Continued from the previous post showing pictures of Praized, Mobivox, Watchmojo, and also Hugh McGuire’s setup
This is Fred Ngo’s work desk. Fred Ngo is CTO at Standoutjobs. Interestingly, almost all of them use macbook pros, and you can also notice that they heavily rely on basecamp/campfire for tech development.
Karabunga’s founder is Carl Mercier. Their main product is Defensio, an (excellent) anti-spam system that can be integrated into blogs and social media websites, and also in web applications via an API. While they are not technically speaking in MontrĂ©al, they are very active here and organizes for instance every month montrealonrails. It goes without saying, but karabunga is also a mac web dev shop.

RollAName is a social networking website started by David Nadezhdin, Vasily Klimko, who wanted to make a website that would get you a better presence online. It plays well with search engines.
