   Surprisingly, the other one only has 2 points. This is another example showing how heavily other factors weigh in getting upvoted, as opposed to just purely the content of the website.

   Unless I'm missing something, this title is misleading. The article itself doesn't say anything about Jobs making that statement, only the fact that Cult of Mac speculates that FB's terms became onerous.

    A side effect of doing this is that it is much more fuel efficient to not have to go into a cycle of breaking and accelerating again.

    If you crave money for its own sake you will never be rich. What's the logic behind that? I see a lot of people making this claim (probably unwarranted).. where exactly is this coming from?

    This article leaves a lot missing. When was the last time you saw someone who looked ripped but couldn't lift some heavy weights? Lifting high rep low weight certainly doesn't prepare you for that.

    Another useful thing is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_release . Go pick up the hardest foam roller you can handle and start rolling: http://www.amazon.com/Foam-Roller-6-x-36/dp/B000Y4W9VA/ It has done wonders for my body.

    I find the author a little naive for not knowing that most excuses that people have are just made to protect the ego. :/ And it's unreasonable to expect everyone to be hard-working on something whose outcome will be largely determined by ch

    Nope. I think the article understates this but there is a difference between APM and EAPM. eAPM (Effective APM) is probably what he was getting at. Semi-pros can have APMs of 200-700, with 70% of their actions being actions like spamming mu

    This (and other creative implementations) works because it's not mainstream. I'd imagine once it becomes big, spammers will find a way to defeat it. As far as I know, different CAPTCHAs have different degrees of effectiveness. Google's is a

    It seems like you have to have a particular mindset to practice meditation. For some reason, the concept of meditation is intuitive to me.. an analogy I feel like making is that it's similar to "reading between the lines." Yet at the same t
