Being obsessed with productivity I would say sanebox.com is a must have and coupled with the boxer iOS app it truly is the best email solution I have used in the past 20 years. I hate to pay for service in an arena where most is free but the cost of sanebox is worth it to me. I don't work or know anyone at the company so this is truly a not bias recommend. I have zero inbox and a killer reminder capability built in. Btw - sanebox did what online service companies "should" do, same as 37signals, they offer a service worth paying for, and don't need to get acquired to make money, only sell their service for a price people are willing to pay - seems like a solid biz plan, eh?

Seems like a lot is happening in terms of start-ups going after the on-line "Dreams" space, is 2014 the year of online dreams?

Nice! Didn't know about leaflet.js, and happy I now do! Very fast results BTW.

I have witnessed on two separate occasions a laptop left with a TSA security check point (Dallas and Cleveland) and both times they dod the right thing and too possession of the laptop and locked it up, both time it took aprox 48 to contact the airport (after the situation was realized) and the laptop was properly retrieved. That being sated - would I recommend TSA? No!

Further I worked for both AA and Untied (granted in IT) and have flown over 2M miles - this guy got lucky a honest person found the laptop - period. You cant rate an airline on one honest or dishonest person (further it's possible it was not even a UA employee who found the laptop!).

Please check out the Nokia tablet ad, and then tell me it's not beyond horrible! I challenge you to find a single positive marketing point, just one...

And then check out Apple's ad , love'em or hate'em - it's brilliant and powerful.

from my experience it's not everything or nothing. In fact I would say i have never done a XP project where we did everything, but we almost always add tests (what %, simply depends on the project), and they always gave us tremendous insights, we did some level (mostly very little) paring (on either super hard or super critical code) and it always helped get thru the code or provide what mgmt needed, more then one person to understand something that was too critical to leave to only one person. people need to enjoy what they do, and employers need to understand if you want strong talent you need both to work as a team (not shove "do it this way" down people's throats) and XP requires BUY IN. - BTW I am a CTO who has been pushing XP on all dev projects for the past 5 years and I don't code :-)
