A couple notes (it looks to me like the submitter is actually the writer, so I'm putting my comments here): Some of the ideas are interesting, but I wonder if the writer of the article has actually tried them out. For one thing, asking chi

"But if these machines had never been invented there would have been no conflict and no frustration generated by them." That is the quote that stands out to me, and what it tells me is that he believes technology itself to be the bad thing,

It's a little discouraging, after considering PG's idea that we may be on the cusp of another production revolution, to consider some of the ideas that you put forward here. I do think, however, that you are right in saying that it is very

This is all supposition, but I'm willing to bet that if such a position is available at Google, it would be necessary to have at least a Master's and preferably a Ph.D., with an emphasis on AI, in order to get such a position. The beauty o

Wow, thanks a lot for the link. As someone who has not fully submitted myself to the blogging craze, I had some trouble seeing what it was all about. After reading this article, I am thoroughly convinced that widespread blogging is a very

I don't think he's asking how long until people stop caring about viral marketing, but how long until people stop caring in general, i.e. about humanity. I think the problem lies not in viral marketing itself, but in Nissan's implementatio

I have always wondered why it's necessary to beat Big Company X. I recall reading some writings by Eric Raymond when he remarked that competition is good for the consumer, and thus anyone who is trying to quell competition (Mic cough sof

"Hold some features back in your first release. Release them next week or next month. This makes your customers think that you are actively developing your product and that there is momentum behind your product." This statement really irks
