None of what you said gives me any comfort. In fact the opposite. I thought the lungs have a chance to capture large particles and that too small particles getting into your lungs is the cause of disease.

I was just thinking today while wrestling with a Google presentation doc that the UI sucks, as does the UI of many Google products. Yesterday I was wrestling with the Picasa Uploader. However the totality of the UX is ok, since I reall

No you don't. Not even Facebook was first. I like to call it validation . Ever notice how a lot of web pages used to suck. Nowadays a lot of apps are like that (present app excepted :-). Keep going!

Here's quick correction: Toss out the poll look in the server log. (Requires access to server log)

Too little too late. I just got off a call with my wife (SV to the Bay Bridge, iPhone to iPhone) and it only dropped 4 times. I just relocated to my number to SV a couple of months ago and I only had to call 4 times to get all the features

Add new entities, add new relations between them. The "social" in the network starts to fade and it simply becomes the network we use to get what we want. Facebook has a nice beachhead, but that does not mean the game is over.

Not sure myself. But it might involve the TV remote control.

Nice summary. Must take issue with a couple of points. "$2 billion revenue for $400 million profit gives a P/E ratio of 125. That is simply nuts." More likely it means that the sum of Facebook's earnings growth and discount rate needs to

In a persuasive setting words are currency. Gresham's Law (bad currency drives out good) applies. Since the words in question are actually numbers we get slapped in the face with it this time. Or we get a chuckle, depending on your prior le

Insider trading is a legal term, and is not always illegal. This issue is more about the election of public versus private status (another legal issue) and the rules about who can invest in various forms of private investment (yet another l

I got married on New Year's Eve 16 years ago. It was a great night to get married, so congratulations. New Year's Eve will always be your anniversary first and a holiday second, which is a good thing if you ask me. Advice? Don't!!! (Just a

Most web sites are bad. That's why. Eventually things like Google Places, Yelp, etc. will handle 100% of their UX.

If you can't reproduce the equivalent emotional load in English, it's probably because this particular phrase is not part of the culture. You can simulate it, much like Tolkien might, by choosing words that are more likely to resonate wit

You nailed it. Journalism will always seem "challenged" on a topic on which you are an expert. If they don't completely screw it up with factual errors, give them an A+ and take everything else with a grain of salt. I worked on a biofuels s

Probably some cash out for the founders and very early investors. And some more dev. Maybe a lot more. Nothing to get upset about.

You are a pinch hitter. Better yet, a clutch hitter. You know, when the game is on the line, the chips are down, and the fat lady is about to sing. The utility infielder is used for late inning defense to protect a lead. Versatile guy on to

When I was a teenager in the 70's I used to hitchhike around town whenever I got tired of waiting for the bus. Hard to imagine today. Invariably the guys (never a woman) who would pick me up had been in military service, and had to hitch a
