It doesn't really matter what strategy you have, as long as you've agreed on a strategy beforehand. In the past, we've done coin flips, even/odd pepperonis on a pizza, rock-paper-scissors, even a ping pong game. Another alternative that I

I really enjoyed this article, and it definitely took a different bent than I expected, which I'm starting to think will be a hallmark of Mr. Altucher's writing. His excellent advice boils down to the following: Have personal contact with e

Having just finished my annual re-reading of Peopleware, I'm gonna pick up a copy of this book to see how it compares in its conclusions on the topics covered in both books.

I'd definitely start with the completed tasks. Anything not completed I'd save for the end and try to brush off as "putting the finishes touches on" or "need to rethink some of the workflow" or something like that.

I'm not surprised at all. Pretty much all of the enterprise software development that I've seen is either Java or C#.

I'm really curious what the status would be of third-party content applications. Let's say that Amazon exposed reading functionality in a Kindle Web API but not purchasing functionality. So I implement an iOS application called kReader

I was almost completely buying into the theme park and pizza concession analogy. But then I thought of the one exception. You're allowed to buy Amazon pizza outside of the park and bring it in for free, but only if Amazon has agreed to se

This made me think of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax". "I speak for the trees, as the trees have no tongues."

>And as far as I read the release, SaaS is not concerned. Unless you're using Apples subscription mechanism, you're not offering a subscription in-app. So if you simply use a web API, that's not a subscription. That's the point that you

Okay, I was wrong. I don't know when they updated the App Store Review Guidelines without notice, but they did. The above would be true if it was only 11.14 that needed to be dealt with. I hadn't yet seen the text for 11.13. Given the t

As mentioned in the comments to the article, the most likely scenario is that Amazon removes the button which automatically sends them to the Kindle store in Safari and instead replace it with some sort of text telling them how to do it man

When you ask questions like this, you really need to state where exactly you live. If you don't, all answers are going to be vague generalities since we can't say "Stop by your local Founder's Exchange". However, if you said, "I'm in Pi

This seems like a silly move to me. I would have expected a zune running Phone 7 to help push the OS to more users. I would love to have a Phone 7 device to hack around on, but I've already got a phone and data plan.

I'm not sure it's possible to disambiguate his point and the culture shift. i.e. perhaps the culture has shifted because of the issues he's described.

Stocks used to be priced in eighths of a dollar. So if a stock was selling for $1.50, the next increment up was $1.625 and the next step down was $1.375. They are now priced down to the penny, so a $1.50 stock can go directly to $1.51 or

Measuring any "Random Tech Company" versus Apple on the metric of Revenue Per Employee is always going to be skewed in Apple's disfavor. Everyone always forgets the thousands of retail employees at Apple Stores which are obviously going to

More correctly, this article is about why most business books suck for entrepreneur's looking for clear, actionable advice. The post does do a good job of summarizing the different types of business books.

Given the subtitle "Just ask Apple and Ikea", I was hoping for some examples where they tried user innovation and it failed. But the only supportive examples in this "article" are two people from the respective companies saying simply "It

There's nothing preventing Apple from signing up to be a Kindle developer and using the KDK to develop an iBooks app for the Kindle. http://kdk.amazon.com/ I'd like you to point out any evidence that Amazon has excluded or rejected Apple'

I admire your cynicism. I was cynical as well, but went the other direction and assumed that this was AT&T trying to bilk $0.20 out of millions of people without text messaging plans.

Instead of buying that shiny new iMac in 1997, and iPod and iBook in 2002, put all that money directly into AAPL. You'll thank me in 10 years.
