    Server specification for music upload site

    All comes back to how many tracks you think will be listened to each day - obviously if you have 240 tracks listened to in a day that is very unlikely to be 10 every hour, there will be peaks in it depending on your user base. For general web traffic they would be between 8-9AM (when people get...

    Server specification for music upload site

    Hi, I'm a little confused, you say there won't be any downloads but users will be reviewing the tracks - that's going to require them to listen to the track surely? Which involves a download - even if you're playing it inside an HTML media object or Flash player etc. it's still effectively a...

    I have a idea that will make companies like Nike fall heads over heel...

    2nd and 4th links on that page should do you :)

    This is why I said you need to deal carefully with outsourced manufacturing and you really need to be out there, or have someone out there due to these quality issues. In terms of searching patents: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/patent/p-os/p-find.htm From a personal point of view, I think it's...

    SEO & Bull$hit

    I think you've missed the point, they've done specifically what they told people they weren't going to do, which was mass link/article spinning. They got those customers because they were a previously trusted member with long standing that had been involved in the industry.

    Considering a Mac - how good are they really?

    Macs may ask for permission - but if the hole is inside something that already has permission, as was the case here with Java then it's not going to mean anything. In this instance the user just had to visit a website, nothing else, no downloads, nothing to click.

    Yup, you have to remember a patent is only as strong as the bank balance defending it :) Dyson found that out - when someone started infringing his patents he had to sell the rights to make/flog his cleaners in Asia I think it was, to be able to afford the legal fees to defend the patents.

    Groupon business idea

    I'd say it was fairly standard, there was an article (I forget where) where someone did some digging in to some of the deals on groupon and found that a lot of them were on domains registered just days before and the prices being charged were a lot higher than elsewhere on the net. I recall...

    Considering a Mac - how good are they really?

    True, but then there are many more Windows PCs out there so even if 1% of Windows machines and 5% of Macs were infected the raw number would be much higher for Windows still. This also explains the huge number of exploits - you go for maximum penetration when you're writing something like this...

    Server specification for music upload site

    Hi, Apologies, I was making an assumption on the downloads. Generally when it comes to hosting, the upload/download speeds are the same, it's all symmetrical - although for the person doing the uploading from DSL/Cable etc. that is most likely not the case. In terms of storage, if it is...

    Considering a Mac - how good are they really?

    Tell that to the 600,000+ people infected with a trojan right now because apple took 8 weeks to update Java ;) Most of those issues aren't PC specific and you're not comparing apples to apples. Of course a CPU that's lower power is going to not need the fans on full power as much - same as...

    I have a idea that will make companies like Nike fall heads over heel...

    Hi, You can do a search yourself for Patents. Also speak to your local council, enterprise partnership etc. as there are often free sessions on such things where someone will discuss your idea confidentially with you, if it is patentable and run a basic set of searches - as they'll have more...

    Server specification for music upload site

    Hi, First things first, you need to be realistic. We tend to find that most people over-estimate how popular their new venture will be by at least a factor of 10, if not 100. It's far better to start off smaller, keep your cash flow free and grow later rather than to spend a boatload of money...
