GOM Oil Industry Starts Comeback
Following a nearly complete shutdown of the oil and gas business in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, signs indicate a comeback is starting, slow but steady. According to a Reuters report, oil and gas operations recovered slowly on Wednesday, with oil companies struggling to contact all of their workers and assess damage to rigs. Refinery progress was slow but steady. Three of eight refineries that Katrina completely shut have returned either full or partially, including Marathon Petroleum Co. LLC's large 245,000 barrels per day (bpd) plant in Garyville, Louisiana. Offshore, oil and gas production has also been on the rise after Katrina shut nearly all output. Government figures as of Tuesday showed 58 percent of the Gulf's crude production and 41 percent of its gas production remained shut down. The U.S. Coast Guard has said a total of 56 Gulf offshore platforms have been lost or damaged. Reuters reported that natural gas production this year will drop by about 1.5 percent, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Plan to Stop Leaking GOM Oil Well
According to a report from Reuters, U.S. agencies on April 25 approved a plan to use remote-controlled underwater vehicles to seal a leaking oil well beneath a drilling rig that exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico last week.

Wireless Ronin Technologies CEO Discusses Q4 2010 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Second, our gross margin continued to expand during 2010, averaging 47%, which represents a 19 percentage point improvement from 2009. Thirdly, our non-GAAP EBIDTA loss for 2010 of $6.3 million was an improvement of $2 million from the previous year demonstrating our continued efforts to achieve profitability.
And lastly, with the recent capital raise, we ended the year with over $7 million of cash. Our cash position coupled with the access to a $2.5 million credit line from Silicon Valley Bank and zero debt provides a very strong balance sheet and available capital entering 2011.
I will now turn the call over to Darin for more in-depth review of our financials for the fourth quarter and full year of 2010, followed by Terri Sayler's update on sales and marketing. Afterwards, I'll add some additional thoughts prior to opening up the call for Q&A.
Darin McAreaveyThank you, Scott, and good afternoon, everyone. We reported revenue of $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, an 89% increase from $1.5 million then last year's fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2010, we received purchase orders totaling approximately $1.1 million that have not recognized this revenue. The increase in our year-over-year revenue continued to be generated primarily from the success of Chrysler's iShowroom Branded Tower initiative. In November 2010, we received an order for approximately $1 million from Chrysler to outfit an additional 100 dealers with Chrysler's retail Branded Tower program featuring the iShowroom application. This brings the total number of orders we have received from Chrysler to-date to $2.2 million for 200 dealers displaying 800 branded towers.

Install a New Virtual Directory to Default Web Site with WiX
Sometimes the internet is totally awesome and other times it's a complete morass of "how come I can't find anything?" Recently, I needed to build a quick installer that did nothing more than install new virtual directory under the ubiquitous Default Web Site. I thought installing a basic web site would have been a very common task and was sure there were fifty to sixty examples out there in the blogsphere. However, the internet failed me, which has to be the first time in recorded history that's ever happened.
Fortunately, there was enough documentation out there that pointed me in the right direction. What's below is the core .WXS file for an installer that meets the following requirements:
· Verifies that IIS is installed
· Finds the physical path for the Default Web Site
· Installs a specifically named virtual directory under Default Web Site
· Installs the files into a named directory under the Default Web Site physical path
As you can see, the WiX 3.5 code isn't that exciting, but I thought it would be useful for new WiX developers to see and better yet, steal. Here's the download for the entire project.

Is it possible to make the directory dynamically so that there is an edit box on installer where user enters the directory name. That is read to the property and finally to the folder names. I have tried but can get the folder name come right. Instead of property value the property string comes to the name. for example [IIS_DIR]
mhu • September 29, 2011 5:08 AM
Addition to latest comment: meaning that BasicWeb directory would be created dynamically
Yatish • November 14, 2011 10:09 AM
There is a problem with this code when you have more than one website starting with the same name. For Example, I have two websites with name "Website1" and "Website" then even if I select second website "Website", the first website "Website1" will get selected, if "Website1" was created first, i.e. id of "Website1" is less than the id of "Website".

I was so inspired by the Burberry Prorsum Spring 2013 Collection. Initially I couldn't decide which trench coat to make – have you seen the collection? – but finally decided on this lace trench! It took time to complete and I learned quite a bit as I was able to incorporate "new to me" tailoring techniques. It was ALL worth it in the end! I love how it turned out! http://virginiassewblesseddaughter.blogspot.com/2013/04/hunter-lace-trench-burberry-inspired.html

"Tops!! Favourites for everyone."
"Such a nice, clean way to eat vegies! The flavours are so simple and not over powering. A perfect balance!"
"This is great and authentic. I think I need to leave the vegies/noodles in the broth for longer so they absorb more flavour though."
"I can't say enough good things about this dish!!!A fantastic recipe for guests. Everyone loves this. I've made upto 27 at a time! It's good the next day for lunch too! I will never stop singing it's praises."
"The Best... except I stuffed up the sugar on top. Instead of a crack it was a dull munch (my fault)."
"This marinade was very sticky. It tasted like Vegimite. I think they were overcooked. In future I will give them less time in the oven."
"I would have liked it to be more cheesy. Also, I think the breadcrumbs didn't do it any justice. Ok though."
"This was great! I added fried bacon and it was even better."
"This was not bad. I would have liked it to be a bit more creamy than oily. Also, when making it again I'm going to use Crunchy Peanut Butter."
"Very Traditional. It turned out perfectly! The time was well worth it."

|We have a nice mexican resturant here in my city that serves white cheese dip with chips. My wife and I have tried duplicating the dip at home, but are having many problems. We heat the cheese ( sometimes with a little milk or half and half ) and it melts pretty well, but when its left for a few minutes, it gets pretty hard. It will not stay runny. Does anyone have any ideas or any good recipes? We have tried using M. Jack, Asadero, and a few other cheeses, but none get really runny. Thanks for any advice!!

Is Crude about to underperform the ES again? - October 21, 2013 Update
A month ago, a relative strength study showed that crude oil could potentially undergo a period of underperformance against the S&P 500 index. The updated chart shows that the underperformance did indeed start shortly after the blog post (see highlighted area in the chart). As a reminder, the relative strength line enjoyed an upward sloping channel this summer, which came to an end at the end of September. After the break took place, a slight rebound was first experienced with a retest of the lower boundary of the channel before a sharp reversal to the downside. At this point, it seems that the underperformance has additional room to go. Lastly, keep in mind that underperformance does not necessary imply that Crude is declining in price but rather that Crude is underperforming versus the performance of the S&P E-mini.

Can you all tell me what web site you thinks is good to post your pics for PR. I've not done this before and don't have a clue of what the difference between the ones out there.
I use flickr It is in your yahoo.com mail There are others out there to. they are real easy to use. hope this helps
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
I have used "webshots", and also now use Picasa, the google service. Both work well.
------Viking Lily 545
Viking Ruby
Bernina Activa 210
Brother 1034d
I was using flickr and found out there is a limit to how many photos you can post for free (in addition to the monthly upload limits). It is 200. I didn't know that until I was about 20 photos shy of the limit.
I looked at a few other sites and ended up using Picasa. Picasa has a 1,024 MB limit and my camera photos come out at 1 to 3 MB each if I don't change it. I just resize them (I don't think 8x10s are needed of my sewing projectsand at this rate, I'll be able to post over 2000 photos on Picasa.
Thanks to all!!!
I just found Fotki in a top-10 reviews listing. (www.fotki.com) Nice thing is that the security settings have a lot more choices than other sites I looked at. I did not like how other sites allowed sharing by anyone viewing the photos. I could not figure out how to turn that feature off in Photobucket (which seems to auto-fill facebook?) and flickr's security features were too hard for me to find. I did not like webshots interface.
ETA link to the reviews I found: photosharing sites reviews -- Edited on 1/31/11 7:16 PM --
Photobucket - I have a huge stash of photos there.
Also, if I post something on Facebook or my blog first, I just right-click the picture and use the copy image URL command.
Moving the stash...
2012 - 55.5 yards out, 78.25 yards in
I was using flickr also and maxed out. I just signed up for Picasa and I like it alot better. Thanks, maybe now I can blog some now that everything is all connected!
------Relax, don't get your elastic all twisted up in your waistband!
Hell hath no fury for the poor soul that sews an ill-fitting garment! Thank God for Surefitdesigns.com!
Thanks for the info. My PR album is full and I haven't done a review in ages, because I wasn't sure which site to use.
------My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
Just want to add that I consolidated all my blogging activity and related photos around the same email address @ gmail.
So I can log on to Blogger and Picassa with the same username and password. Also helps speed up the blogging.

(CBS) – Apparently the Angels are ready to take a shot at signing Albert Pujols.
Ken Rosenthal of Foxsports has tweeted, " the Angels are pursuing Pujols, with conversations on going."
The asking price on Pujols could be as high as $250 million over 10 years.
The St. Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins and perhaps the Chicago Cubs are also going after the former MVP.
The Angels already have Kendrys Morales and Mark Trumbo at first base.

Adopted out of necessity. Objective-C is garbage, but was adopted out of necessity. At this time, there is no necessity to adopt developing for Windows 8. Developers aren't rushing because the $$$ isn't there yet.

This won't be happening ANYTIME SOON. Again, there's no necessity to move there yet. If there's a push, it'll be from the people already developing HTML5, not from the ones content to keep developing on Eclipse and Xcode. HTML5 still has too many shortcomings to be considered a legitimate alternative.

I never said ease was the same as cost allocation. I states that a developer with a background in C should be able to adapt to all the various object oriented versions of C if that be in .net framework or cocoa. And YES easily pick up PHP too.
And yes if you accept it or not HTML 5 will become a way of life in the next 2 years. Why do you think Adobe abandoned their baby for it?
BTW MSFT is adding what now? close to 500 apps per day?

I'm a web developer and I hang out with a ton of government C & Java developers that work on our military base. I've even tried to get them to help me out with an iPhone app before. They can't do it. The initial learning curve is too steep to do it on the side.
I like HTML5. I use it daily and love the things that it can do. I've written many web apps that use it. With that in mind, I can guarantee you that HTML5 will not have a significantly larger market share over native apps in 2 years than it does now. Native is still the way to go.
- HTML5 wasn't helped when Zuckerburg called it the worst mistake that he's made (trying to create web-based vs. native).
- The discoverability, performance, and general need for connectivity of HTML5 apps is another huge problem.
- Some mobile web browsers still don't support all of the attributes of HTML5.
- Design and speed Issues with mobile vs. desktop HTML5.
- Gaming is sub-par.
Hell, I wish HTML5 WOULD become the standard. It would make it a lot easier on me. I just can't see it yet.

I also find it odd that you're a software developer...arguing FOR HTML5.....and I'm a web developer arguing AGAINST it. Seems like there could be something to that...

I see that you must have missed the part that I'm a web developer and use HTML5 on a daily basis. I have the knowledge to speak from experience when it comes to this topic.
Also, please point to anything in my posts that could even be construed as rumor. I can back up all my points. Nice contribution.

Posted by LurkerIndeed on 12/28 at 10:05 pm to Gr8t8sApologize for what? That's a better conversation than arguing over cherry-picked analyst quotes.
I think there are plenty of types that can do both native and web. There are plenty of one tech, one language types, too, from the boonies to Silicon Valley, and they are on all platforms.
Microsoft's API may be new, but their languages definitely are not, and learning a new API is a lot easier than a new language.

Just read several articles saying that Surface tablets are tanking at both stores. Apparently Staples doesn't carry the iPad so they don't don't consider themselves in the tablet business. They just offer Surface tablets because of Microsoft products already sitting on the shelves. On the other hand there are multiple reports of Best Buy neglecting the Surface totally. One article said that Best Buy's pricing signage in their store read "Microsoft Android" tablet and that other locations demo units aren't working (not implying defects, possibly just not powered on).

This is probably much more an indication of the type of work they've done vs. a transition to new language/platform. Someone who has been writing device drivers in straight C their entire life would probably have learning curve issues doing OO development where user experience is the main focus.
From a business perspective, however, this isn't an issue at all. There is no barrier to quickly find developers for any platform that makes business sense. In addition, if you're properly architecting software, moving between platforms becomes much easier. Many companies, though, over-leverage platform specific services, which makes migration very difficult.

Posted by rickgrimes on 12/31 at 5:14 pm to ForeLSUDevelopers that develop apps for Windows 8 can easily port over the same apps to Windows Phone 8 because they have the same underlying architecture. I think once they start seeing the benefit of that,
I believe both platforms will take off especially Windows Phone which is struggling for traction.

Posted by rickgrimes on 1/11 at 2:18 am to nolanolaWow, this isn't good for Windows RT tablets. I think it is telling when one of your biggest OEM partners says they don't want to spend the time and money to educate the customers on what Windows RT is because it is so confusing.
Samsung won't launch Windows RT tablets in the US, blames confusion and weak demand

TCA Panelists Biographies
In 1968 ABC signed Dick Cavett as the host of a morning talk show, which eventually led ABC to give Cavett his own late-night program opposite The Tonight Show. Cavett was the host of The Dick Cavett Show, which won three Emmys and aired on ABC from 1968 to 1975 and on PBS from 1977 to 1982. He also hosted talk shows on the USA, HBO, and CNBC cable networks. The Dick Cavett Show aired for six seasons on CNBC. He hosted many other shows, including Faces of Japan, a series for PBS, as well as two HBO specials on magic and three HBO series: Time Was, Yesteryear, and Remember When. He appears frequently on Imus in the Morning, HuffPost Live and other interview programs, including Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and The Dave Hill Explosion; he was nominated for his eleventh Emmy Award in 2012 for the HBO comedy special Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett Together Again.
Dick Cavett was born in Kearney, Nebraska, in 1936. Growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cavett won national fame as a trophy-winning teenage magician and was a state champion in gymnastics on the pommel horse. In 1954, he earned a scholarship to Yale University, where he majored in English and drama. At Yale he appeared in numerous radio and stage productions, while spending his summers working at the Oregon and Stratford (Connecticut) Shakespeare Festivals and the Williamstown (Massachusetts) Theatre Festival.
He enjoyed making numerous appearances with his fellow Nebraskan and friend Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, where he started as a joke writer for Jack Paar. Twice the host of Saturday Night Live, he also appeared on two Kraft comedy specials with George Burns and Groucho Marx, and over the years he has made guest appearances on such television programs as The Odd Couple, Cheers, Kate & Allie, Kraft Music Hall, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Carol Burnett Show, The Dean Martin Show, The Bob Hope Show, The Simpsons, All My Children, The Edge of Night, HBO's Bored to Death, and TBS' Are We There Yet?
He is renowned for his success on game shows in their golden age. He was the host of the highly controversial VD Blues in the early '70s on PBS. He has appeared in a dozen feature films, including Beetlejuice and Forrest Gump. More recently, he has appeared on many of the current radio and television interview shows, and is frequently sought for voice-over and emcee work.
On the stage, Cavett made his Broadway debut in 1977 playing the leading role in Otherwise Engaged, a British comedy by Simon Gray. Cavett returned to Broadway in 1988 in the role of the narrator in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. From October 2000 through January of 2002 Cavett appeared as the narrator in the Broadway production of The Rocky Horror Show. He starred in an off-Broadway production of Hellman v. McCarthy in 2014.
In addition to his performing career, Cavett has — in collaboration with Christopher Porterfield — written two books: Cavett (1974) and Eye on Cavett (1983). His latest book, published November 2010, is Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets. A new book, Brief Encounters: Conversations, Magic Moments, and Assorted Hijinks, will come out later in 2014. His work has been widely published in The New Yorker, TV Guide, Vanity Fair, and elsewhere. Cavett has written an online opinion column for the New York Times since 2007.
Cavett lives in New York City and Montauk, New York, with his wife, Martha Rogers, Ph.D., and his adorable shelter dog, Riley.

John Scheinfeld
Emmy®, Grammy® and Writers Guild Award nominee and Telly Award-winner John Scheinfeld is a respected documentary filmmaker who brings a broad spectrum of experiences and interests to pop culture, music, historical and spiritual projects for theatrical exhibition, cable and broadcast television.
Currently in pre-production on a theatrical documentary about jazz legend John Coltrane, Scheinfeld recently finished directing, writing and producing I Hope You Dance: The Power and Spirit of Song, the first theatrical documentary about how one extraordinary song has transformed people's lives. It is set for national release in 2014.
Previously, his film Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?), a wildly entertaining, star-studded documentary about one of the most talented and uncompromising singer-songwriters in pop music history, played in theaters across the country. This film, for which Scheinfeld was nominated for a prestigious Writers Guild Award, and for which USA Today named him one of the Top 100 Pop Culture People of the Year, was subsequently released internationally.

Prior to that, Scheinfeld directed, wrote and produced the theatrical documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon. It was an official selection of the Venice Film Festival, the Telluride Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival and the London Film Festival and was subsequently released in theaters worldwide and on DVD. It was also the recipient of the FOCAL International Award for Best Use of Archival Footage in a Feature/Factual Production.
On the heels of a Grammy® nomination for producing Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of SMiLE, Scheinfeld wrote, produced and directed Electric Youth: Teen Stars in the Music Business, a two-hour special for A&E, for which he received an Emmy® nomination as writer. In addition, with David Leaf, he directed, wrote and produced an eight-hour exploration of the TV shows of Norman Lear for Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Previously, he directed, wrote and produced No Fighting in the War Room… or… Dr. Strangelove and The Nuclear Threat, as well as critically acclaimed documentaries for National Geographic, Tomb of Jesus and In the Name of Heaven.
During his career, Scheinfeld has written, produced or directed numerous documentaries and retrospectives for cable and public television about show business legends such as the Bee Gees, Rosemary Clooney, Nat "King" Cole, Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, the Marx Brothers, Ricky Nelson, Jack Paar, Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra, The Sphinx, Stonehenge, Andy Williams and Jonathan Winters.

We are learning more about a fatal shooting during a robbery at a Mount Vernon gas station.
Family members of 20-year old James Hensley of Rockcastle County say he was shot and killed outside the Shell station, off exit 59, overnight.
Police say Hensley had just robbed the clerk and was on his way out of the gas station when the clerk fired a gun.
They say Hensley used a knife to get away with cash and cigarettes before he was killed.
Officers are not identifying the clerk.
Police say they are still investigating.
Original story:
We have confirmed a suspect was shot and killed during a robbery attempt overnight in Rockcastle County.
It happened at the Shell station off exit 59 in Mount Vernon.
Kentucky State Police say a clerk was the one who pulled the trigger, shooting and killing the suspect.
We still don't know if the suspect got any cash, had made demands, or if the suspect was armed.
We have several crews in Mount Vernon.
We will bring you more information as we get it.

"ditto about the 1/3-1/2 c. water. my kids loved them."
"i agree- so simple and yummy! next time i might to 2 avocados to 1/2 C. ranch. Any ideas how to thin it out? does it seem weird to thin it with a little milk?"
"i have this recipe already but i love it! so simple and tasty!"
"Simple. Tasty. Wonderful."
"I didn't stir or flip these and they turned out beautiful! The easier the better for me!"
"I used cream of chicken and cream of mushroom- I even added an extra can to make it go further. I used canned chicken and regular corn, plus a can of creamed corn. I omitted the sliced mushrooms, green onions, flour tortillas & cheese (as I didn't have any) It was SO easy and fast and I think a foolproof recipe! Lots of ways to throw it together!"
"I love this salad & use this recipe all the time. The only thing I do different is double the mayo and also, if I can still taste the vinegar, add a touch more honey."
"I thought I just "couldn't make cookies" and "wasn't a baker" My husband bugs me all the time for homemade cookies. And every time, my dough wouldn't come together, or (this may sound funny) my dough smelled funny and didn't taste good at all! THIS recipe is AMAZING! Should be renamed "Foolproof perfect chocolate chip cookies!" THANK YOU THANK YOU..."
"This was an okay recipe- I am not going to rate it because I changed it around quite a bit. I subsituted applesauce for the oil, used 3/4 whole wheat flour and 3/4 white, and used 6 egg whites instead of 3 eggs. The one thing I didn't care for was the pineapple chunks, next time I will either leave them out, or used crushed pineapple which I will ..."
"Good Dish. I used Mexican Stewed tomatoes and omitted the sugar.also omitted the tomato sauce. I also used 3 1/2 teas. of taco seasoning instead of the individual seasonings. It would be really really great with chicken, but I am starting to eat vegetarian again and it is great as is!!! "

A 31-year-old teacher is dead and two others are seriously injured after a triple shooting in North York Tuesday morning
After a family member of the victim called 9-1-1, Toronto police officers, the canine unit and paramedics responded to a home on Francine Drive shortly before 9 a.m
The poll found opposition to be strongest in East York while in the old city of Toronto, home to some of the loudest anti-casino voices, opinion is fairly split
Police said the woman was walking on Bayview Avenue when she was struck by a 2012 Lexus RX350, driven by a 54-year-old woman
A bedside dresser was all it took to evacuate a North York townhouse complex around 9:45 a.m. on Monday morning
The search has begun for at least four men who were seen leaving the victim's apartment shortly after the murder
The bodies of two men, killed by gunfire, were discovered Monday afternoon in the stairwell of a North York parking garage
Repaving a driveway anywhere in the city of Toronto will require a $129.45 permit if a new bylaw regulating streets and sidewalks is approved by city council. Residents in the former city of Toronto and North York already pay the fee, but the rest of the city has either been spared or, as in Etobicoke, […]
A North York woman died Friday morning in a violent confrontation with police, prompting the provincial Special Investigations Unit to launch a probe.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Q. Why is your book timely-- what makes it important right now?
A. We're seeing a massive increase in the demand for well-designed, easy-to-use products. At the same time, we're seeing an incredible shortage of designers who can work at the sort of fast-paced, data-driven, innovative startups that are popping up. UX for Lean Startups helps teach founders and entrepreneurs the basics of research, design, and UX so that they can build products people love and companies that can grow.
Q. What information do you hope that readers of your book will walk away with?
A. I hope that everybody who reads the book will be able to learn from their customers and turn that information into products that people will actually buy. I want startups to stop building things people don't want and can't use. This book can help them do that.
Q. What's the most exciting and/or important thing happening in your space?
A. I think the addition of data is the most important change to design that I've seen. By incorporating real data into the design process, we can understand exactly what effect our changes have on our users' behavior. It used to be that design was about opinion and compromise. Now it's about proving that the work we do has a positive impact on the company's bottom line.
Laura's top 5 tips for readers:
1. Talking to users is not as good as listening to users, which is not as good as observing users. The best way to truly understand your user experience is to watch people trying to use your product. Do this as often as possible. It can be painful, but it's always useful.
2. Know that something you believe may be wrong. The most important thing you can do is to identify which of your beliefs are assumptions and validate them. Before you spend a lot of time designing and building a feature, spend a little time validating whether or not the feature will help your business.
3. Quantitative research tells you what. Qualitative research tells you why. Things like A/B testing and funnel analysis (quant) are useful for explaining things like which design caused people to buy more products and where people fell out of the purchase funnel. Things like observational research and usability testing (qual) can tell you why users responded better to a particular design and why users are getting dropping out of the purchase funnel. Use them together for the best results.
4. An MVP is not half of a big product. It's a whole small product. Don't build something crappy and unusable and then claim it's a minimum viable product. Build a good, but limited, version of your product that solves a serious problem for people.
5. Lean Startup is about learning, not landing pages. Whenever you're wondering whether you should use a specific Lean Startup tactic, like a landing page or an MVP or an A/B test, ask yourself what you hope to learn from it and whether there is a cheaper, faster, more effective way to get that learning. Just measuring things doesn't make you lean. The only way to truly be a Lean Startup is to Build, Measure, and Learn (and then Iterate).
Laura has spent 15 years as an engineer and designer. Her goal is to help lean startups learn more about their customers so that they can build better products faster.Her popular design blog, Users Know, teaches product owners exactly what they need to know to do just enough research and design.
The Lean Series, curated by Eric Ries, is a collection of books written by the best people in the field, on topics that matter. The authors dive down into Lean Startup implementation-level details, providing readers with information they can immediately put to use.
We live in an age of unparalleled opportunity for innovation. We're building more products than ever before, but most of them fail—not because we can't complete what we set out to build, but because we waste time, money, and effort building the wrong product.
What we need is a systematic process for quickly vetting product ideas and raising our odds of success. That's the promise of Running Lean.

Lean UX
Lean Analytics
Lean Branding

I will disagree with this part though:
Not being bound by a milspec can be a blessing. Milspec materials, finishes and processes are hardly state of the art these days. A company can build a rifle superior to anything .gov issues precisely because it doesnt have to follow milpsec. Noveske rifles are a good example of that. The only advantage milpsec gives is that once the rifle is accepted by the government you know exactly what youre getting and what to expect.
Definitions of what is the best for a military or civilian (even SD-oriented) shooter do differ. For example precision becomes more and weight becomes less of an issue for a civilian. A civilian will more willingly accept the increased cost and doesnt care about sustained fire capability. So in fact a company aimed to build an ideal AR for civilian will have to deviate from milspec.
I do note that there are companies who surpass milspec materials and perhaps build or testing standards which is a very good thing and I agree with your sentiments. However the part that you quote I am referencing companies who build to a lower quality of parts, build and testing standards. Sorry if that was not clear in my post.

I'd love to type more but I'm on my phone on a bus to my job where my office window overlooks the pentagon.
And I'm chuckling at the folks who use all the mil spec terms to try and justify there purchases.
While I don't necessarily disagree with how contracts may be won or lost, a consumer using some type of standard in which to judge potential quality of their purchase is not a bad thing either.
Also even though Colt holds the TDP, FN also produces certain weapons in this platform as a part of the gov contract. So there is another company and other vendors profiting from the gov contract.
