   Thanks for the article fat_tony - it was well-written and inspirational. Regarding the fluffiness comments - sometimes it's good to read the same message over and over again until it sinks in or your mind finally gets it. I look forward to

   Increased leverage of the individual. The information age (post-industrial) doesn't need the same labor inputs to achieve the same wealth creation as before. While this is great for individuals on the right side of the digital divide, we'l

   I think John Rockefeller said it best: "I'd rather turn my business associates my friends than my friends into business associates."

   What's interesting to me is that we're in a constant war between the technologies used by governments to control their people and the technologies used by people to uproot their governments. There's a post below about mesh networking, I ca

   All my reading history across various channels. I think I read news in Hacker News, Instapaper, twitter and Google Reader. I have on many occasions said "I just read this cool article, let me find it for you..." only to spend 20-30 minute

    Good point on the cherry-picking of staff members. I could definitely see Google releasing something like Google Me based on their Gmail and if they did something like Buzz, you'd have your entire company (Google App domain) in the open. I

    Embrace constraints :) I have linked to another page or perhaps to an Evernote document which is what I used to use for todolists (but their formatting was painful occasionally). Agreed though, that if they're going to allow notes, the note

    I'm really loving Workflowy. Next killer feature: sharing sublists with someone else. That would be the killer todo list app!

    Why the downvotes? I consider the wanton use of Google Apps also dangerous for startups who may be competing in a space that Google is curious in. I don't believe that Google would read through anyone's emails (mostly because I'm comforta

    I'm primarily a Linux/OSX developer and use Ruby for most of my web stuff - but I have to admit, for anything desktop related or dealing with a lot of Windows clients (remote installation of services etc) Windows really takes the cake. JRu

    I'm always amazed at the breadth and depth of Feynman's genius. My favorite story of Feynman is his calculation of the size of the first nuclear explosion and then driving to just a few miles outside the blast radius (much closer than his

    Thanks for the information - amazing what they've gotten accomplished already with the Kinect. I found this thread to be a pretty good summary of Kinect progress into 3d-scanning. http://groups.google.com/group/makerbot/browse_thread/threa

    What are good resources for looking into converting photos into 3d object models? I'm really impressed by Shapeways but would like to take current real-world objects as a base rather than building them in a 3D tool etc. I've seen the laser

    I agree with 3D printing - shapeways.com really changed my mindset about what is possible in the 3D printing space as a public mainstream endeavor. Once the tools to help amateurs create 3D objects become more mainstream, I think we'll see

    This is brilliant. I think people here can rail against addictions to WoW while lurking/posting on HN for hours a day. It's all part of the same addiction for points/prestige/social validation. "Posting all these years to get higher karma

    Thanks to government regulation, it's become so onerous to do an IPO to the public that the little man is effectively left out of these opportunities. My guess is it won't be long until secondmarket comes under SEC regulation and catering t

    I personally think dividends are a much more sane way to invest than stock price alone. It seems to me that AAPL or GOOG are "priced" by investors mostly based on archaic ties to dividend models when in fact, it's really just hoping that s

    Check out this todo-list called workflowy.com. I think it adds two things to the todo-list genre: - Allows infinite depth. This is possible in Word but not many other apps, however, I find my task-list to require atleast 4-5 levels of dep
