Time is money. The fact that this man came up with a product that customers want doesn't mean "Something is wrong with a society". I bike to work, if I used your logic I would think: "Something is wrong with a society" because most people

Errata? "Recently Paul Graham wrote an article about the merits of logical argument." Is March of 2008 recently? Shouldn't it be: "In 2008 Paul Graham wrote an article about the merits of logical argument."

The Idea is mostly have a machine that cleans and drys to save time. The whole multi basket idea is for storing dirty clothes -- not for storing clean clothes. Clean clothes would still need to be put away in drawers or hung up.

Once your clothes are dry you hang them as normal. The idea isn't a new way to store clean clothes. The main point of the idea is that you know when you need to do laundry (see through baskets) and you do it in one go (wash and dry).

This is too hard for me to implement by myself so I'm giving away this idea in hopes that some one runs with it. Well, I doubt anyone will, but what do you think of it? I've had the idea for quite some time now, I'm curious what you guys th

What I was thinking since you already have a customer base of teachers. You market directly them. You create a product where the teachers create flash cards (math, English, etc) . They then assign the cards to the students as home work. (Th

Wow, Thanks for sharing. Have you thought about going into e-flash cards, it seems like you would have an overlap in customers for this product? And it wouldn't be too much work to create.

The layout is good, however, I have one suggestion: Left align your text. Follow the advice of this book by Robin Williams: "Find a strong alignment and stick to it." "Avoid using more than one text alignment on the page (that is, don't cen

Completely agree, this article has it all wrong. "Originally the unit wasn’t selling well at all. So Apple dropped the price a few weeks after it launched, pissing off the early adopters of course. Why? Because me and Steve Ballmer were cor

Don't be mean, if you don't like his blog thats okay, but to say it "sucks" thats rude. By your definition I would assume you think: http://news.ycombinator.com is ugly and lacks the basic things digg has?

The reason I said hand writing is important is that it helps with situations such as: - 4 page long differential equations - 4 page long physics problems - physics lab (note book) - taking readable notes quickly My guess is that hand writin
