Every time something like this comes out, I feel us taking a step away from "video camera mounted on a robot where the eyes should be" and a step toward real perception. I always wonder though, if a computer can one day recognize all differ

Also, I do not believe the knowledge of a specific need and the method of satisfying that need is what the startup sells. If that were the case, any big company could legally recreate what twitter or facebook does. Rather, I think the real

Like any strong company, Microsoft needs to acknowledge and act upon new trends, not theorize and hope that markets will adjust and have a space open for their Oldies-but-goodies products. If Microsoft wants to stay relevant, they need to h

I don't think this writer has much opposition to the sale of a company itself, but the attitude with which many founders are creating their companies. I think he's using recent results to establish that usual pretense for many startup is no

At first glance, it seems this guy is basically just describing the markets and calling traits problems. Obviously you need to invest in a company before its popular for it to be a good investment. A company with a fully stable profit won't

I'm not sure this guy is fully grasping the idea that Gladwell was pushing across. I don't think the point was that 10,000 hours is a magic number to strive for in order to become an expert (although he does say that persistently), rather h

The real difference I see between google and twitter is space and focus. Google had room on their clean results pages to place ads, and they also had users that were used to skimming and overlooking a lot of the text on the page anyway. Ads

I think this is cool and interesting, but we should approach these biological energy solutions with caution. Body-powered gadgets are the sort of thing every 8 year old imagines he or she can create and mass produce, but I think homeostasis

I don't think many venture capital firms work precisely in the way this man describes. VC's aren't stupid, and they wouldn't do anything to actively limit their scope of companies to invest in. Every VC looks around for fresh ideas. I think

If he makes himself, he'll be big. If he's pushed into the spotlight and commanded "make math!" by professors and societies, he'll never be more than a cool gem we found that makes some interesting patterns when the light hits it just right

I don't know if the EU is taking the right approach. I don't personally see how this kind of deadline will nudge anyone along. Perhaps it will let car manufacturers know that their Britain division will not do as well in 2050 if they do not

Gotta love the banter on other forum sites. Its interesting how anyone operating on high school chemistry and some internet research is an "expert" in this forum. The threshold prerequisites for pretention have really decreased in the info-

I always just assumed that evolutionarily, pain=bad for me and happy=good for me. It makes sense that emotional strife elicits actual pain, or it wouldn't help condition our minds to avoid sadness.

This is pretty interesting. It seems we struck gold with the invention of the internet if information is as important and fundamental as this author says it is. I am hesitant to buy in though, as I still see information as the thing which d

A few weeks ago I decided that all common life lessons are only notable because they are unintuitive, go directly against millions of years of human development. Don't judge a book by its cover, don't count your chickens before they hatch,

I think this programmer shows a little more depth than assuming that everyone shares his lack of use of these tools. I don't think he was trying to tell photoshop that they don't need such a large breadth of tools, he was telling programmer

If any programmer thinks they can pull off a solid VC investment without excessive research and data supporting their product's potential for success, they may as well just sell their code off to someone more informed. You're as necessary a

One can argue that good code is good code no matter where it comes from, but I think this guy should hire an engineer with whom he can discuss the big picture stuff and can edit when the outsourced code returns. Engineers are useful for the

Great example of a company which established a strong user base and a comfortable format to ease in new users. I don't think this article is indicative of twitter's over-rated status in popular culture, I see it as good establishment withi

The problem is the claim that this page suggests no acts of violence toward the Israeli people. In fact, I'd imagine the israeli government would be quite alright with what it believed to be a peaceful palestinian rally. I don't believe the

Don't be coy please, anti semitism is a real issue. The first and second intifadas involved bus bombings and other constant acts of terror so yes, I believe this page calls for violence. Also, I imagine you would agree that a country shoul

They'd still have ambiguity in ad sales revenue. And if this development is as profitable as this guy claims, I don't think twitter will be concerned about how accurately people can value their company. The price will tend toward actual wor

While this person would be willing to pay for twitter, giving a payable, better option, would make much of the user base feel like they're paying for something they should have and always have had for free. Blogging and microblogging have a
