huh? Somehow I'm choosing between spending $100 on headphones, and making $9000? And these are related how? I think what you're getting at is making the $100 off the credit card rewards (10%... not going to get that, but anyway), but I s

Was just about to right a similar comment before I saw yours. Also, productivity "gurus" who use their god-like productive capacity to... talk about productivity. Good times.

In regards to corporate newsletters, this post was just as ridiculous. Twitter likely had nothing to do with the decline. He has absolutely no evidence indicating it in any way, other than twitter growing while the newsletter ctr dropped.

A lot of .dmg's have that same thing, but as someone else mentioned, doesn't solve the whole problem. Naive users will drag it there, but then also drag it to the dock.

"Owning property," at least in the United States, is just a fancy term for describing renting property from the government. The price you pay for the property buys you the contract, property taxes are your rent, and anytime they feel like

While this is no doubt useful, its hilarious that something that actually removes a feature from your computer is being billed as "the most wonderful software ever invented." (not by you, by someone quoted on their homepage.)

Your math is right, but I'd bet a pretty penny that Oprah's traffic won't have anywhere near a 40% retention rate... I'd guess 10% and call that optimistic.
