I cannot wait for the day when developing for mobile will mean a decent/optimized/design-once-play-on-every-platform's browser mobile site rather than a native app. It seems a no brainer, but the current state of mobile browsers forces nati

RDPD author's whole point about assets/liabilities centres around home-ownership and how many people see it as an asset or investment rather than a liability or cost-centre. It's the only good example of a common confusion in the book and i

Right. I wonder what would happen if we try to include a measure of perceived fairness from the customer's point of view into this type of analysis. I always feel I'm picking the wrong queue at stores... single queues going to whatever cash
