I agree with a lot of people here. This is clearly a direct result of the harsh public backlash they've faced from the community. This statement can only be taken at face value until they do much more than post a public statement rescinding

This is class warfare just not by standard definition. It's not the proletariat vs the bourgeoisie. It's Apple vs. PC. Sure the phones are the same price... but we all know that the perception is that the cool kids use Apple these days, and

The best content came out of the Q&A at ~69m. A guy asked two questions: (1) how do you find the angle about what to publish content about and (2) when do you start publishing content to get inbound traffic? Rand responded: He goes to t

The conclusions the author draws are very similar to the conclusions the I/O Psychology community has proven scientifically. The best predictor of future performance is IQ and sample work product. Period.

It distinctly asks at the top "What do you want to learn today?" and then gives you three options: Web Design, Web Development, or iOS (btw, it should say iOS Development not just iOS). That's enough to make any user realize they're a site

Based on this competition [1] it seems that their business model is different subscription packages. The Gold package, for example, is supposedly $588 per year. [1] http://thinkvitamin.com/asides/guess-this-badge-and-win-a-fr...

Even though I see what MG is trying to do here, I don't agree that the botched release somehow reveals a bigger pattern at Google. It's a big company doing a lot of things and it's going to have flops along the way. At least they're open an

Yeah but you should still at least respond to people. I mean, why not? It's a win-win. Candidates at least find out and you look good by showing you care enough to get back to them.

I know this is cliche... but start it yourself. I have found that potential partners are much more impressed with people taking an initiative and getting things done on their own. They want to work with go-getters and leaders, not people si

A great question. The only thing I can think of is starting at a high price and then lowering it slowly. You definitely want to do some split testing to see which plan pages get you the highest conversions, too.

Instead of a dropdown, make it a radio menu that changes on click. It'll make it more usable!

Regarding the Google Flu trend, a Wired magazine article talked about how Google could identify the location of flu outbreaks before the CDC could solely because of search ( http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/06/ff_sergeys_search/all/... )

Apart from just being able to search by drawing (cool concept in it of itself), the practical purpose would obviously be the reverse: looking at the graph of any search query. But obviously they will never release that :)
