One possible reason is what you just pointed out: If you have a 20 minute commute and you could trust your robotic driver to take care of it, that is 20 minutes you could be on your smart phone interacting with google advertising. (personal

I wonder how the boxee.tv team is feeling about this. Must be a little frustrating to work for years putting together such a great product and then see a major player come in like this.

Very insightful! I have long been trying to integrate the "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." way of thinking (this is the Gretzky quote, btw :)), but I never fully reasoned it out all the way: Not only am I passing up the chance,

It seems a lot closer to a ponzi scheme than a pyramid scheme. I do believe if I was funding an IRA/ROTH-IRA with that money I would be much better off. However, we are not funding OURSELVES, we are funding those who came before us. And whi

I agree 100%. This whole thing reminds me of reddit's recent budget issues and how their appeal resulted in a huge boost for them. Just looking at the comments on this blog post make me think that simply including a 'paypal donation' link a

It's pretty insecure. Beyond the obvious "I know both people and their emails and that they use this service" it would be trivial to do company email attacks (IE: all employees use (first-initial)(last-name)@(companyname).com so if I have a

Permissions-based, perhaps? I often feel facebook is a little wiki-ish when I find myself tagged in a new album of photos a friend uploads.

Considering how infrequently I actually interact with other people in my own physical office (especially since we are all very conscious of not breaking each other out of the 'zone') this sounds fantastic. I have tried to motivate usage of

Just sounds like your "other roommate"'s idea of what is fun was in different alignment from theirs. Rather than accept different tastes an attempt was made to coerce them (by use of negative language - "why not just play for fun") into pla

I use groupon and similar services (LivingSocial, some more local sites) constantly. It is a GREAT way to both save money and to discover new things. I feel like the author is being a little overly harsh on Groupon when: A) He admit's he sh

Just to offer a counter-opinion, I went to the site searching for a video to explain it to me and left when I couldn't find it. I did click to start creating a site, but since I didn't have any site I actually wanted to create I felt intimi

You have hit on a way of thinking that, for me, was inspired by reading David Sirlin's masterpiece 'Playing to Win'. The book is available on amazon or for free on his website http://www.sirlin.net/ptw Although the book focuses on competi

I really like this idea. One thing that surprised me when I entered Cognitive Behavior Therapy was the power of affirmations. The old Saturday Night Live 'Stuart Smalley' is an unfortunate social stigma that stopped me from ever taking the
