I think the author makes a great point. I pursue this concept in what I call "elegant design". What this means to me is taking as much functionality as possible and putting it into a simple to understand package. There is a huge difference

I really think that Spotify is going to put Apple into a tough spot. iTunes is fairly useful, but there are a lot of difficulties I have with it. A trend is emerging where Apple is starting to be harped at for their closed policies by more

I think that the hypothesis proposed in this article sounds like it's certainly a part of the effect we feel, but there is likely some support that the percentage of our live thus far that each moment adds up to plays a role in our sense of

I think co-founders are most useful when you have a similar vision but bring different expertise to the issue. I agree with what you are saying though, that you should have similar values and vision, but then want to discuss the implementat

I agree 100%, but there is precedent for lawyers to follow, so that is considered when pursuing each new case. Much like "I didn't mean to" is not an excuse, it is stated in law that ignorance of the law is not an excuse either. It's the sa

I think this is a challenge that a lot of startups encounter. I've certainly encountered it so far. I think the breakthrough for me was when my dad (good 'ol parents) asked me to describe what I wanted to do in one sentence. Once I did, it

This is just bad jurisprudence. It's the reason why legal language is supposed to be intentionally vague; so that there aren't potential legal issues with doing something that a completely rational person might do. Obviously there is no int

I don't disagree. As we've discussed in previous threads on the iPad, many are opposed to it's closed-system. Everyone is touting open-system as the better approach, and I definitely support that as the way to go, but few are discussing the

Some excellent points. I must admit I hadn't thought of abandoned cart reporting; that's an excellent suggestion. I think that so many sites are lagging in their ability to categorize products and then to suggestive sell at the checkout. Th

I think that the author is completely right about the iPad (the names still makes me grimace) being an appliance. As are all of Apple's products, more or less. Microsoft is a little off the mark on this one, but it IS their job to criticize

Wow, that's really interesting. I think that Britain is firmly in the wrong on this one. That places a lot of trust in a lot of individuals hands, which I don't necessarily have a problem with because of a number of psychological factors re

I actually agree with you 100% that people love something that's easy to play with. That's what I meant when I said that Apple's simplicity is their strength. What I'm talking about is a difference between "open" turnkey and "closed" turnke

That Apple is creating a closed system is of little surprise. Steve Jobs is all about control. It works in the short term, but I believe it will bite them in the ass over the long-term. Making use of a closed-system and trying to be the bes

Interesting points. I suspect that Facebook doesn't allow you to change the name of your business page because of the way they anchor them in their database... but at the same time, I believe you can change your personal page in a way that

Presentation just finished. I have to say I'm disappointed. First point is trivial; they should have gone with a new name like iSlate. Playing off of your own products name (IPod) is weak marketing. It sounds like something somebody would t
