How things really work: Non-technical founder tells potential technical co-founder his great idea. Technical "co-founder" goes and creates Facebook/SnapChat on their own ;)

The "Adwords for Outdoor and Transit Advertising" is a good idea. I once looked into how much it would cost to buy some billboard space, and it looked like it would be a pain in the ass (talking to sales people and whatnot).

What-a-shit-show. The obvious answer is to move and let Silicon Valley implode.

While I don't drink anymore, the truth is that the lagers all taste the same and you should just buy whatever's the cheapest.

The web is better today. And personal home pages or web pages are still around in the form of blogs, the only problem is that most people don't blog.

That's badass. I didn't know you could do a full linux install on a chromebook. I used to run Ubuntu using crouton but I had to press all these crazy button combinations to boot up in developer mode and then enter some more shell

I bought a Chromebook two years ago thinking I could wipe out Chrome OS completely and install Ubuntu to use as my primary machine. But I actually was only able to "sort of" install linux using crouton. It was cool but kind of an

I bought some Bitcoin for a family member as a gag gift recently thinking we could have some fun paying each other with Bitcoin for little things like household chores and whatnot. This was my first time using Bitcoin, and I was shocked to

I don't think MySpace had a micro-blogging feature back in the day, so I think that'd be the first thing that I would add -- a micro-blogging feature for posting text, pics, and videos. Toss in some inspiration from SnapChat and m
