For some reason I feel this will be bought by a Google or Facebook before making it to market. I can't explain why, I just get that vibe.
It works now. It was an oversight with their SSL registration. The link given to the feds was www. Which worked. They just omitted the www.

Wonder if this might have any effect on Google/Motorola's licensing of the Droid trademark from Lucasfilm?
Re:Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs of Software Development on Saturday January 28, 2012 @01:10PM (#3522717)
I prefer this version http://dubroy.com/blog/a-hierarchy-of-needs-for-code/

I don't think either is spot-on, but it is a good way to visualize and remind yourself of what is important in your project.

Even the projects themselves have their own hierarchy. Do I care that the one-off crud app the boss asked for to update some reference tables ever reaches the "Enlightened Phase"? Probably not. I don't think I would get any "Actualization" from that.

But that browser based game I am writing at home? Or a library my colleagues are going to use at work? Or some crud app that is going to be used extensively by people everyday? Then I think it is worth it to look at those projects from the point of view presented here.

HP isn't getting out of tablets entirely. They will be making Win 8 tablets.
