You can't argue with the video. We need a blog like this where 3 year olds try to use software, hardware, or websites. That'll be fun.

If we follow your logic, Felix, we would've not built that capsule you jumped from, or those cameras that followed you, or that control station that monitored you or nothing as a matter of fact. And how is your jump teaching anything about

I see. It seems to me the advantage of using bootstrap is that the final product has a look and feel that's familiar to twitter users. Therefore, it's implicitly comfortable and intuitive to use. Thanks Niel and good luck with kenHub

Thanks for the detailed list. I have many follow ups but I don't wanna bother you much so I narrowed it down to two: 1- What percentage is Twitter Bootstrap driving your UI? In other words was it just a plug and play or did you have to over

Kudos to the dev team. I like the web, sound and animation of the site/demo. Very clean. Do you mind sharing your dev stack and tools?

+1 for the coding effort. However, generally speaking, stories are anchored in time and don't need live changes. Think of a birthday, marriage, or graduation for example. He's selling point is wrong. This should be more targeted to niche

Quick tip: skip directly to page 4. Start reading from "The indomitable iPad". All you need to know thus far is that windows has been, for better or worse, mainly relying on a complex cluster fuck called COM. i have a headache. I am going

I am guilty of that as well. When I am passionate it usually mean that I want to scratch an itch. But now I think that passion is something that comes after you put a lot of effort on the subject matter. BTW, I submitted Cuban's post to H

As was intrigued by that uncommon advice "don't follow your passion, follow your effort" but after I read Mark Cuban's post I'd say he's right. What do you guys think? Link to blog post: http://blogmaverick.com/2012/03/18/dont-follow-your

I don't agree that the industry is saying that ideas are worthless. Let's not forget that the "no idea" entry in the last batch of YC funding was experimental, which I am curious to find out what came out of it and what were the results. A

This is an interesting article. In an ad driven startup ecosystem, we forget that landing a brand relationship is hard and takes a long time. Even mastodons like Facebook and Twitter need a huge amount of time to land those deals. I am ques

I would personally pay $15-$20 if need be. And A/B testing on the prices won't be fair to the B category. Don't you think :)

Brilliant. What was your major set back from day 0 till now and how did you overcome it? I am asking you because I need some inspiration here. When I usually hit couple of set backs I tend to demoralize and give up.

Hmmm ... I personally think it's overpriced. Your initial users will probably be technology startups who can easily hack an HTML pitch deck. They can even use a blogging platform and there are a bunch of JS libraries that gives powerpoint

You surely understand that the description is a caricature of social media use. I am not saying, you or I have that experience but the point that I was making is that the majority of Facebook users, the teens and early 20s, as you're point

Let me finish that story for you ... Jane is embarrassed for couple of weeks. Jane realizes that she's not the first one in the world who lied about going to a party. A month later no one gives a damn about the story. Jane doesn't understa

Why do we overcomplicate our analysis of social media and web 2.0? We all got on Facebook because it was new, it was fun, we shared pictures, we poked each other, we implicitly pried on our friends. Some of us got on Google+ because we were

I think product visionary is not a full time job. You don't work out a vision with a pen and paper. Product visions are like good ideas, they always hit you when you are doing something completely different.

The time translation is dead on. Just a caveat. In my last job I used to give the actual time estimate and the PM was always frustrated because I was always estimating more that my colleagues. I am a literal person, which always gets me in

I understand where you're coming from. PASSION (with capital letters) is important. PASSION for programming is what got me to get a BA and MA in computer science. It's what makes me sit in front of my computer working on side projects whe

Yesterday's post was closer to the actuality of a programmer than this one. To reiterate what I said yesterday, when you are coding professionally, you don't choose what technologies to use, you don't pick projects that itch your creative

Finally an article that tells it like it is. A word to the commenters trying to disparage the author. I am sure wherever you live, in la la land, you wake up smiling, sipping your coffee, checking tech blogs, dev sites, spending couple of
