I agree, definitely not a startup. Four years of profitable business, quickly growing, and no outside money.
I've had a browse on ResearchNation and I find it confusing. I read your FAQ's page and it was still hard to understand the use-cases.

Is it the reviews of the reports that your selling? I can't imagine a passionate user base for either side of the transaction - and with social sites you need one group of people to drive the site forward (either supply or demand)

What kind of reviews are they meant to be? Voicing their own opinion or rating the report?

As for the hate calls from the publishers, was it nonsense ranting or were they very specific about why they were angry? Seems you touched a nerve that maybe worth listening to. It's passionate feedback all the same!

If you're convinced you need to pivot, go towards a marketplace you are interested & excited in & would use yourselves frequently.

Airbnb style companies sell things people have to 'spare'. e.g space to crash on the floor, gig tickets, hours for errands, space in the car on a long journey.

Find a demand and then build a system based on housing the supply.

There are so many potential routes. It all depends on what you're interested in.

Perhaps something along the lines of people selling spare seats at their dinner table (is that a bit weird?)

i.e we're having spaghetti thursday - 2 free spaces $10 each.

Other potential ideas

1. Flash sale on discount meals available at restaurants.
2. Last minute surplus seating at sports events, theatres & movies.
3. Holidays, travel tickets that people want to sell,

Anything at the crossroads of convenience and big savings is sure to be a winner.

Let us know what you decide upon!
I've actually seen a few favorable (albeit not "rave") reviews[1].

Current consensus seems to be that WinMo is a promising foundation that lacks apps, customizability and polish (the browser is slow).

It actually is a good thing that they specify they are in charge of the os releases and what hardware needs used. Have you seen how slow some carriers are to release android updates or how slow the actual devices run because they chose to use the cheapest minimum spec hardware they could find to get production costs down and make a larger profit? It's ridiculous. Yes some people like to root their phones and put whatever they want on them, but not everyone(definitely not the majority).

Now I can't claim to know to what degree Microsoft will specify hardware, but I would hope if they went through the trouble of setting up that restriction that they would be smart about it.
I don't think that OSF had anything special at all. At the time, it looked like HP and DEC (especially DEC) trying to keep Sun and AT&T from steamrollering everything else. Bear in mind that in the mid-to-late 90s, there were a bunch of commercial Unix variants (HP-UX, Mips, SGI, DG-UX, Convergent, Pyramid, Dynix, DEC, Mt Xinu, etc etc). Each of them was holding on by their fingernails, more or less. The OSF was self-appointed to anoint the successor to BSD that was supposed to become The Unix next, as opposed to letting AT&T and Sun figure that out. The more cynical also believed that DEC was sowing chaos to give itself more time to either conquer the world with VMS, or figure out what to follow-up VMS with.
In Defense of Skeuomorphs
Netflix in the US is great for full seasons of TV shows. Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men and a bunch of others. It's also decent for classic movies and documentaries. I wouldn't expect to get the latest hollywood releases or you'll be disappointed. I'd guess that licensing in the UK is totally different and their library my reflect that. Sorry that media companies are dicks about viewing content in different regions.

You're missing the point. The target demographic for this article is someone who is not a computer scientist. He's someone who doesn't have time to deal with thread libraries and low-level matrix operations. He just needs to crunch his data quickly so that he can publish his valuable research. This person reads the same blog articles that computer scientists do, and comes to the conclusion that "I should learn C++ for my number crunching". That's simply not the case; you can use C++ to get good performance, but the amount of knowledge you need to acquire to do so is an entire field. You aren't going to be the world's best human genome researcher and C++ programmer; the time spent learning C++ could have been used to do research.

The idea is: if you use a tool that lets you describe your problem at a high level and let the computer worry about how to do the calculation efficiently, you'll beat your hand-rolled C++ every time. And, there is now the possibility of hiring a "Real Programmer" to hack your math library (Octave, Mathematica, Python + numpy, whatever), allowing you to delegate work. If every calculation was a brand new C++ program, you'd only be able to improve your application's performance by hacking on your application. Separating the problem description and the solution description allows the solution-finding code to be optimized without knowledge of the specific problem.

I think this approach scales to the work that practicing programmers, too. We don't see it a lot because writing tools is time consuming and we all have deadlines; so we pic k the "worse is better" solution and hard-code our applications in what amounts to glorified machine code.

Just because a practice is common doesn't mean it's a good idea.
tv is not only watchable here, it's fantastically good quality programming.
These seem like pretty obvious details, right? I've never understood why someone wants to sit around in pajamas all day or waste time playing games/watching tv all day (don't get me wrong, I love doing those things, but I'd much rather get my work out of the way and then hang out). Just because working from home is an option, doesn't mean you're suited for the gig. A lot of people derive structure for their day from the physical act of going to and being at work. There needn't be any "hacks" or "fixes," you'll know almost immediately whether or not the lifestyle is appropriate for your working situation.
Yes, but it would be just as easy to write an "assembly compiler" that did the same optimizations on your program text. C provides a layer above the machine that acts as we imagine a machine to work; the compiler adjusts our expectation to reality.

In the end, C has branching and memory access, and that's basically what our computers have too. The rest is details.

I tend to use Netflix more as a cable substitute with TV shows than a full movie library. The number of full backlogs of great shows in the U.S. at least (30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Party Down, Breaking Bad, etc.) for 8/month vs. 100/month for cable is an astounding savings for me personally. The movie selection is meh, but I can live with that for what I'm paying.

> ..."arriving" on time, eating lunch on a rigid schedule, shaving, brushing, and so on seems pointless at first.

It did seem pointless to me at first. And then I tried it for a while and learned how to have a healthy separation between work and the rest of my life at home. And now I realize that most of these things are pointless for me when I work at home.
Sort of true. In C99, you can:

void f(int len){
int array[len];
printf("sizeof len: %zu\n", sizeof(array));
}

Yes, I was weirded out when I saw this for the first time. But C does in fact have arrays; they're just not very good arrays.

15 top web design and development trends for 2012
• Lack of codec support without hoop jumping (Boxee has solved this)

• Lack of content (Apple and Amazon are in the process of fixing this, but Ubuntu won't have the weight to get Big Content on board)

• Linux hardware is a pain to hook up to HDTVs

• Unity interface is poorly suited for 10-ft interaction

• Existing players (Apple TV, XBox 360, Boxee, etc. -- even Google TV!) are more mature and have had time to strike content deals

In short, too little, too late. IMHO, they should concentrate in stopping the user bleed from their desktop distro.

I don't have the ability to downvote, but your reply completely missed my point. My point was, you "past experience of the brand" doesn't mean anything here, since there is no past of Windows Phone 7. It may be named number 7, but it's brand new. There was nothing like it before. The fact that you keep comparing it to Windows Mobile shows your ignorance. We as techies should have the ability to give new technology the benefit of the doubt, especially when every reviewer and user is giving it rave reviews. The only people complaining about it are those who have never used it

Obvious, but easier said than done. Like the author states, it's a slippery slope into the condition described by the Oatmeal: http://s3.amazonaws.com/theoatmeal-img/comics/working_home/6....

I work from home, and it's amazing how effective it is to simply "dress up" at 8am and "dress down" at 5pm. If I didn't do this, it's easy to fall into the trap of starting at 8am in your underwear and spreading out 8 hrs of work all the way till 11pm. It's fine when you're single, but a recipe for disaster if you are in a relationship.

Problem is, WebOS (much like WP7) was actually better than any other mobile OS at the time. It's lack of success in the market wasn't due to not having a superior OS, and it also meant the competition was free to implement all the best features before WebOS could capitalize on them.
I have worked from home for the past 2.5 years. The freedom is great, but the downside is that I found I work a lot more. There just ends up being so little separation between work and home that is all just blends into the same thing.

Now that I have done years in an office and out, I think the best solution for me is an office job that has flexibility to show up in a time window (been 8am and 10am for example) and the option to work from home when needed.
