off topic, but Jonathan Ive looks really out of place on that page with all the others smiling... I wonder what they just told him?

I made my first trip to the US this week, Austin via Houston from UK to sxsw. I had read various reports on the state of entering America, but it was far worse than I expected. I tried to find info about visas, but it said I didn't need one

Friction on posting a review is a huge problem. On the flip side, you ask any of your friends "where's a good place to eat tonight?" no doubt they'll have a few reviews in them and promptly let you know some places you should try. I think t

I find their departure away from their usual logo styles pretty interesting. I like the logo, but it doesn't really say "google" to me. Maybe that's what they were intending http://cl.ly/053t0P2T1w441L3h3P0w

It's interesting that the trait of unmade decisions is framed in the context of stress. My experience on the flip side is that a couple of kids I went to school with, who have since been very successful, actually made decisions very quickly

Thanks for the feedback. Mentioned in the comments is having a couple of example users to try and get the concept across quicker. I'm also opening up the site designs for anyone to make ( http://qiip.me/create ) as there are much better d

Actually, I'm finding it a bit hard to get the concept across quickly. That's why I added the try now functionality. Do you think a video is worthwhile?

wow, thanks! makes a difference to hear it.

Thanks! Maybe Facebook pages might be better suited. It's on the list of services to hook up with though.

it's on the road map, but I'm not sure whether to add more services first or get domain names working...

Do you think that's an ok thing to do? I mean wouldn't Scoble have a right to be annoyed that I'm using his posts :) Certainly be adding some examples though, but here's mine for now http://qiip.me/edlea

I understand the motive and for sites like Etsy, charging to list certainly helps with some poor quality (it doesn't stop bad listings initially, but eventually when your stuff does not sell you don't come back). However, a lot of people ge

I agree with the sentiment of your comment, but being better than everyone else is not enough [1]. I'm sure there a lots of better alternatives to things you use in your life, but you're not using them because you never heard of them (mar

This deal is useless now But if you get 50gb for life surely it could come in handy later. I mean Ubuntu recently made moves to turn your Android device into your Desktop PC [1] and who knows how far this sort of thing could go in the nex

When I first saw the app, I thought I could take a photo of an outfit and it would return purchasing suggestions. So if I understand it, you take a bunch of photos, some fashion interns find places online where you can buy similar looking p

it's even more than that. they made (are making) the tools so accessible to everyone, that what was once considered a craft (fine tuning a $50,000 recording desk) has now been reduced to a few settings on an $800 laptop. That's just way of

Since os 8.something I've always felt that my mac is a workhorse. It's like I've had to have a mac, I a professional designer damnit. But this update feels like it's creeping towards a heavily consumer facing product. My workhorse is being

Mine is mostly work focused too. i always found that if I forget a task while I'm out, then I'd equally forget to look on my phone for outstanding tasks. Shopping lists are just pen/paper. And if it's important enough, I trust my brain with

nice work. I think you could tune this a bit more to pick the right colours for the right elements, bad contrast and clashing colours sometimes appear. but nice effort, bookmarked :)
