It's hard to tell where revenue comes from by looking at their earnings reports, since they aren't broken down by product/service ( http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/07/21results.html ). Clearly they make more from selling Macs, but if

As a former GMAT and GRE (as well as LSAT and SAT) instructor, I would still recommend taking the GMAT for B-School admission. The GRE is much easier, so the curve is less forgiving, especially in math. A perfect 800 on GRE math is just 8

As a black man, I don't find it racist that the picture was cropped. But I do think it was naive of Microsoft to think that people wouldn't notice and cry foul. They should have just used a different picture altogether.

It's hard to imagine where search will be in 10 years without speculating about where the web will be in 10 years. I think when we get better at organizing information when making web pages (or their future equivalent), search will get bet

The electric companies have long offered rebates for buying Energy Star appliances. It would be nice to see a cash for incandescent light bulbs program catch on nationwide, though.

Mozy Sad but true story: I worked for a company that backed up email by printing them. They finally upgraded after a year of pleading...to a hard drive in a safe-deposit box at a bank down the street. And this was 2008!

Very useful advice! Now, I just have to put these ideas into action for a project I've had on the backburner for a while...

Not sure if those 6 are up my alley, but YC RFS #2 sounds like the perfect fit for an idea I had in 1999. Maybe the technology has caught up by now!

That's easy for Apple to say ("Apple’s goal isn’t to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products"), because they are already a very successful company. Anything they sell will make money. As a strugglin

I had a "less is more" thought when I was debugging my girlfriend's HTC Touch Diamond last night. It's a Windows Mobile smartphone, and she deleted a program. Then she kept getting an error on startup telling her a component was missing a

At the moment, I'm sitting in my car (not driving) typing this. The most exotic location I've done work is on a beach in Boracay, Philippines. Since everything I do is web-based, all I need is a smartphone (HTC Touch Pro), an internet tab

I'm using Mosso/Rackspace Cloud for a web design business. I wanted clients to be able to scale up without hitting bottlenecks or affecting other sites on the server. It isn't perfect, but it has a few huge advantages. The biggest plus is

That sounds like something Apple would do. I think they should be more upfront about it, and set the default to "disabled" like most other phones with GPS do. While it would be very useful to know where people are and what programs they a

"I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it!" I took the tone of the article as quasi-facetious, but there is a kernel of truth to it. The fact is that for the most part visitors don't really care

I believe planning to a salary from the beginning forces you to think about profitability from the beginning (or if not profitability, at least viability of your revenue model). When I started my business, it was comforting knowing that I
