Ed really wasn't working but just reading HN. He is one of those guys who is always busy but doesnt do anything. The problem is Ed's boss thinks that he is actually good. The problem is not just with Ed though, his boss should have had Sue on call before get Ed on. Sue is lazy too. This is a company that is not getting anywhere. :)

Is this your slick way to see if your startup idea is worth something? :)
Problem: I do care about my home media which is wiped out if my HDD crashes and of course I'm not able to access them in all my devices.
Proposed solutions:
1) I'm willing to pay a monthly fee only if it is a cloud storage which can be accessed on all devices. I'm not going to pay a monthly fee if am going to store my media in my own HDD and all you provide is a service to access them.
2) One time payment for an app that lets me access my media across all platforms iPhone, android, iPad (esp), mac, windows, PS3, Xbox etc.
There 2 problems here, reliable storage and cross platform accessibility. I think you are suggesting 2 HDDs raided for reliability, which is probably the cheapest solution.
Hah, I need to figure out my own working solution before I claim to solve others'.
1) yes
2) yes
Now where's the company that does that for me?
2 2 TB HDD RAID is probably what I'm looking at right now, with some kind of unlimited cloud backup service just backing up the whole thing, and some way to transfer media easily to the hard drives
I havent looked at your previous version but here are my thoughts for improvement:
Login Register page resets all the fields if something is wrong in the form
Login and Create Free account buttons flow over the background image in Chrome
The menu buttons are not very clear... Keeping it simple with not a lot of graphics will server better
On the landing page the bottom half font is not pretty try using a different font.
Video Demo, About, Blog links are out of place... try bottom left
Try browser testing on different browsers
Overall text fonts can be improved
Default user image broken.
The map navigation speed is good
Actually the website looks better in IE, all the comments above are for chrome (my default).. I would suggest you guys use Reset.css so that browser specific UI settings are cleared.
I'm a self taught web developer and the way I learnt is by just start coding. Write mini applications, like login and sign up. Build it like a Lego, put small pieces together to build your structure. You will be better off keeping the UI design to the last.
One of my hard learnt lessons is that web applications has to be designed from back to front and not the other way around.
Understand how CSS works, theme templates are great and are cheap to buy (themeforrest) but if you didnt know how to manipulate the CSS then you will be left with a lot of frustration.
Earphones falling out of my ears is definitely a problem, but this is a high tech (probably one of the best) solution for a simple problem.
It is a hard sell if my ear phones cost less than the adapter.
As far as your website is concerned, try showing some more pictures of these custom fits vs the regular ones.
As I understand the home "kits" help you get the impression of my ears and using that you will build my custom fits. Shouldn't the home "fit" by free or included in my adapter's price?
Just my thoughts and feedback. I would buy one of these if they were more affordable. :)
