Where does one find development talent for an inchoate project? Like, someone has an idea for a graphical application on a few platforms, what's the best way to find reliable skilled developers outside of a traditional employment opportunity?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heh. So, yes, I tried Google search on "cock" and mostly got birds. "Cock porn" produced some genitalia, some naked women, and a head shot of Misha Collins as Cas, looking perplexed. Yes, really.

I sometimes use Duckduckgo for text searches. The problem is they don't really have the equivalent for scholar or of googles image search. Also their special features are all hidden under submenus of the goodies menu which is under "more" which does not strike me as good interface design. But for plain vanilla text searches they seem to be good.

I would try duckduckgo web search.

Ha! Slow x-post!

Yeah, I don't have any Cas in my cock porn. A lot of penises, no Castiel.
If duckduckgo doesn't do image searching, then it's not that useful to me. About 1/3 of my searching is image searching, not including reverse (that's maybe another 1/4?). I'll check Bing.

OK, this is a curiosity if ever there was one. It's a MacBook Pro, about 2.5 years old. Running 10.6.8. 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 with 8GB of RAM. I have an external monitor hooked up, so I can spread the paperwork across two screens (or have the tools on one screen, and the project on the other). When I boot the sucker, the external screen does not come up. If I unplug it, and plug it back in, it still comes up as power light green (getting signal) but nothing on the screen. If I close the lid to the laptop, and let it go to sleep for 5-10 minutes, then open up the lid, the external monitor pops on like it's always been there. If I close the lid, and try to awake it too soon, neither screen comes on. If I put the machine to sleep via the apple menu, then wake it up, the external screen stays off as described above.
Any clues what might be going on there? Or how to resolve it? It's rather annoying. Not critical or anything. Just annoying.

This seems like the place to ask ... I've never used anything but Windows (you can stamp my Luddite/masochist card now) but I got a $300 Apple gift card.
What do I buy? recommendations? advice? ... envy?

For hardware, $300 will get you an iPod Touch or most of an iPad Mini.
For media, that's a lot of movies/music/TV shows off iTunes!
