How do you know if your backups are good? Better to test a restore when everything is still working fine rather than waiting until you really need it and then finding out that your backups are broken.

I assume you're meaning the message on the first slide? Hit the right arrow on your keyboard.

I think so. Mariott made a request last year asking for permission to block "rogue" access points from inside their hotels. This is the response.

My interpretation of this was that it was more of a reminder to hotels and convention centres that they're not exempt from the existing regulation. If they're found to be in breach of existing regulations then they will be fined.

I have a 1TB SSD in my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina and System Information is reporting that it has a 4x link. Even with the additional overhead of having FileVault enabled I still see read/write performance in the region of 1000-1100 MB/s.

iOS 8 has timelapse, implemented as a series of photos taken a few seconds apart and then stitched together. This appears to be a video stream that is then smoothed and then (optionally) sped up.

I have 2 invites left, if anyone wants one. Email is in my profile.

Edit: both gone

The Ghost Foundation is a UK organisation and I can assure you that USD is not the default currency here. If they're willing to make the effort to accept USD, I'm sure there are plenty of bloggers able to make the effort to pay using it.

Regardless, USD is the de facto standard for SAAS payments (whether this is good or bad is a discussion for another time). If you can't pay in USD then you'll find a substantial proportion of services unavailable to you.

Ghost and WordPress offer hosted blogs as well as source code. It's no longer necessary to worry about servers or FTP details just to get up and running. Creating a blog is now as easy as filling out a form on a website and clicking submit.

Your only other USP appears to be the ability to parse themes designed for a different engine. Is this going to be enough to distinguish Ospari from your competitors? Is it feasible for someone to write a WordPress plugin that achieves the same thing?

While not quite the same as having FTP access Ghost do offer hosted blogs from only $5 per month. Anyone that can set up a WordPress.com blog should find Ghost just as easy.

If you're referring to the browser screenshot I think it's Opera (which is now based on Chromium) rather than Firefox. That will at least explain some of the similarities.

Completely off topic, but if you were going for the coffee vibe it really should be "ProjectEspresso". As a coffee fan, a small part of me dies every time I hear someone order an "expresso".
