Definitely a huge focus on mobile, but I feel like PayPal would have to become a universal standard (outside of online payment gateways) for this to really take off.

The long-term vs short-term argument makes sense, I agree on that. If you have nothing to offer in the long-term, then it's probably not going to last. If you just want to ask the hot girl out of your league on a date to say that you did, t

The problem with this article that it's not consistent with the people it references. Can you imagine Warren Buffet buying a house in the Hamptons? Plus these aren't even all of the "wealthiest" people - they're just wealthy people who happ

1) Technology - Quality speakers, nice monitors, computers, etc 2) Good pair of running shoes and a tennis racket 3) Food - Not often, but nice restaurants when I can Other then that, I don't care as much about what I drive, what I live in,

The last line is what's most important. So many people keep buying Office because it's all they've ever known, and it works. And you see that much more on the older side of 40. But for the future generations, that do know about OpenOffice a

Are the extroverts just not speaking up (ironic)? Otherwise it's really interesting how there's not a single extroverted type higher than the introverts? But it just goes to show being introverted doesn't mean you're socially incompetent an

Agreed, even some smooth movement would make a difference - the jump is very sudden

This is what I actually want...think many people don't actually visit Google.com anymore. Unless there's a fun/creative doodle.

Exactly what I thought. It's a great feature, but just going to google.com takes up time. Maybe future integration into Chrome?

I'm guessing this is for an individual, and not a family (since family size isn't even defined) So with that, I think 75k is definitely enough to live a happy life - at least when you're young and only supporting yourself. Say you live in C

It does make sense for TVs to eventually shift to this, even if Apple isn't the one to do it (though there are few better innovating companies - if any). 9 months of the year I don't have cable, and I barely miss it. Agree with what others

Doesn't this kill any hope for BlackBerry to have software revenue? Can't see that being a good thing given how fast the app market is growing. They should have bought Palm back then could.

Wonder if we'll start seeing a black market for eye-swapping surgeries because of this...

What caught my eye was how high Landline phones are. Cellphones don't have perfect reception, but I barely use landlines anymore. It's also interesting how low cable and satellite TV are, don't think that would be as low if it weren't for H

After reading this, I was a little creeped out: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jul/23/foursquare But my general policy with posting online content is if you put it online, don't be surprised when people find out. I think the ad

That's a good point. But I also wouldn't call Facebook my all encompassing social identity. I don't update my status with everything I tweet; I don't even sync up Foursquare and Facebook because I don't want everyone on Facebook knowing whe

Maybe, but I'm not sold yet. Yeah Facebook has 500 million plus users, so even if there's a 1% conversion rate they'll have the same or more users than Foursquare. That's huge, especially because Facebook has a much more diverse audience th
