Replace "Singer" with "Gore" and I absolutely agree.

This blog seems polemical in nature. I've read Singer's Practical Ethics , and he isn't trivializing the hunger issue inadvertently; it is on purpose. When there is a serious situation involving a split-second decision of whether someone l

If they've already drawn the conclusion without asking questions, then perhaps it isn't worth the attempt at explaining it to them. At least not today. Maybe tomorrow.

The important thing is that he is going to be at the same level as those employees. He can ask them questions such as, "What needs improvement?" He's a bright guy so I would imagine he can figure out a way to make the employees feel comfort

Yes! This is what more CEOs of large companies need to do. If you are a CEO, you need to understand what is going on in the company first hand, not by playing whisper down the lane with the chain of command. (This is my philosophy, hopefull

Apparently starting a startup for startups is becoming a more and more popular post-sale activity.

I was pretty sure that anywhere.fm helped launch a pay service during the acquisition process. I wonder how that has contributed to help paying the bills?

There may be truth to this, however, I think the roles of the seed funding companies remains to be seen. The Philly venture for example seems to be different in that it pairs roles to create companies. I don't think this makes sense for our

xobni is awesome. I used it when I worked at a Fortune 500 company and kept recommending it to people. I pretty much only used the attachment and contact features though. Good luck to them!

I have seen many people comment about angel investing, and this is a valuable perspective. In particular I was happy to see him comment on the percentage of ownership to look for.

I think it says a lot to get through the first round at more than one organization. Even if you took the risk and declined the first offers and ended up with no offer, you gain confidence in your idea(s) and an ice breaker to angel investor

Sweet! Looks like you put a lot of work into this. More content probably needs to be added before you can see exactly how it will be useful to your audience. I would get rid of the ads for now and spend a bit more time reconsidering the use

It depends. But you will notice a huge difference in the reaction of someone who learns you went to Berkeley than if they learned you went to SF State or Irvine. Doesn't mean those schools are bad, people are just biased. A Computer Science

Answer to the last question: yes. I'm totally planning to take advantage of this service.

I think he would just come back and point to the increasing subscriptions. I guess this means that people are not only paying for monthly subscriptions but also using Hulu and iTunes.

I think he is well aware of the consumer's desires. According to Cuban subscriptions are increasing and the networks are reluctant to try another medium because as far as they are concerned, they are currently in the money channel (no pun i

This is just the nature of the software business. When I worked at CMU a good portion of the app I was working on was fixing bugs. The more complex the software, the higher the expectation that there will be bugs to fix (and unexpected beha

Building a big Internet site and providing the service for free is great. It isn't impossible to do that and be successful. But why not have services that users pay for in addition to the free content? Surely there are some services where

I hope that bet is right. Even so, there must be a way to avoid this kind of response. Sometimes debate to get into the news is good, but I think in this case it would make more sense to have the response be "Facebook releases awesome int

He's applying labels which is never good. Startups have a huge range and aren't necessarily just people who are living on ramen hoping to strike it big. I think this is a huge misconception in fact. While there are people out there who are

Notable complaints: beacon, ToS, this. Beacon was a terrible idea. They shouldn't have backed down from the ToS because it would have blown over. 'this' remains to be seen.

My comment shouldn't be taken literally. The point is that even if the poll is "worthless" or grossly inaccurate (it is a poll after all, not a scientific study), there is clearly discontent among the users. I've heard people in real life,

Don't use facebook, but when I hear about things like this I am baffled. Haven't any of these engineers taken human factors courses? One of my brothers works for Honda, and I asked him about the ergonomics of car design. His response: at Ho

Yes, good job! It makes sense if this is a basic package and the company plans to scale in the future, but if not then it is hard to distinguish between all of the "offline your files" products. What's worse is if there is convergence (e.g.

I can't count how many times we've put together a site and at some point the signup feature had some kind of problem. Out of curiousity, what was the specific bug if you don't mind me asking?

This is reminiscent of Hofstadter's desire for a book of reviews of itself ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Hofstadter#Columnist ). Wikipedia tries to keep its integrity, but I think sometimes they need to be more reasonable. Someone
