If Linked-In ever wants us to connect more often, first they should lower their subscription prices. At $25/month, it's a rip-off, and without a subscription the site looks useless and is not worth visiting too often. I'm currently subscrib

I think an "appetizer" is necessary to get the users love the site and make them sent invitations to friends. In case of YouTube, that was a video-clip that I adored, in case of Xing.com it was being able to see the profile of a friend I kn

That's a redundant product if you consider that every laptop owner's got wireless connection and one more computer with a large harddisk connected to LAN and/or an external harddisk with an ethernet connection. I wonder who will ever buy it

Thank you for the comment. By the "exit strategy", you mean creating the startup with a short list of acquirers in mind, I guess. I can re-phrase my view on the difference so: "A startup is designed to multiply its appeal to acquirers and b

As an Apple user, I'm horrified. The way they question the Woolworths logo looks sort of like a huge monster trying to crush a small fly with their iron-covered feet. This has got certainly nothing to do with defending a trademark logo, but

I'm surprised that no one in this thread has mentioned the OLED technology. just take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED and you'll understand why it's the best: It just doesn't require any backlight, resulting in the most natura

The current level of CO2 at 385ppm is way much higher than the natural record of 280ppm thousands of years ago, all thanks to the exploitation of oil and trillions of dollars invested in internal combustion engine "ICE" cars. Giants like To

I haven't noticed it at first but that's right, it's really outdated. But still interesting as it depicts the inner workings of OS OS'es in a lively manner.

MP3 causes a hearing disorder called Tinnitus. There's a research paper about it here: http://weltenschule.de/Logologie/info/MP3-Gefahr/MP3-risk.ht... I don't mean MP3 is totally bad but, I believe it might affect a sensitive person when
