What an extremely negative review, it oozes negativity! I was really worried after reading this that my Kindle Fire was going to suck. But when it arrived slowly but surely I started thinking that this article was over critical, lopsided, a

I think the idea of the fold might means different things to different designers. "Above the fold" is really "Your first Impression". If you have a good first impression, chances are you'll stick around, if not you might leave. Regardless o

I think the author of this fails to realize that you can teach a lot of things but not attitude. You can't convince someone to be passionate about your pet project, not gonna happen. All the begging and reasoning in the world is not going t

Facebook started with $17,000 investment from a friend and was a dorm room project, not a company. When trying to beat someone it is probably a good idea to see how they got to where they are at. Steady growth over time works. Dumping a shi

Hmmm, you want someone to spend 5 days coding for your browser when you could spend 1 minute to upgrade. Nice.

I think the real take away should be that we are all flawed as human beings. No matter what we do, how much we achieve, how great we become, we are still human and very imperfect. There are certainly some detestable people on this earth, I

There are a million great people people out there that you don't know who aren't lucky. Having money doesn't make you great, being great makes you great. I do think that the harder you work and the the more opportunity you give yourself to

Who determines who is actually worthy 20 million or a billion? In every case there is a tremendous amount of good fortune, luck, and incredible timing. Anyone who thinks they deserve that much more money than someone else because they are j

Not sure how this memo addresses the complaint of employees being strong armed into relinquishing their stock options. Seems like a very vague and general message that didn't offer any real insite.

Why wouldn't you be able to, it's a good framework with plenty of options. Not to mention the designer/developer can always add/customize on top of it. Nice collection.

Last time I checked, Unions were legal. For that matter not liking a company is legal too. Not wanting to work for someone, also legal. My friend not wanting to work for someone I don't like, also legal. Not liking a companies policies, umm

Bad experiences with stock options happen a lot in the tech world. I believe it's one reason that working for a startup doesn't have the allure it once had. Many are busting there butts and just collecting a paycheck because their shares ha

This doesn't come a huge surprise. Since a consumer could buy a kindle, 2 kindle touches, and a kindle fire (or some combination) for the same prices a the lowest model iPad. These prices are going to make kindle products really popular for

A lot of truths in this article. Thanks for sharing, at the very least it makes me feel sane for feeling like I'm going to go insane working at home all the time. Cheers.

I actually emailed them explaining my frustation on how the site was really for people who already had connections. It didn't work very well for connecting people that had very little influence or existing connections with investors. They w

Apple is going to face some stiff competition in 2012 from the Kindle Fire and the new Nook. There is no iPad Killer but these are real players in this space and I don't see them going away anytime soon. Both will have access to an incredib

It could have but the message didn't tie into spurring someone's imagination. Perhaps if you had something interesting such a picture, illustration, or even brief write up of what you expect this section to become it would have allowed for

Just a basic comment. If you dont' have content for a page, don't put it in your navigation until it is ready. No one will be disappointed about a page they don't know exists. Coming Soon... is very 90's

I think there are plenty of examples of poorly designed web pages out there (most are poorly designed). The trick is describing what makes a great home page and why. Even without the color coding I think many of us could see how poorly laid

Pretty addicting scrolling feature. An overload of information but a cool graphical way to see what's going on.

The ROI is creating something incredible that you can be proud of forever. This is art! I hope people will always have the courage to create amazing things without worrying about the financials.

The most important part (resources to build your mobile site) is just a list of vendors. I would have liked to see frameworks, templates, ets. Paying someone else is certainly a viable option but shouldn't be the main resource. Part of help

Really nice article, thx for sharing. Did you do any testing on the length of the video? I would be interested if you found an ideal length that effected conversions.

Also, starting a company and being an Entrepreneur are not the same thing. There are many owners of small businesses that would certainly not consider themselves Entrepreneurs. I never hear that term tossed around by the owner of the local

Although this might work for some people I have found personally that creating a sustainable lifestyle is probably best. Setting a schedule that is mentally, physically, and emotionally draining is not a recipe for success in my experience.
