You need to do this http://leanstartupmachine.com/ I did one in London and they made me get out on the street, stop people and talk to them. Uncomfortable? yes. Eye opening? yes. In 3 days we made an mvp, got out and sold product. Literal

This is also a problem with movies. On my Apple TV it seems to stream movies, but if I want to watch the same movie on my iPad I have to have the correct amount of space left to download it first. This is one thing I like about Android/Goog

so a legal drug like alcohol is actually causing havoc in society, as you so vehemently point out... and you are advocation MORE drugs be made legal? Really look forward to a night out when a bunch of people are buying heroin in one bar, co

and my point is that smoking should not be legal, carrying weapons should not be legal, pot should not be legal. Drinking is difficult because there are reported health benefits as well and most of the world does not drink to excess. You ma

your sarcastic point doesn't change the fact that drugs destroy lives. Alcohol also destroys lives, so thanks for pointing that out.

Unlike recreational drugs, motorcycles are a useful tool that enables society to go about its business. Knives also enable me to prepare dinner and surgeons to remove my appendix. I don't think that class A drugs carry the same risk/benefit

Cigarettes would not be legal if they were invented today. I've seen first hand what years of pot smoking does to people, it's not worth it. Drinking to excess is a growing problem and one that should be tackled. I can't really understand w

They should have released two different products. Chat Heads and Facebook Home. I think Chat Heads looks like a strong product (only from referencing the videos though, I don't have it). Without Chat Heads, would Facebook Home have been rel

It doesn't matter how good you think you are or how much you think you already know - but if you are not learning something new every day, you're already behind the times. The thing with this industry is that it's moving ever faster. So rat

The PayPal horror stories are just the problems that people shout about and that go viral. In fact the problems with PayPal are much more wide spread. I'd say that PayPal got lazy because no one has challenged them. As a result they still h

I think people are starting to suffer from signup fatigue (even with just 3 boxes). Wherever possible, services should get right into the kernel of the experience and ask for registration later.

Everyone has the ability to be creative. Being creative has been part of human history for thousands of years. The problem is more often that people aren't empowered to think creatively. You often get handed a set of tasks to complete or in

One of the best talks on creativity I have ever heard. Worth a listen whether you're a designer, developer, writer etc This is an especially good video for managers to watch. In fact, it should be mandatory.

Developing electric cars is vital. As is providing charging stations and other infrastructure. Just because today we generate a lot of power from coal, gas, oil does not mean that in the future we will be 100% clean with renewables (!), nuc

One handed operation of this would be a nightmare. If there's one thing my Nexus 4 has taught me, it's that any kind of beveled edges pick up the base of your thumb (as a press) when reaching over with the tip of your thumb. (like when you

the problem is with the way they are selling tickets. All they've managed to do is tell a load of developers that Google Wallet is flakey. I don't know what they are so worried about that they give you 5 minutes to pay. The thing is going t

But some people will be on the road more often than others, so the likelihood of an incident will be different. I think it would be much better to add a premium onto the fuel the car uses and all claims would go to a central organisation. S

If it's about the asteroid Apophis, then the last I heard was that it won't be hitting earth (I can't see the video on that link for some reason, but the dates rang a bell). http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/home/Asteroid-Apophis-Ta...

fair enough, my comments were directed more towards these terms used in a project management context rather than where she actually used them. I would still argue that using them as part of marketing speak is doing something towards setting
