Congrats on the book sales! I did not know about your book beforehand and have been looking for something like this, so I think I will give yours a shot.

The LEGO catalog always had this option. You could specify the bricks and colors you wanted and place an order to them directly. Now you just do it through their website.

I very much remember what happened to my own set: I left them in a classroom in middle school before moving away. I was at the age where I didn't use them for much anymore, but I did like to put little projects together every now and t

There was something sort of whimsical about that video game aisle and the slips of paper you would have to bring to the register.

Little surprised to see no comments on the car's aesthetic design. My first thought was "ew". At least with Tesla they tried to go with a design that was very appealing to the eye. This car looks like an ugly, mass-produced P

So AirBnB has hit a lot of high notes in a really short span of time, but just because their product rocks today doesn't mean it will stay that way forever. You still need a product and engineering team for coming up with fresh ideas t

That made me cringe a little. Especially when the rest of the page seemed pretty professional (save for the now industry-standard cartoon icons everywhere).

I liked the concept and probably didn't give it a fair shake, but it flooded me with notifications and I just didn't want to take the time to tweak it to my needs. Its one of those apps you need a good tutorial (from someone other

I was just thinking about how the idea has been around a long time. Even back in the early 2000s I was working on a project that used a camera on a special tripod that would let you take pictures in 360 degrees and stitch them together with

If you already felt like it looked like a play, then that's why people didn't like it. Sets look like they would on a stage, not what the stage represents. If the story takes place in a castle in 18th century England, you want the

That graphic at the end of the article, can I see that for other IPOs of the past? That was a very interesting way to visualize not only how much a gain the founders and VCs saw, but how much they would have been valued at initially.

There was and still is a very big push in the States to find your life's fulfillment in your work first. Its very ingrained into our culture these days. I think it stems from the old cliche "if you love your job, you'll never

There isn't, but the losers don't get to write the history books.

Pretty much the equivalent of those cardboard holders you get with a cup of Starbucks coffee. Extremely simple idea, some guy just happened to think of it and run with it. Just a reminder that there is plenty of room left in the world for s

I think the heat alone would disrupt a river ecosystem.

Something that this article hasn't touched on, but I'm sure will be a big issue in the coming years, is the legality of Airbnb's service. Right now they are cruising along without much risk in that area, but that's only

I believe OP was referring more to the hockey stick model of wide-spread change in political beliefs. It is a very, very long road toward a change in the public's perception of some issue, such as equal rights or gay marriage, but ther

I had read an article on the fall of winamp once, I think it was this one by ars technica: http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/06/winamp-how-greatest-... It seems like in the case of winamp there was a mix o

Wonderful article, even if the mid section gets a little too detailed about the history of MS and the understanding of programming abstraction layers. Looking back on the past and being able to relay your day-to-day life like that into a st

I would think your ultrabook would be past its manufacturer's warranty anyway at that point anyway and would be a candidate for some sort of DIY battery replacement.

I think an environmentalist just died a little bit after reading this. But yes, this is the only sweeping statement that could be universally applied. Anything else is just anecdotal and something to talk about at the next happy hour.

Ah, the old elevating yourself by putting down some popular things trick. Never ceases to get some unwarranted attention.

Its still a good service and their ability to turn around disks so quickly was a huge advantage to them for years. They wisely realized, however, that the DVD business would die slowly and got very competitive about streaming. I'm sure

Maybe currency fades away and we start anew by measuring wealth by how many people are loyal to you. I don't think power and influence will go away just because labor does.

I couldn't agree more, I love the simplicity and speed of my Nikon. Switching it to ON, autofocusing and clicking the shutter button can all be done in less than a second, which is CRITICAL when getting an unexpected shot sometimes. No

If apple is looking to attract newcomers to their platform I think the last thing they should do is totally isolate them simply because they don't own an apple product already.
