But those 'almost-providers' knew they might not get the deal. They choose to participate knowing there was a risk. They didn't "work for free", they made a decision that the risk/reward was worth it. Oh, and if you down-vote someone on HN

I still don't understand the hate. What's wrong with this? Person purchasing the 'other stuff' never knows/cares. Amazon is happy. Affiliate is happy. Who's hurt/injured?

I read the no-spec site and while I kinda see the POV when thinking about large design projects, I don't see what the problem is for small things like a banner ad as the Kickoff Labs post was discussing. There are creatives all over the wor

Cracks me up how managing Google+ Circles has become work. I keep hoping someone comes up with a metaphor/system for managing the ultra-dynamic nature of real human relationships in a way that does not require admin tools like this.

This is a narrow-minded analysis that fails to expose what is really important in the competition between these giants. The battleground is not the phones (devices) but the services that power the experiences consumers will use and pay for

That's right. It's also easy to make an insecure platform. The hard thing to do is to balance these two things. This reminds me of two of my favorite quotes: “Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it.

The WP7 API surface area is very much locked down. For example, in v1 we did not provide any access to the address book (other than a chooser). There is no way to do cross app IPC. There was no background processing. No sockets. Etc... As

Nope, you're not wrong at all in wishing that. I was one of the folks in charge of defining and building the Windows Phone 7 application platform. I pushed extremely hard to ensure that when WP7 shipped the app sandbox was tight, tight, tig

This is a great framework for discussing how computing is changing. But it does not go far enough to describe the fullness of the "web OS". This article focuses on the presentation layer. I'd love to see more discussion about the other la

I agree you can learn to love something, but to say that nothing is fun until you are good at it is simply Not True. When I got my Apple ][ in 1980 I was not good at programming. But I had a freaking BLAST writing AppleSoft BASIC code till

I am firmly convinced that if you don't enjoy programming you'll never actually become a programmer. It does not matter how smart you are. It does not matter how much you WANT to become a programmer. So the first thing I do when introducing

Great article. The first thing I do when mentoring noob entrepreneurs/founders is ask them about their networks. "How are you growing it?" "Who are your mentors?" "Who are your mentees?" "Who are the big-wigs in your network?" I have found,

My favorite from this article: Networking: it isn’t just for TCP packets. Seriously, get out there and grow your network. Do it by getting over being shy and smile more. Ask how you can help others. And ask for nothing in return. You will b
