"When asked if he had been provided a reason for the firing, the one word response was 'Gawker.' -- wow... taking absolutely no responsibility for perhaps the fact that his behavior had something to do with it.

some context: this was written by a guy who moved from california to washington state -- a state with no personal income tax -- just before his company was acquired for tens of millions of dollars. i'm not implying anything, just giving some context.

I have a single OmniOutliner file with all of my ideas and random thoughts. It is much better to have tools that support ad-hoc organization than tools that limit you to a flat space. It's so easy to create outlines in OmniOutliner, that it would be silly not to. Definitely recommend it. Before that, it was emailing ideas to myself with a tag in the subject line.

Why would anyone click on a link to view a hacked website? If a website has been hacked, then it could also be transmitted malware to viewers' computers, couldn't it?

smoody — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:41:46 +0000

I'm fairly certain this won't make the front page, but... I have a friend who bootstrapped his company using the SBIR program. Doing so requires some extra work/bookkeeping, etc., but it's worth it for risky projects and, based on his experiences, I'd highly recommend it. His project was risky and required a major amount of research and there is no way he would have received traditional funding because it seems almost like an impossible project at first glance. It took him almost a decade of work to bring it to market and he's very close now. When I say "bootstrapping," I'm not talking living-off of ramen. I'm talking about being able to pay you and your researchers salaries, purchase required equipment, etc. -- you have to justify every dollar spent, but you don't have to live in poverty. In the end, you own all the equity, you own the IP and the final product, and I believe there's even a program where, under certain circumstances, the SBIR program will match outside investments if you are able to commercialize your work, but I don't know the details. It's not automatic, but it's not impossible either.

And, btw, he's an engineer and was able to manage the SBIR requirements without the help of a professional paper-pusher, etc.

Does anyone know if the Mac app might be open-sourced in the same way the iOS app was open-sourced? I'm working on an OS X app that could benefit from both tight integration with their server-based service and I think I could learn a lot from their Mac app source code, as this will be my first Mac app.
