That's really not fair. Some of them are competent foreigners that get thrown out when they expose yakuza cronyism. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020365880457663...

I want to start a company that's so damned awesome, that even after I've been retired for decades, I'll line up and wait overnight to buy their latest product.

This interview from Fresh Air on NPR is really excellent: http://www.npr.org/2011/08/12/139383916/tom-wolfe-chroniclin... Wolfe explains why he wore the suit and how it worked in practice when touring around with Kesey. Really great.

Ideally you would have a balance between the two. What put me off in his statement regarding working at Apple (aside from what seems to be some unrealistic expectations) was his statement that he became known for "pervasively direct-manipu

Did he actually expect that the work he created would all be used? Or that if it wasn't used that he would be able to take that work (now property of Apple) and show it to the public? I don't think either positions can be considered reaso

Changing your mind is a sign of intelligence. I can see how it would have made sense to them to separate the companies, and I think in 5 years or so, that will make sense. I hope they still do the console game rental service that was goin

Yes, I'm far more interested in Silk. It's a caching layer over the entire web. That is nuts. I'd love to know more about the internals of it. Do they only grab static files or is their some dynamic content caching? What's the threshol

People think she's unqualified to run HP precisely because of her track record. During her tenure at eBay she made many terrible decisions that did long lasting damage and ultimately weakened the company. Furthermore, she suffocated any i

I really hoped her disastrous run for governor of CA would be the last thing the public ever heard from her. Her hilariously stupid decisions during the acquisition of Skype made me think she would have very little future after eBay. It b

As a user of their service, I found it very frustrating when they removed the ability to add movies to your dvd queue that were not available via their streaming service from within the streaming service interface on the ps3, xbox 360, etc.

"It's better to be a pirate than join the navy." - Steve Jobs When I think of that quote, I usually think about it in regards to wanting to escape a big stupid company and form a startup, but that was not at all the context in which Jobs sa

Tabloids and demagoguery have existed for as long as real journalism. I think it's odd to think that either one is going to replace the other entirely, although it certainly seems that at times one is more prevalent. Every era has its Cre

To be above all suspicion or reproach. The people I knew were pretty hardcore. That being said, they weren't all that intense. I'm sure some of them did vote, but they weren't running the campaign for one of the candidates in their off t

In terms of desktop publishing you might be right, but I think we've seen amazing strides in the realms of audio and video production in the past ten years. It's now possible to buy cameras and audio recording gear for pennies on the dolla

Relevant to what argument? To what use case? What is a gaming PC? What is a gaming laptop? What are the use cases for each? I would liken the gaming PC to an audiophile hi-fi setup, almost no one expects it to fit in a messenger bag and

No. It's not anywhere close to enough. Wozniak might have been the way for the beginning of the PC revolution, but Jobs had the will, and more importantly, he told us all why we wanted it. Why we needed it... There is literally no amoun
