Very true. Apparently we've only explored 5%, leaving 95% for a giant something to be living. It would be a sad day to realize there is nothing left to be discovered. Even at an older age I still find it fascinating and exciting to think th

I think they've figured out that you as a user is worth X amount more to advertisers than you're probably willing to pay a year. Would most people be willing to pay $100 a year if that is what you are worth to Facebook's advertisers?

It's definitely not money (but that would be nice :D) Definitely not "fame", I don't like a lot of attention. I guess, some kind of mix of boredom and an urge to learn something new.

I guess I've been lucky to not get roped into that thinking. I'm still happy using my refurbished first gen iPad and a mid 2009 Macbook Pro. But I will admit that I think I might grab an iPad mini when a retina display gets added in.

Very true. Most people don't seem to be able to visualize how a tablet, or possibly any piece of technology, will fit into their lives until they have one and use it. I would guess that showing how these tablets, or any piece of new technol

It's interesting how all of a sudden with the option of having a smaller iPad, the "old" iPad has become much to large for a lot of people but when the smaller device was just a rumor a lot of people didn't feel they could fit it in their l

That is a scary line of thinking IMO. If you work for 40 years and lived by that philosophy you'd have worked for nearly 20 companies. While if you're a freelancer that might seem normal, but as a normal salaried employee, that seems like q

Great insight. My "first project" was something way too big for a first attempt and crashed and burned before it even "launched". It was such a bad experience that I didn't really try anything for 3 or 4 years. Then I decided to try a coupl

I was the complete opposite. I found the story compelling and interesting from the get go. Had they opened with stats from a study, I probably would have stopped there. The personal story hooked me.

I understand, I've just never thought of tv complicating my life. I was once considering "cutting the cord" and my life got more complicated trying to figure out what services to use to subscribe to my shows I wanted to watch, managing down

How are you preparing your fresh food solely with a microwave? Do you follow a raw diet? Or do you steam vegetables in a microwave? Interested to hear.

I still never understood how having cable or a tv complicates people's lives. Besides the inconvenience on the day it was installed, it has essentially been no hassle. The money comes out every month, I schedule some shows I like and watch

It does if the majority of your buyers are on that one platform.

I'd really like to give this a shot but am only interested in trying it on my iPad which can't get iOS6, so unfortunately, rather than passing on this, I am being left behind.

There are plenty of reasons Facebook sucks, but you didn't hit on any of them. The one thing Facebook does well is allow people to share stuff and produce some value to those who receive it.

Damn, didn't realize that. But to be honest, it won't change my habits. I enjoy reading comics, not the actual comics themselves. I don't "collect" them, I just buy and read them, and will probably never reread a book.

That is something that concerns me as well. I don't know what Comixology's DRM technologies are, or if they even have any. I haven't looked, but it would be nice to know that I can export those books that I have paid for to another DRM free

Your point of out of print books is very true, and for another reason. Unless I can hunt down a 50th printing of the first appearance of Spider Man or the first Captain America, odds are I would never get to read them. Having a digital copy

I used to read comics as a kid on and off, but stopped at some point. I then got an iPad and learned about Comixology and figured I'd pick up an issue or two from my childhood. Well, a couple of hundred digital comics later I am fully commi

I see these types of people as well, and this is probably true for most people. I guess I just don't need goals when it comes to fitness to stay motivated or make progress.

I am not familiar with Fitocracy but it seems to be getting much love here. Part of my dislike for tracking and measuring fitness might come from my experience with cumbersome apps that make the process a pain. I used Fitness Buddy for a pe

Good post, but I think there is too much emphasis in general on tracking and logging workouts. I find the whole tracking and logging weights, reps and feelings while working out to be daunting and pointless. Maybe it's because I am not a "I

"Mormonism (as recently said in Sam Harris' last post) is as crazy a religion as you get;" Come on, what religion isn't crazy in reality? Grading each religion on their value based on their "crazy factor" shows most of the world's religions

Right, the headline is misleading, at least to me. Sleeping on someone's couch usually means said sleeper is having a rough time and needs a roof over their head. I assumed this story was about an investor who turned Joel down, then hit a r

But having a user register for an account isn't inherently a problem with the website, not like a error, missing page or broken feature. It is merely a step in the purchase process that needs to be optimized. I wouldn't assume that the requ

Well, having too much liquidity is one of the reasons I know when payday is. If you have direct deposit, do you just let your check sit in your checking account (or where ever it is desposited)? I don't have funds automatically moved to var

"It goes like this. The people who generally have their financial shit together don't usually realize when it's pay day. Those who live pay-cheque to pay-cheque always know, and will remind you as well! I once received an email from a colle
