       | Other than feeling a little icky about an app watching my screen
       | -- not to mention picking up literally everything I do -- my main
       | question from the demo video is whether it's able to intuit the
       | URLs when you're looking at Web pages. There's going to be a fair
       | amount of things it can't just link you to, in which case all it
       | can offer is the screenshot it took. (Which is useful to be sure)

           | (I'm just talking out of my ass but) I'd imagine the
           | screenshots can be compressed pretty efficiently, as the
           | content of any photographic detail like images/picture don't
           | need to be preserved with outstanding quality..

       | You may want to update your logo:

       | The importance of Ansible trademarks
       | 
       | The Ansible trademark and the "A" logo in a shaded circle are our
       | most valuable assets. The value of these trademarks encompass the
       | Ansible Brand. Effective trademark use is more than just a name,
       | it defines the level of quality the customer will receive and it
       | ties a product or service to a corporate image. A trademark may
       | serve as the basis for many of our everyday decisions and
       | choices. The Ansible Brand is about how we treat customers and
       | each other. In order to continue to build a stronger more
       | valuable Brand we must use it in a clear and consistent manner.
       | 
       | The mark consists of the letter "A" in a shaded circle. As of
       | 5/11/15, this was a pending trademark (registration in process).

       | built! Would love a one time payment option though.

       | Very interesting! But the price seems steep for what appears to
       | be only an incremental improvement over using OS tools to search
       | computer contents and you email's search feature to find
       | messages, etc. Unifying it may be a nice convenience, but I'm not
       | convinced per the price. Still, there's a 14 day free trial, so
       | I'll try to prove myself wrong.
