I'd love if some of the downvoters could explain 1) why I'm wrong or 2) what an alternative would look like?

THere is a simple solution to the Social Security "crisis". Right now only income up to 100,000 is subject to social security taxes. Anything over 100,000 is not taxed for social security. If we raised taxable income to 150,000 or 200,000 e

Maybe I'm missing it, but where is the article? All I see is a slide show about 15 athletes that have gone broke. Google didn't return anything recent. Can somebody reply with the link?

"Most NBA players are scouted from very early on (AAU), then to college for 1 year, then to NBA." This is completely untrue. Players that go to the NBA one year out of college are the exception and not the rule.

"Nonsensical?" There's no need to be rude. We're both allowed to have an opinion. And for the record, it's not "nonsensical" to say that she sidestepped the traditional corporate experience most women have because she did just that. She wa

Really great idea. This is perfect for roomates, especially college aged. Also very good for ADHD types like myself! Can't wait to start using it.

Ok let's get back to the basics of this discussion. I said that I didn't like Sandberg saying that the glass ceiling doesn't exist because she wouldn't know much about it since she got to side step it. You came along and started talking abo

"Working hard and hoping you get noticed by the right people is how just about everybody gets ahead" I'd have to strongly disagree. There are plenty of people in this world (plenty at the top) who were born in to the right position and eith

How does my comment significantly downplay "the extent to which it was her own hard work and good work attitude that got her to where she is now?" All I said was that it is unnerving to see somebody who hasn't really had a chance to run in

Sure I can elaborate on my "[propping] up and sponsored by men" comment although you questioning that makes me feel like you didn't read the article. That was a consistent theme--people asserting that her attitude about women in business/te

It's a little unnerving to see a woman who was propped up and sponsored by men and given every advantage (yes, after working hard--like many others) say there is no glass ceiling. How would she know when she got to ride in the special elev

"Facebook won based on amazing technological innovations in the form of the app platform." I don't think this is true. I know that people I was friends with on myspace who migrated to facebook did so because myspace got to be too much of an

Great. Now all we have to do is wait until Zefram Cochrane invents the warp drive in 2063. :-)

"We will not share your idea with anyone else, but we cannot guarantee that we will not work on something very similar." That makes me almost 100% unlikely to use your site. I know that you're CYA here, but I would need to cover mine too..

Not anymore, they took that off a while ago. Funny thing is for a while the gmail logo still appeared even though when you clicked it to import via gmail it didn't have the option.

The only way I can think of for them to really, really make this worth it beyond just owning the service is to integrate it in to Outlook like gmail video/voice chat. Although worker bees would hate it, it would be cool as a supervisor to

I am a non-dev teaching myself to program and something like what you describe would be great. Something for people who want to learn about the tech side but aren't going hardcore with the self-teaching would probably be good as well--meani

I thought Wave was a good idea, and a good amount of my friends used it for a while. I think integrating it more with gmail would have made it dynamite. Or some how using it as a regular email account. I kinda miss wave now.

I think it depends on what type of marketing you need, e.g. online ad sales? B2b? Where you're trying to go with your startup or business probably should determine what type of help you need.

I've thought a lot about this "Great Team v. Great idea" and I think what you're saying is partially true. You have great teams failing right this very second, and it's viewed as ok given that they are, well, great teams. But that still l

Apparently it's already trademarked--they have the TM right next to the name when you search it in the app store. I am really surprised by this...
