InvisiFlare – What do you think?
http://invisiflare.com
Hey… I'm involved in the Startup Weekend Sunshine Coast, where the aim is to create a company in 54 hours. Our company is centered around the smartphone application –

InvisiFlare which detects normal behavior via the accelerator (phones movement monitor) and phone usage to generate a phone usage profile. An alarm warns a selected authority (spouse / family / emergency service) if no ‘normal’ activity is detected within a specific timeframe by the user. Beyond that the ‘Flare’ sequence of predefine calls and text’s are initiated.

We would really appreciate if you could help spread the word, by liking and sharing and commenting our Facebook:

Show HN: my new project - forbidme.com
http://forbidme.com
I am a CS student on my second year. So far we had only basic JAVA and SQL courses with hardly any practical applications. For the past 7 days or so I have been getting into learning ASP.NET, C# and SQL, amongst other things without any particular goal in mind. I was testing various components (buttons, labels, gridview, panels etc) and playing out with C# and SQL. Overcoming simple things like formatting strings, issuing SQL calls, using the gridview to get the index of the item that was liked etc was quite a blast :)

One of the features that I am planning to implement later on is limiting amount of votes a user can give per submission. I am guessing I will have to save data in a table where schema would look like username, submissionid, votedupordown and parsing those to allow or disallow access to voting functionality.

One more thing I have in mind is integration of either bing or google maps (depending on whichever gives me the most free queries per month) and SignalR to show in realtime submissions as they come up...

What am I making? I have no idea. This could be nothing or it could be something. Source may be released on github when I'm happy with it, right now it's probably rather messy but I do try to keep it neat.

Your thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Ask HN: Individual freelance design business incorporating?
I am running a freelance graphic design business from my dorm room at art school, basically all through email. It was recently suggested that I incorporate as an LLC to protect myself from any legal issues because I was just asked to sign my first copyright waiver and things are generally beginning to actually pick up for me. (clients and momentum)

Any thoughts on incorporating as a single individual? Thoughts on LLC's? Personal experiences with this sort of situation?

I was looking for some live solutions that allow me to transfer a live feed from my mobile to a friends mobile. I could not find any good solution. If anyon e knows abt it, then please do inform.

World's first store for 3D printed goods
http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2010/12/worlds_first_store_for_3d_printed_g.html
.MGX, Materialise’s high end design label for 3D printed furniture and lamps, just opened the world’s first physical store for 3D printed goods. The .MGX Flagship store is in Brussels’ exclusive Sablon district. At the store people can look at and explore .MGX’s lighting and other collections. In the future .MGX will showcase new designs and exhbitions by its designers in the store. You could obtain .MGX items in other design stores world wide previously such as New York’s wonderful Moss but this is the first dedicated .MGX store. It is also the world’s first store dedicated to 3D printed items, we’re guessing it won’t be the last!
