    Site with 0 seo consideration...

    This has to be the most pathetic example of a site with no seo considerations made. Sadly it's a company I work for, and a clueless artist/designer is in charge of all website stuff. Recently I went to the google places page and it had a url to an old domain that wasn't even live. I popped...

    Google glass

    I got an invite to the google glass developer program to buy a dev kit, but the shit is $1500. You guys think it's worth it to get in on the ground floor? It is Google's brand and market share... I'm trying to get my boss to buy it for me but he's on vacation. You think it's worthwhile if...

    How do these sites get away with this

    If you look for 3d models you come across all kinds of ripped game assets, or even better, forums that allow group-buys and open file sharing, and even better, private torrent sites. What I'm trying to figure out is how to do something similar, without going to jail.... Are they hosted in...

    Working for competing companies

    Do you keep it separate, not discussing specifics of what you do at the other company? Do you pick a favorite and share stuff with them? I haven't signed any nda's, both companies are small and not really formal about rules, but both are doing very similar work. I work full time at one company...
