    Software development setup you up to fail - RANT

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    Yeah the above 2 posts pretty much nailed it. There are developers (who merely write the code) and there are the business analysts (who do the other stuff you mentioned). Very few people can do both well, if you can you're probably going to be reasonably wealthy whether it's through your own...

    Cartoon Video With Voice Over - How Much?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    While we're on the topic. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had any measurable success using explainer video's? Just wondering if they are in fact worth the investment? When I look at the concept of explainer videos I can't help but think of the mantra 'when everyone is digging for gold...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They look nice, but will it get me as much chicks as flashing a Rolex around a bar/nigthclub? Do hot gold diggers know how to spot a patek phillip? ;)

    Cartoon Video With Voice Over - How Much?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    They're called explainer videos, and they cost about $5k-$10k+ for a professional firm to do one. But you can get one for cheaper on freelancer.com and similar sites. I looked in to getting one done for my web app, but in the end just saw it as an unnecessary cost. have a look at this thread...

    Living in a socialist country ? Do your math !

    Madness. Have a look at what they are proposing here: "Mr Abbott has won praise in some quarters for offering new mothers 26 weeks' paid parental leave at their full wage, up to a maximum of $150,000, and funding it with a 1.5 per cent levy on the nation's biggest companies." Abbott is the...

    Any One Here Familiar with CLOUD COMPUTING

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm also confused as to what you are actually asking... I run a web application on the Windows Azure cloud platform. It's an awesome platform. Had it up and running in no time, very little system administration required and easily scale-able. It basically involves uploading your web app and...

    The proper use of "niche"

    A niche product is just a product that targets a niche market. :confused: The main part I disagreed with was this: A niche market is by definition a smaller market segment. Just wanted to demonstrate the point that there's nothing wrong with targeting a niche (ie. limited or specialized)...

    The proper use of "niche"

    I have to disagree with your definition of a 'niche market'. Is in fact a perfect example of a niche market. It's not about simply limiting your product to this market (although that's part of it) it's about targeting the market by solving a need specific to this particular niche market in a...

    Stuck In Rut - Miles away from the Fastlane

    Interesting. The last time I was in Japan I didn't buy a single electronic good, as I could buy them all cheaper in Oz from ebay. I did buy a bunch of clothes though, which I found trendier/cheaper over there, also found that food/cost of living/hotels were a lot cheaper. This was in 2009 mind...

    Dilemma: 21 years old, High paying job or focus on the Fastlane?

    Oh I'm sorry... I wasn't worth over 30 mil at 25, so I don't know if my humble level of financial security meets your bar of having 'actually made it'. Having said that I'll offer my opinion on this post anyway and let you decide for yourself whether my opinion counts for anything. I'm not...

    How do you behave when finally rich? (but your friends aren't)

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    It's definitely been an issue. When your friends know you could buy their homes in cash while they're struggling and living week to week chained to mountains of debt. Then the walking on egg shells when talking to them ie. not mentioning your trip around Europe you just got back from, or the...

    Does this industry have too much competition?

    I don't know about over there, but over here they purposely change the textbook for a subject every year or 2 like TurboTT pointed out. Even if it's just an updated edition, it's changed enough so that you need to purchase the 'new' edition in order to do the class. This should be no surprise...

    Who REALLY is the Millionaire?

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with Zen. Joe could resign tomorrow pay off his debt, learn to live a bit more frugally and invest wisely and be in a much better position than Manny, knowing full well that he can return to a well paying job in the future due to his experience/knowledge. People like Joe stay in those...

    The Biggest Thing Since Amazon to Happen To .com

    MARKETING 
    Brilliant. I think you're spot on that this is going to be big. As an Australian consumer who regularly orders items from ebay US sellers due to the fact that I can pick up items for 1/2 the price than I can locally (even when you factor in shipping), this is going to be great for me! So many...

    How is your sex life during your pursuit of millions?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I'll acknowledge that it can be high risk, but not if you take the proper precautions, the implications can be big if something goes wrong, but I'm not going to sacrifice something so enjoyable due to fear of some highly unlikely occurrence. Wear condoms always unless your in a very trusting...

    Fastlaner Strategy: How One broke Aussie Did it

    EXECUTION 
    38 hour max working week, almost impossible to get 'fired' (redundancies come with tax free pay outs), 4 weeks annual leave, 10 days paid personal leave, compulsory superannuation paid by the employer, fairwork legislation that favours the employee if the employer so much as sneezes. We have...

    Fastlaner Strategy: How One broke Aussie Did it

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, I can say from experience that his advice is very relevant to Australia. He started building his wealth as an employee, if you listen to how he views being an employee (as running your own business with a single client) and always looking for opportunity within the business and apply that...
