The idea is exciting, but the execution is awful.

Websites samples not working on Chrome 19. Had to reload 4 - 5 times. When they worked, it was a slideshow on my (relatively) new computer. Yipes-stripes.

Well, good luck next week! :D My team has been debating about building something similar for years. I just want it to exist!

Sounds awesome. Any samples online?

After using a few of these services, I realize why they're so useless: you never have a flow. You're interacting with a changing team, with huge time delays (hours in reality) in between request and response. In my experience it would be be

People's nightmares are relative. Nightmares can often be about trivial things gone awry. Promising a client concepts, then immediately asking for an extended time, only to learn that you may have to ask again can be considered a nightmare,

I like the idea of a world that dynamically responds to you better. Are you on a speedy networked desktop? You get the bells and whistles version. Are you own a tablet with less bandwidth? We note this, and load the appropriate version. Are

The two biggest of Getty's "competitors" are owned by Getty (iStock and StockExchange). Getty makes its money on both ends. They're also slowly rising the purchase prices for both user submission sites to be around $70/photo average compare

Reality doesn't really match up with this argument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MMORPGs It seems that saying one out of ten MMOs do well would be generous.

Love this video! The problem with this approach is if the market responds negatively. I feel this way right now with Coda 2, as it feels over designed and targeted at an odd-case web developer. I truly hope I'm wrong with Coda 2. But the po

It isn't a question of cost, it is a question of comfort. When you get an iPad you realize laptops have instantly become less useful. iPads fit into a tiny bag, they have crazy battery life, and they can do many things as well as a desktop.

Waving your hands in front of your computer is goofy too. :) Gloves would give significantly greater control, flexibility, and functionality. Three examples: 1) Control: Since the computer is aware of my digits significantly more complex mo

Why would "a more useful critique" be looking at pro-LEAP applications? Is it because this what you want to hear? LEAP is a bad idea, not bad due to software, bad due to the constraints of human beings. You're literally arguing a logical fa

I'm happy that the team took their passion to execute one something so effectively. But not all ideas are good. It violates Fitt's law by placing all user interaction within a vertical band next to your computer. This is very uncomfortable

You're completely correct. I'm focused on the consumer, because I feel Microsoft wins enterprise by default. Who is the competition? Open source? I've been laughed out of Fortune 50 meetings for suggesting it. Small to Medium size software

I completely agree! The rumor I'd heard was that Courier was killed because independent teams created the device components. When put together it wasn't refined enough to pass review. Plus, they didn't see tablets as a viable market...again

"While Microsoft is no disruptive force in tech today, the truth is that it has never been." This is so false it is painful for me to read. I'm embarrassed for the author. "The company's core competency is a process it uses for entering and

This may be one of my favorite posts on SVN for the sheer guts of it. "We had many tire kickers. We want X." I love how open and direct 37signals culture is. Very inspiring.

If you're focused on the inequalities of a business' income structure, you'll surely be disappointed by them all.

So, we should hire people who are so good they have spelling mistakes in their holiest-of-holy document, don't fit in with your core company culture (ninja or not), and hold back on research because it might bias your delicate sensibilities

Woz is famous because he worked with a team. Alone Woz couldn't have had the sense to sell blue boxes, the gumption to complete Breakout in a crunch, or build a computer that worked with a color TV, or design the elegant Apple II. He would
