MenuCan anyone suggest alternative applications that provides remote desktop access from a Windows computer to a Mac?
My client is working with a customer and providing some remote receptionist services for them.. She needs to log on remotely to his MAC Computer to access his scheduling and appointment software. I'm a windows user and used to RDP (Remote Desktop). Any suggestions for a MAC alternative to connect to a MAC from a PC?

Teamviewer works across both platforms and is very simple and secure to setup and use.
LogMeIn is the easiest that I have ever seen. BTW, why not just use the Microsoft RDP connector for Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18140)?
I believe LogMeIn is a good software, RealVNC is another option.
i can add to Naeems's good proposals : Timbuktu (http://www.arrisi.com/products/product.asp?id=1027) and GoToMyPC (http://www.gotomypc.com/remote-access/).
Configure carefully these softwares in order to have a strong security : no default or autologin access, very good password, encryption if data is sensitive.
join.me and teamviewer are two I use. Teamviewer if you don't want someone to have to be sitting there to "let you in", they just authorize you and you can log in any time. Great for accessing your own computer while away.
With over a decade of experience in IT, including IT Support, TeamViewer is the winner so far compared to the rest of its' competitors simply because it's way faster & you got all the remote access features needed.
I worked with many start-up IT companies and we had a lot of work with remote desktop access and their alternatives. Here is a list we used in our company, hope it helps you: https://www.g2.com/products/remote-desktop-services/competitors/alternatives

How can I connect to someone who has previously held a specific position at a federal government agency?
I've worked on large civilian and defense projects for the Federal Government while working for two top-tier management/technology consulting firms and one smaller technology consulting firm. Have you considered approaching some of the big management/technology consulting firms that do most of their work with the federal government? I'm thinking about companies like Booz Allen Hamilton, CSC and SAIC. I'm pretty sure these companies have the contacts within the federal government agency you'd like to speak to about your project. The Partners at these companies usually have a pretty good idea what the agencies are looking for, so you may want to think about validating the idea through the companies, leveraging their network of connections. Many of the Partners have come from the Federal government. If the companies see your product as a valuable service, they can then help you get in front of the right people at the federal government agency to speak to about it. I have a pretty strong network within companies like this and would be happy to discuss further on a call. Either way, best of luck to you!Chris RemusCR

Is this idea validation or harmful, good practice or a off on the wrong foot?
Could it be called Sketchy? Yes. Does everyone do it in every industry to get insider info on competitor pricing and presentation.... Pretty much. With that said if any do present as people you would like to work with, then for sure let them know what you were doing, that they made the cut, and that you would be honored to work with them.Nicole PereiraNP

What are some tips to make the physical move to Silicon Valley, to ensure you are able to connect with talent/influencers, and find opportunities?
I moved to SF from Michigan for my startup a few years back, best decision ever. Lots of events, lots of talent and very accessible vc's. Its all quite natural. Just get into the mix. there is literally events all day everyday somewhere in the San Francisco Bay area. Use some of the free ticket services to find good Events. Join an incubator like plug and play tech center. Network! make sure to do the Palo Alto scene as well as the San Francisco scene, very different.Jeffery PalumboJP

How do I expand my network with people who are MORE influential than I am? I'm looking for tips and tricks to do this online (with LinkedIn, etc)
I've done a lot of work in this space (created the new art of conference network: Hashtags to handshakes). Here are a few thoughts for you: -get clear on you goal(s) and the type of people who can help you. -take inventory of what you have to offer(use this acronym Work history, Hobbies, Education, Network) -once you see the people you want to connect with, do the online research to see if you already have something or someone in common(LinkedIn). -read and comment on their content or something in their profile. -Invite them to 15min virtual coffee as an introduction call. (Be in a "how can I be of assistant mindset) -ask them two question during your virtual coffee (1. What are you working on that you're most passionate about? 2. What the biggest challenge?). Once you know someone's challenge you can find ways to be helpful. -Be patient. -let me know if you need more support ;)Mike Ambassador BrunyMA

What is the difference between your team and a network and how should they be treated differently?
In my companies I define a team as my in house leadership (I refer to them in all group communications as the LT or Leadership Team). My Personal Network is the collection of contacts and connections that I use to develop my business (Either through mentorship, advice or social/business connections) Our Company Network is our collective group of contacts and connections shared by the Leadership Team.JoBen BarkeyJB
