I wonder how much of the documented improvement is placebo effect? Even if it didn't directly improve focus it seems like it would be a great placebo. Nine volt batteries are probably commonly perceived as being powerful. They are used in s

Agreed: When I work on a block of code I am quickest at making changes to it within the hour (as I still have it's design and structure loaded into my brain). I'm slower to make the same changes after a few days or a week, and even more so

Neither of those links contain credible information, which is one reason you are receiving downvotes. The book on Amazon was interesting. I clicked through and had a look at the reviews. Startlingly, it appeared to be rated exceptionally we

At what point does it make sense to involve a lawyer? $5,000? $10,000? Isn't it expensive to legally fight for your payment?

Agreed, I think replacing waitresses with touchscreens removes an important part of the whole dining out experience. A touchscreen waiter seems very cold and utilitarian. It reminds me of the cheap LCD displays that have replaced gas statio

Could be, but how do you explain the (nearly) 10% who never used their iPads? >> The iPad is also mentioned: 9 per cent of respondents claim that they are yet to use their new device because they "haven't gotten round to it" or beca

Scanning the barcode and then doing a lookup of your flight reservation against your ID is far superior than just checking the printed name against your ID.

I think there's a better solution for e-mail. The moment it reaches the server the UI unblocks. Later, if there is an issue with sending your e-mail it alerts you inside your browser. If you're unreachable through your web browser it sends

I don't think that all expectations are equal. It's possible that I'm in the minority, but I try to be mindful of my expectations and control for them. When my brain is trying to anticipate what will be the best experience for dinner on Fri

But a lot of companies don't need phone sales representatives anymore. They can do nearly the same thing with Adwords account and a decent landing page. Both of which can be setup for less than a days pay of a phone representative. Pick ano

Your argument is the common objection to this idea and it's all well and good up to the part where you say that technology only creates frictional unemployment "as people re-train". Here's the problem as I see it. Technology is advancing, r

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think it's been "revealed as a viral marketing campaign". So, Jonathan's company has worked with Starbucks in the past - am I missing something? Is that the extent of what we're working with here? If so
