In the same vein.. if you want a delicious salad, try making this: an over-easy egg served on top of chunks of crispy bacon over baby spinach greens, with a dressing of a mixture of a decent balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

And yet, at the end of the day, "making photo tagging easier" is what it comes down to. They're framing it as providing a benefit instead a feature.

Babylon is already the name of a translation software company (for >13 years, see babylon.com).

I work in the translation industry, and the interesting part of this to me is the implementation. Generating the resulting translation image in real time is a unique idea that is probably hard to make work well. OCR on a mobile device witho

I absolutely love when someone can explain something you know , but make you understand it. Although the article is about CEO succession, it seems to make a strong case for creating a diverse executive team. While it may be more difficul

He's probably impressed because while that should be "a given for a non-trivial and widely-used desktop application", in reality it rarely is.

From a personal and business perspective, the thing I find most appealing about Chrome is that it feels so much faster than other browsers. In practice, this means you can extend the life of old hardware which is primarily used for browsing

It would be great if you implemented a crop/preview feature, so the user could line things up properly instead of having to manually loop through editing/submiting until a decent result is achieved.

Definitely. That story (or rather, the concept - as there are seemingly many variations on the story) was the first thing that came to mind when I read the article. Google "knowing where to tap" for (some) variations.

Also, after ~two semesters of college, I realized I typically focused a lot on homework, etc. during the first three weeks of the semester and started to burn out. However, it is the last three weeks of the semester that usually impact your

I found that to be true with school. 5% effort usually gets you a B, while the closer you wanted to get to "perfection" (100%/A+), exponentially more effort is required.

Indeed. It would be nice if dd-wrt or a variant supported a wonder-shaper sort of fix..

I agree, since there is no implication in the Spanish phrase of "what can you offer in return?". The Golden Rule seems to mesh better with the original ideal expressed. I always find it interesting when literal translation, or convenience i

Hundreds/month of revenue, with what sort of expenses? Is it mostly just the issue of the amount of time you're putting into it with relatively little return?

The original Spanish expression is "Hoy por ti, mañana por mi", and I find the Golden Rule to be the closest direct application of the concept in a single expression. Interestingly, the three suggested translations of the expression I found

Aside from the topic of landing pages - BuckyBalls seems like an extremely slimey company. Look up Buckyballs vs. Zen Magnets, or see http://boingboing.net/2010/09/24/buckyballs-magnet-ma.html

Odesk does this to allow "bosses" to monitor freelancers.

Indeed. While I would love to migrate to AWS, it is still vastly more expensive than our current power/bandwidth/cage space costs.

Although I wouldn't argue there is an immediate need for 5TB objects, raising the previous 5GB limit is undoubtedly useful.

I'm fairly certain FatWallet (Finance) figured it out before it was discussed FlyerTalk. Lots of great finance/deals there, if you aren't in the know already.

American Express Blue Cash is great if you spend more than about $9000/year on it. The first $6500 in a year provides cashback at 0.5% on everything, 1% on "everyday purchases" (gas, groceries, drugstore, etc). After that, cashback jumps to

What a month indeed! The first two are really only interesting to the masses in hindsight though. I wonder how many interesting technological advances happen every month that we don't realize until years later.
