    Converting iOS & Android Apps to Blackberry

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Well ... if the United States were the only pond I was fishing in, I might agree. But Blackberry is a Canadian company ... and still commands a fair amount of market share up there. Canadians are a fairly patriotic bunch. I just did a poll In Canada among my target audience and just under 40...

    Converting iOS & Android Apps to Blackberry

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Has anyone here tried to take an iOS or Android app and make it available to Blackberry users? I intend to incorporate iOS and Android apps for my niche dating site ... apps compatible with my open-source software have already been developed ... all I need to do (at this point) is tailor the...

    Licensing agreement and lawyers

    How much should it cost ...? Up to you. Always pay by the hour. Never pay a flat fee (for anything). That's MY golden rule. (But watch those hours!) Hourly lawyers ... might overcharge ... but flat fee lawyers ... consistently under-perform. Given the choice of two evils ... give me...

    Licensing agreement and lawyers

    I suppose it boils down to cost-benefit analysis (in my opinion). Asking "any" lawyer review it ... well ... I don't see much the point in that. My guess is that "most" lawyers wouldn't know "what" to look for or "what" to do. If you were going to go that route, you would want to take it to...

    Him: "When I was a kid ... I rarely got sick. Because I ate healthy food. The Akai Berry is a super healthy food." Me: "Is that right ...? Just curious ... were you exposed to the sun when you were a kid too?" Him: "Yes. Why ...? Me: "Oh ... never mind." Him: "So all you have to do is buy...

    Litespeed Web Server VPS

    MARKETING 
    Can't say I know much about cars (other than I put gas in it, turn the key, and it moves) ... so I am not sure I understand the metaphor ... so are you saying LiteSpeed is a good thing ... or a bad thing? Could you enlighten me?

    Litespeed Web Server VPS

    MARKETING 
    Has anyone here used Litespeed Web Server VPS ...? Offered as a potential add-on ... not sure if I sure use it. Looks like it was real popular back in 2006 (6th most popular we server in the world) but since then its use has dropped off significantly (down to 26th in 2009) (and in 2013: Just...

    Love and Entrepreneurship - Can it work?

    PEOPLE 
    Life is best enjoyed when shared with people you love ... or, at the very least, that is my perspective. Rather than asking her to "understand" and "not complain" ... Why not do the entreprenurial thing ... and find a solution? Apply the 80/20 rule ... delegate ... automate ... eliminate ...

    Dane Maxwell AMA-- SaaS, Membership Sites, The Foundation

    NOTABLE! SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I have several USPs addressing (numerous) unmet needs in my niche. Am I guarded about openly discussing them? Absolutely. They will not be USPs forever. At some point in time I imagine my competitors will adapt and adopt at least some of my USPs. So until my site launches, in prudent...

    Dane Maxwell AMA-- SaaS, Membership Sites, The Foundation

    NOTABLE! SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the AMA, Dane. Very enjoyable and insightful. I estimate that I about a month away from launching a niche dating site (assuming my programmer completes the last set of code modifications on time). My dating site remedies several (heretofore unmet) pain points in the niche ... some...

    Well ... I'm also a swinger ... so perhaps its just that my attitudes about sex are very different than most.

    gold digger prank (can anyone with lambo confirm? lol)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Prostitution, going car to car, is slowlane -- no magnitude. And its high risk. I certainly would advise against that. The same, however, cannot be said of marrying wealth. That's Fastlane. I care nothing about the moral sentiments of the majority. If you can F*ck your way to the...

    gold digger prank (can anyone with lambo confirm? lol)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Hey MJ ... did I just give you a new chapter for book number 2? You could give all sorts of success stories about women who blew their way to the top ... and succeeded. Anna Nicole Smith didn't make her millions with a 401 k plan either. Maybe even a few examples of successful men (magnitude...

    gold digger prank (can anyone with lambo confirm? lol)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Someone asked me why I would encourage my daughter "to be a glorified sex object to the highest bidder. I'm sure the Bentley he will buy her will provide a fulfill and meaningful life for her ... Why not encourage your daughter to build a business instead, or anything that doesn't equate a...

    gold digger prank (can anyone with lambo confirm? lol)

    What ... you I think she's going to agree to a pre nup where you keep everything she gets nothing? Doubt it. [removed by mod] Dont get me wrong ... I'm a big fan of prenups ... but don't mistake that to mean its a one-sided document. If you want to marry her ... she's going to get a golden...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What happens if the well runs dry? I don't know ... Divorce (perhaps). Along with a big fat alimony check. But then again ... what happens if the well doesn't run dry ...? A damn good standard of living ... that's what. Say whatever you will ... call them every name in the book ... but...

    gold digger prank (can anyone with lambo confirm? lol)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Entertaining ... but ... what's wrong with digging for gold? Sounds Fastlane to me. In fact ... if I had a daughter ... I'd teach her to do it. And I'd be disappointed if she didn't. The "majority" thinks gold digging is "wrong" ... but what did Mark Twain say about the majority ...? Yep...

    Freelance Web Developer causing massive HEADACHE!!

    After I (first) read the Four Hour Workweek, I immediately hired an Indian V.A. intending to outsource as many tasks as possible. This was long before I read TMF and my focus (then) was on my (trade time for money) law practice. The outsourcing was a disaster. The language and communication...

    Very nice HTML post, 3Things ... Had I not figured out how to construct it in Word I would have likely used your HTML. I guess what I like about making the FAQ is Word is that making format modifications is user friendly once you have the word/notepad routine down. But ... I DID swipe and...
