Nobody thinks that having four icons indicates that they finally made the smaller iPod Shuffle-based iPhone? There was speculation last year that they were looking at a smaller lower-priced entry iPhone with limited features based on the Sh

In the comments a viewer had a good observation: this trader makes his money as a speaker, and fear mongering probably helps his bottom line. That said, I live in Europe/Spain and I'm perfectly aware that A) a bailout of Spain would be near

This link was really insightful - worth watching the movie. I usually try to avoid strong opinions when it comes to this sort of thing because my own service relies on Facebook. However, I agree 100% that Facebook and increasingly other sit

well, would just really simplify your front page - I get info overload looking at the top 30% of the first screen - two menu bars and an adwords advert. I would also take the adwords off when you start, just to reduce clutter and because yo

Goodluck - others have experimented with this but I don't know of any existing service right now. There's a great novelty factor involved with a "email-to-signup" flow but I agree that that's a bit awkward for many users. One cool idea is a

I think this is a great list for daily, mid-level inspiration. I use Dribbble and it's great. But true, ground-moving inspiration comes from within and usually springs from your personal depth of experience.

Yeah - Oodle runs Facebook Marketplace right now which classifieds-wise is competing with Ebay. I wonder if FB+Ebay means that Oodle is out in favor of some larger deal. Although, maybe Ebay is buying Oodle and taking over marketplace- tha

I like that the new ecosystem relies more on HTML/Javascript, but there's a steep learning curve in regards to this new WinRT environment. Also, database and API connectivity seems like it should be improved. Because they're building basica

Do what the US government has already attempted - create a fund that refinances your debt (mortgage or otherwise) and therefore lowers your monthly payments.

Actually, plenty of Californian companies make money from day one, so I don't see two examples from Chicago overriding hundreds of examples from California. Why do people like writing something that sounds good, rather than something factu

Exactly - the standard is if the registered art resembles past art in the eyes of a discerning citizen (normal, non-technical person) and of course that's up for interpretation. Apple will have to fight this region-by-region and they wont w

Well, the "end of the corporation" has been predicted (as a fad) many times post WWII, and I think it's an error to assume that the corporation will be substituted for some form of "wikinomics". Corporations will always be needed to mobiliz

>> Most product teams don’t know if they are making their product better or worse; that’s why customers feel a twinge of fear every time they have to update or upgrade. CORRECTION: that's why most PRODUCT TEAMS also feel a twinge of

Me too, although I think that contracts are only worth how much money you're willing to spend to defend them with lawyers, court costs, etc. Good customer service gets you out of most predicaments, so I review the contract but spend more ti

Questions of faith and religion aside, my heart goes out each year to these families that lost loved ones on Sept. 11th. I will always remember sitting there watching it all unfold on TV, or how one of our parents called early AM to wake us

Good video because although it just uses text, the info comes quickly and is engaging. Interesting idea about continuing the same YC growth rate through 2015, but I can see now why you have a system for managing your time in terms of readin

Thanks for this comment. Humans certainly are predisposed to equality, but it might better be termed as "reciprocity". You may have read a very famous book by Jared Diamond called "Guns, Germs and Steel" which won the '98 Pulitzer in nonfic

If they sold that tie-down kit in the Apple Store I would buy it. How many people do they employ just for these security measures?

Really funny stuff - in the second video (best one hands down - "I'm pooring ice water on my face!" haha) Balmer reminds me of John Belushi's character in "Animal House" mixed with Jason Biggs' main character in "American Pie".

I've done my fair share of travel and bed bugs are the one scourge that makes me cringe - even good hotels have them in some places (I'm looking at you Venice, Italy!) If they travel back to your house with you it'll probably be almost impo

I had similar experiences in the Sacramento area, but almost exactly one decade after you (probably ten years younger) - the idea that stings me the most is the "door to inexpensive public education" being slammed shut - I've got to say tha

They mention sketching as a form of rapid prototyping, and I do a lot of that. But lately I use a program called Balsamiq Mockups to sketch out my prototypes. Does anyone have a better system (or software) to recommend?

They didn't emphasize this much in the article, but the number one practical step towards achieving your goals, to start, is to write them down and post them where you can see them.

A fresh start is great - clear the decks and boil your life down to what's most important - namely your ideas, hard work, inspiration, friendships, relationships, etc (in no particular order). In terms of more standard advice for moving thi
