I have 2.

Beautiful picture but it's 28hz @ 4k. This causes a "lag" between the mouse and cursor that is completely unbearable for me (not a gamer, I'm talking just web browsing / email / coding), and I've pretty much stopped hooking them up. Try adjusting your display settings to sub-30hz to see what it feels like.

Re:EasyPost drags the postage stamp into the 21st century on Friday February 08, 2013 @07:47PM (#5191015)
Nice! Have you thought of putting "NO MONTHLY FEE" somewhere on the homepage? I missed that part, and pretty much just assumed it because of the other services.

I'm probably not going to figure out the api to print a stamp though. Is a non-api + non-signup version in the works? That's what I'd really want next time I need a stamp.

Is there a website that will sell a single printable stamp online? I send maybe 2 letters a year, and would gladly pay something ridiculous like 500% markup when I can't find a stamp.

Where are you seeing it's optional? Do you mean it's just not enforced?

Vimeo Plus is intended for individuals who want more features than a Basic (free) account, however Vimeo Plus users may not upload videos that are commercial in nature, or that are intended to sell or promote a product or service.

Was the $200 spent on Vimeo Pro? This is why I didn't host mine on Vimeo.

Businesses may not use basic Vimeo or Vimeo Plus accounts to host their videos. Businesses may, however, use a Vimeo PRO account to host their videos so long as they comply with the Vimeo PRO guidelines.

Isn't it easy enough to just delete columns you don't need after importing one of the public sources?

The service is not for me, but just wanted to say it's a beautifully executed responsive homepage.
Great suggestion
What benefit could a 3rd party conceivably get out of faking clicks on Facebook ads? Is there a rev share at all with publishers, like with adsense?
