Wouldn't this be better suited to project from a second room behind a screen if you have a house with that setup. You could cut down on the noise and the extra light from the ugly classroom projector. Not many people have the luxury of a projector room, but my next house will if I have anything to say about it.
"Two, why not just filter yelp email into a separate folder and look at it later?"
You can do it... I can do it... but probably 3/4 of everyone you and I know wouldn't have the first clue how to set that up. To succeed, this needs to appeal to the masses.
Here's my advice: Move the communication mechanism from the inbox to somewhere else... perhaps a tab in an instant messaging app, or perhaps a stand-alone tray app itself. Yelp messages showing up in your inbox will be resented... but if an icon were to show up in my taskbar, I might consider clicking on it to see what a friend needs. Bottom line, I want to respond to "Yelps" on my schedule... not on theirs... and a message at the top of my inbox is too intrusive for me to find the service appealing.
First of all... Norton IS back with O&A. Second of all... the extra $2/month is actually protection. Ya see, contrary to how it is now... the FCC probably will have influence over Sirius and XM one day. By throwing an extra $2/month into the deal, it turns into a subscription service... similar to Pay-Per-View-Porn, or the Playboy channel on XM. They can't block that the same way they could "mainstream satellite radio" once it becomes ubiquitous.

Ask the person what their favorite Pokemon character is. The kid will give you an answer and maybe even draw you a picture. The adult will give you a blank stare.

It's gotta hit version 3.0 before it'll topple Google.
Don't hate the player ... hate the game!
Can't you read? It says iPod right there in the subject line.
Consider it a rare opportunity to see what happens beyond the walls of your parents' basement.
My favorite line from the cable rate hike letter is:
"We promise you that you will not get another rate hike for another year."
Actually they're promising that they'll raise my rates again exactly one year from now!

Too bad they just decided to revoke free email for their alumni ... instead charging $15/year for basic email service.

Why don't they just brand these things as "coffins" and save a step?

Why not do what the RIAA does ... and sue the people receiving the spam? Seems like that'd fix the problem ... right? Right?
yes ... as long as that orbital outpost is an asteroid headed towards earth.
