I always end up going back to my laptop to do any real work. Tablets are great for, as others have mentioned, consuming content. But the PC is "far from over", IMHO.
I like your plan. Let's join forces and disrupt the gardening and bird watching space using cutting edge crowdsourced location aware mobile technology.
I agree - hence the "semi" part. I wouldn't do it on my own, but if somebody local were to want to partner and do it, I'd very seriously consider it. Though right now I'm too busy with a startup, but post-startup, it sounds like quite an appealing option.
You know that saying about "First Impressions"?
If their basic introductory tutorial is showing passwords in clear-text, I can't really justify continuing learning the framework.
Maybe that's harsh or a knee-jerk reaction, but in this day and age it is unacceptable to be showing passwords in clear-text like this IMO (Even if it is only a tutorial).
