As I mentionned in my post, I realize that I was really lucky thanks to Quebec government subsidies and that the financial ramifications are significant. However, you can often have your employer subsidize part(or all) of your tuition.
Ultimately, the value of an MBA is significant but the decision to undertake one is very personal. You have to weigh your own value for education with the cost you'll incur.
This is an awesome project and has fostered some great seed-stage projects. It's a key part of the ecosystem that's putting Montreal on the world stage for tech startups.
I think they can revoke a certificate, but I don't think these certs need to be signed by Apple to be effective. If they aren't, they probably just show a warning.
Set aside the debates on healthcare, the awful reality of this man have to raise funds to keep him alive, or any other political rhetoric.
Most of us, even the most starving bootstrapper of the bunch, has enough change in his/her pocket to make an impact on a real human life.
Let's not brag about what we donated, or how much, or if we donated at all. But please everyone, let's reach out for someone who needs us like every good human should.
Ridejoy looks great, but Canadians out there should really take a look at LiveRides (http://liverides.com)
Their app does what Ridejoy does and more - it even lets you securely communicate and track where a driver is when he/she is on his/her way to pick you up.
I'm really glad to see people in this space. I'm fed up of big oil and driving my car alone. Driving should be a social experience with friendly people that doesn't hurt the planet needlessly.
Ridejoy has hundreds of active rides in Canada (especially around Vancouver, but also Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Ottawa) and three Canadian cities are in the Popular Destinations section of our iPhone app.
We're hiring a full-time iOS developer who wants to help bring visibility, discoverability and monetization to the millions of blogs and online publishers across the web by creating awesome mobile/tablet app experiences for them.
Hey guys, great use of Pieceable to innovate the app feedback piece. I like your templates too!
How are you guarding against other upstarts in this space like ooomf (http://ooomf.com) that are also bringing great design to mobile app landing pages (where launchrock et. al. don't shine as much?)
Also, any hope to solve the app preview problem in a way that doesn't use Flash so that it can run on Mobile Safarai?
Thanks. We'd love to have the demos not require Flash but it is how Pieceable works. With the team moving to Facebook, we have a few options to explore about the future of the tech.
Thanks for pointing out ooomf. I hadn't seen them before. I like to think every new service in this space is great validation for us. I think there is enough room in this niche for several players to exist to cater to different needs.
