The interesting thing with Palm, as a technology innovator, is that their main principle is the principle that's killing them. They went with a simplistic, anti-"feature creep" approach with the Palm Pilot. It's characterized by their sim

When you say flexibility, what exactly do you mean? I see two types: 1. Mental Flexibility - the ability to see things from different perspectives. 2. Resourcefulness - flexibility in getting things done and how they get done. Which one ar

Unless it was intentionally stupid, they are trying. I have to disagree with Doostang.com. I've heard a lot of good things, and the other sites are the beginnings to good ideas. Usually, 2 or 3 sites have to start in a certain direction,

If you manage your time and life right, you shouldn't have to be sleep-deprived. Of course, that means you have to schedule your priorities, and some things won't make it as part of your life. I've gotten my Bachelor's and Master's, and I

To me, this blog post is a "duh!" moment. Of course, it's true, there are a number of factors that influence an apparently revolutionary discovery. It's similar to topics covered in Complexity by Mitchell Waldrop. Let's also not forget l

The "crazy friend" paragraph reminds of a chapter in Founders at Work. An interviewee comments that if you can't persuade one other friend to take the plunge with you on a startup idea, then the idea may not be worth pursuing. We're all l

I agree with this point, and it what I intended. The key to the Pareto rule is that it should drive personal effort. For sites like Facebook, I think that you would just attract the content drivers (the 20%), and then the other 80% follow

SwellJoe - To give the argument a different twist, it's hard for most people to hold different perspectives beyond their best core ability. For many hackers, they're so engrossed in it, and for good reason. As you say, they are smarter th

I'm always a fan of the technology solution to any problem, but it's fundamentally a policy problem. Until, the health care system changes in this country for universal coverage, then the system will react in a positive way. Perhaps, this
