Well I think it's important that people bring these ideas they have to fruition. Because you don't know what is going to be completely disruptive going forward. Look at Twilio. Anyone following their entrepreneurial dreams is to be commended in my book.

Photos and likes make Facebook worth it for me.

Thanks I have a friend whose site is down from this and this helps shed some light on it.

Stripe?

Sometimes this is a good opportunity to invest BUT in this case I would steer clear. I think their business model is questionable which brings into question their profitability. If they continue losing money, they could burn through their book value in no time.

Well I think many of these startup companies are looking for "rockstar", "ninja" code warriors..whatever that means. I think they are trying to attract the most promising talent in the next generation of up and coming programmers. They try to search these candidates out by making a github profile (or some other open source contribution) mandatory.

I think experience does matter though. Even a talented young programmer can get into big trouble by trying to do cute and clever things. They may not have the experience to know that generic database design is generally a really horrible idea, etc.

meanwhile your friend is scratching his balls and saying ding tots are done...

Did you even talk price? It may have been worth your while...

I don't see Microsoft's name or logo anywhere in the outlook.com interface. I do see Google in Gmail however...

This is a refreshing take on email, I have been growing tired of the sluggishness of Gmail myself. I also like the way the ads look on the right and when you hover you see an image of the product. I have always hated the way Google ads look.

They can't be that crazy, if they pulled that bot scam on just one customer, they risk alienating their entire user base. How could they possibly think they could get away with something like that? It doesn't add up.

This is just a case of a bad business person failing to protect themselves. If the idea is that revolutionary and important to your business, then get several patents on the idea and then be ready to defend those patents against everyone.

This is why I'm not a fan of API's to begin with. It's just a proving ground for the company hosting the API to troll the best ideas.

Looked pretty cool but it slowed down my work computer so bad that it practically crashed it.

And this box is an i7 with 10GB of memory...

Very nice, does the license allow this to be used in a commercial project?

Facebook couldn't be that pathetic...

Don't be stupid Google, if this guy is doing something this popular, it's going to continue happening whether you take him down or not. Acquire the little bastard and then figure out how to make it legal.

It was working fine around 2am CST in the US.
