is very unsecure because you essentially give the user full read/write/delete access to all of its data as no logic is run server side but clientside. That means any scriptkiddy can change all data as it likes.

That has nothing to do with MongoDB, but with the cirtical design flaw of Parse to trust the client not to send fake data.

Add a little twist or something to it then it is fine
Re:Iran forged the wrong SSL certificate on Thursday September 01, 2011 @05:07AM (#2949228)
So then they can only fake the traffic in their country what they can do anyway with non SSL traffic. I sounds more like this could be a global attack.
Re:Iran forged the wrong SSL certificate on Thursday September 01, 2011 @04:59AM (#2949197)
Just by having a forged SSL Certificate for ssl.google-analytics.com how can they supply their javscript ? The request still goes to the google servers and not to any evil-democracy-suppressors.gov.ir

So sure if they could reroute the request to their servers evil things could be done. But they can NOT. Or am i missing something ?

Oh and btw: Dont repost the same thing three times.
sum up your pitch to make it easier for users to get what you are pitching.

"collaborative zoomable user interface to create sketches" is the same as "multiuser whiteboard" just easier to get.
