Any freelancers/consultants out there? How do you deal with paying quarterly estimated taxes? I could pay an accountant but it seems a bit expensive for something that should be pretty simple.

My buddy and I built this to see how we will be affected by all of the new tax rules. We think that the way Americans plan and file their taxes is too painful and completely broken. This first product makes sure that you aren't surprised by a bigger tax bill next year and suggests ways on how to lower your taxes. More to come soon!

We would love your feedback. Is this something that you would use?

I played around with the new Nokia Lumia 920 today and was actually impressed with Windows Phone 8. It was fast, the UI was unique but pretty simple to learn, and surprisingly the actual phone was solid. What shocked me the most was the price point of $99.

How are developers thinking about the Win 8 platform? Are you waiting to see if it gains any traction with consumers? Are you building apps now because it is much easier to be found?

With all the patent issues and now licensing costs of Android, I have a feeling hardware manufacturers are going to begin to move to Win 8. Combine that with Microsoft's deep pockets and the other aspects of the ecosystem that they have built (XBox, Surface, etc.), I think they will be a player in one or two years, but mostly at the expense of Android.
