We'll see whether he sticks with Android over the next few months or switches back. Even though he has some good reasons for switching, I think it really comes down to the fact that he got two free phones and might as well give them a try.

The point of my comment is that unethical behavior, even when you're early 20s, will cause people to assume the worst with you. Facebook's current privacy policies and attitudes are alarming enough, but they're far more alarming when taken

Yes, you can. Actually, I won't wait for you to ask. It's called One Day, One Job and the URL is in my profile.

When I first read the headline, I assumed the story was going to be something like Zuckerberg looks at Facebook user's private messages and makes trades based on the private information in those messages. Obviously that's not the case, but

Any thoughts on why Google is doing this other than a perverse will to take over the entire Internet? My thought is that they're hoping this will encourage more text instead of images as text. That helps them index more information and coll

I find that the reason that older people in management are slow to adopt new technology has little to do with their generations. It has more to do with the fact that their time is extremely valuable and they don't have a lot of it. Investin

As someone who runs a startup in the entry level careers space, I am so tired of people talking about generational differences, Gen-Y, Millennials, etc. I think the vast majority of it is crap. I don't disagree with the conclusion that we w

I don't know a ton about Facebook privacy, but by the time I was a few paragraphs in, it became obvious that this guy knows way less than me.

The way that I understand Airbnb's business is that they're providing an "inferior good" at least when compared to a hotel room (this is not a slight on their business). Inferior goods usually do well in poor economies (if I remember correc

I don't care what weaknesses you can find in this post or Google's strategy, the fact that they're thinking about talent in this way is impressive. Typically HR and statistical analysis don't mix.

That's called retargeting. Not sure if the Facebook Ads platform offers any kind of retargeting options (besides targeting based on Liking something), but many ad networks do. For instance, I spent some time looking at Photoshop on Adobe's

I sent an e-mail to the guys at Etacts thanking them for building what I wanted (their main product). It's amazing to me that Gmail hasn't built something like this yet. Now, what'd I really like to see is Etacts on top of Apple Mail. That

I'm still astounded at how little Facebook has done with such a powerful targeted advertising platform. There are some affiliate marketers making bank through Facebook ads, and there are some job seekers who have landed jobs through Faceboo

I worry that it won't be long before governments criminalize cash. They want to track everything (for a multitude of reasons ranging from taxes to criminal activity), and cash inhibits this.

This is brilliant. I'm the guy who came up with the idea of using Facebook Ads to target companies that you want to work for. http://www.onedayonejob.com/blog/use-facebook-ads-to-make-em... I toyed around with the idea of using Google AdW

It may be trendy, but I wouldn't call it a fad. The key to getting a job is demonstrating your skills. That's exactly what this comic does.

My company isn't actually hiring, but I run a jobs website that focuses on the entry level market. http://www.onedayonejob.com/ It's a pretty simple premise. Every day I feature a new company that is hiring. You can browse by tag, so for

I would think that breaking even on a Groupon would be the desired result. The point of Groupon, just like advertising, is customer acquisition. It's really all about lifetime value of a Groupon acquired customer. Companies need to track th

W3 Total Cache really is a fantastic plug-in. It's significantly reduced my server load, and hasn't caused any problems as far as I can tell.

I wrote the original article, and since then I've done a ton of interviews on the topic with some big name media outlets. I'm not a lawyer, but I have looked at the topic in depth. Basically, there are very few cases when unpaid internships

Why don't you give Peter a call? I've met him before. He seemed like a nice guy. See if you can resolve this thing without lawyers. Btw, the name of his company makes this whole thing sound like a joke.
