There used to be (still is?) a business that did this for jeans. It's a neat idea. But the site design is cheesy, to put it nicely.

External links tended to lag, but overall, not bad. One thing bugs me, though -- why did they use a power button symbol instead of a play symbol?

I think Netflix and Hulu (along with the internet at large) have already disrupted the TV industry. Cable painted themselves into a corner -- they leveraged their monopoly of the home entertainment dollar by adding more and more channels th

The difference between Twitter and MySpace is that MySpace was a colossal piece of shit. It was ugly, poorly built, and most importantly, lacked the timeline feature that best illustrates what a social networking site is supposed to do -- k

Remember when eBay launched their would-be "Craigslist killer" and called it Kijiji? That was a bad domain name.

I worked for a company that switched to Google Business a few years ago. The one thing I'll say about the experience is that administering the back end totally sucks. The UI in a lot of places makes no sense. For instance, there are setting

It's kind of funny that such a succinct explanation of Twitter's core problem could lead to a tl;dr situation.

They could call it "Free Blowjobs," all it would end up doing is pushing people towards Firefox and Chrome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_equity

I feel like Microsoft should have branded IE10 as a completely new piece of software and not as the newest Internet Explorer. I totally disagree with this. You have to remember that a sizable portion of computer users don't really underst

I recently interviewed for a job at a web agency that I was perfect for; literally, the job listing described my resume. Consequently, I nailed the interview. He asked me what my salary requirements were and I told him; he said he'd run it

Better yet, go to an airport. Every time I go to the airport, any airport, I see a higher percentage of Apple logos staring back at me than I did the previous visit. It's kind of amazing. It wasn't that long ago that you almost never saw an
