This is Alex's best post since he bashed SF. All is forgiven, sorry for getting unintentionally inflamed!

13 year old Americans (in families that can afford a computer with broadband) will have their whole social lives cataloged on Facebook or its successor. Indeed, even younger children will have their milestones shared by their eager parents,

Watching cable tells a story of a generation that decided to fight a trillion dollar war without including the price tag in the national budget...pushing the cost onto future generations of Americans. Not a good story of "pre-millennials".

This is kind of funny actually. They gave a sentence midway down indirectly referencing the TC drama, and the rest is the Times giving the industry the same praise its used to. Don't call it a recovery!

The article's second claim is incorrectly stated initially, but corrected further down the page. "After conducting the survey, we looked at our respondent data on both offers and surveys completed within Peanut Labs. Interestingly, we found

I work for Peanut Labs, it's been a fun day making sure we're 100% compliant with Facebook's guidelines: http://www.facebook.com/ad_guidelines.php

Zynga has used several partners for payment processing, but yes, they're not relying on Facebook for this service. Actually, Facebook is making a pile of money off of the Mafia/Farm advertising Zynga does.

I remember, but I'm not gonna balk at a long form Posner post. In philosophy of law I was made to read Posner's 'Problems of Jurisprudence'; easily the most challenging read of my admittedly convenient liberal arts education. Rewarding too.

There's a whole generation of engineers in a similar situation. But what to do? Typically they cost more than a young buck, and their station often requires income now versus a startup windfall later. What is a creative approach for them? M

Reading this on my freshly bootcamped MacBook Pro...is there something about the end of summer that makes me want to tinker?

This is exactly the kind of innovation multiple app stores could foster. The author's example could be served with an HTML5 app. Launch the page from your home screen, tap the location button and a custom database mapping web apps to locati

Try door to door canvassing for a month (or three). After returning from some travel I picked up a job at greenpeace to tide myself over. Any inhibitions to putting myself out there and selling were hammered out in the three months I fund-r

Michael the CEO is speaking about justin.tv's money-making strategy at the Google campus on Monday. A couple of other 'community status' style companies will be there too. Search 'Monetizing Web 2.0' on meetup.com if you're curious.

I like your point here. It sounds like Apple's MO for content sales to be hit-driven. I suspect that the billboards built into iTunes drive a lot of music sales too. The parallels between music revenue and app revenue might make a good post

My thoughts on Facebook Connect in code: http://dwadwa.com/connect/test.html Actually, I like the comment box, took all of a minute to get it to work. But like the author, I worry about the monoculture.

The article cites this as the essential feature of Keyne's theory that Obama is calling for: government spending should make up the difference between national capacity for economic output, and the current projected level of economic output

by avdempsey 18y ago
Given the headline I expected more of an argument about how Obama's stimulus plan is Keynesianism's first "true" test. Really the argument amounts to this: 1. FDR didn't really try Keynesianism until he was forced to during WWII (the 30s di

I made a similar comment on the Buffet story on the front page, but Atwood's argument is good fodder to extend my argument. Atwood says: If it's core to your business, don't go shopping, do the hard work and make it yourself. Buffet says: A

by avdempsey 18y ago
All respect to Buffet in his success and this op-ed's general message. But its simplicity reminds me of George Bush's call to "go shopping" after 9/11. Do you want to overcome fear and build America's future? Then entrepreneurs lets get bui
