My GOD this is killing me. Apparently just because tech companies are advertising during the superbowl we MUST be in the midst of a tech bubble? WTF? Groupon is, by all appearances, STUPIDLY profitable. This isn't pets.com raising millions

I've found that for these type of folks it has absolutely NOTHING to do with money. It has everything to do with competition. I don't know Judd Weiss, but I'll promise you that he's intensely competitive. Money is just how he keeps score.

This applicant I suppose. What about the next 50? I'd grow REALLY tired of trying to parse through all of it.

In my experience that sort of thing has rarely turned out well for me. There really is something to the concept of anchoring. When you throw out $45-$65 their going to anchor on the $45 and now you have to move them off of that. Although I

Some couple in Vegas would be $50k richer in about 5 minutes I'd think. 1. setup profiles and 'meet' each other 2. Chapel of love 3. Profit!!! :) I wonder if you'd get enough attention before that inevitably happened...

They're not trying to convert you, they're trying to convert the millions of people who haven't invested in an iPad yet (the vast majority of the population really).

It's been awhile since I've had anything professionally taken, but previously I've never had any trouble finding a photographer unwilling to assign copyright with a bit of wrangling. I've never paid extra, but I have been quite adamant that

Really Apple has been very consistently moving the goal posts according to whatever the feel is in their (and only their) best interests.

Serious question: Is it within the terms to charge extra to make the 30% back?

That last part is key here. Almost everything that the iPhone does existed before the iPhone. You can find most of the UI concepts throughout the old Palm app eco-system. Apple did a great job of bringing it all together and (most important

While I don't really agree with Google here, I don't think that distinction particularly matters. If you buy the premise that they're "stealing" from Google then it equally applies to everyone.

I can't speak for Flickr, but I can tell you that one of their larger competitors simply does a logical delete. That seems to take care of any legal obligation. I should note that this not true in the case of child porn. Once the feds give

I would most definitely say that. I've hired from corporate cultures far more rigorous than Microsofts (Samsung springs to mind) with great results. A smart engineer who can get things done is a strong engineer regardless of where they've c

To be fair, Android is really just a better implementation of the Symbian model (which was/is also crazy successful).

I think that you might be on to something. There are some disciplines that are much less competitive for jobs/tenure (like accounting). From the outside at least, it sure seems like there is a lot less internal politicking going on.

I'd be interested to hear you elaborate on that. I keep hearing comparisons to the tech bubble (particularly around LinkedIn's IPO), but I'm having trouble seeing the parallels.

I'll lend my anecdotal experience here as well. I was the fourth employee at a startup (that is still going strong nearly 10 years later). Pretty early on we were forced into a major pivot which saw us make the transition from Palm OS to Sy

Although their smart-phones (which predate the iPhone by many years) have had commercial success world wide that would make any manufacturer extraordinarily jealous.

I think the poster was trying to say something I fundamentally agree with: There is something noble (and important) in providing jobs. As a business owner the thing I'm most proud of is now what we make, but the families that can afford a h

It would be to me. Leadership isn't just a procses...it's a vision. It may very well be that somewhere inside of Apple there is someone equal to Steve Jobs in terms of vision, determination, and smarts. That's not likely, however. Companies

I'll second this. The Kinect, in particular, is my invention of the year. I've had it for two months now and the freaking menu in dance central STILL doesn't get old. Just moving through that menu is the single most tactile thing I've ever

That's what makes this stuff so tough, tho. How many folks on that plane are in the midst of a personal emergency of their own? From my experience, it's rarely zero. Maybe someone on that flight is going to miss a connection to see their mo

Android is perfectly capable of competing on it's own merits. The idea that the iPhone is the phone to end all phones is a very HN-centric idea. Android has been competing quite favorably with the iPhone in hundreds of other markets that la

Most countries are very far from being bankrupt. We haven't been in a recession in a quite some time (more than a year ago). While there are lingering concerns over a couple of specific countries, economic news has been mostly pretty bright

Isn't the form factor just terrible for that tho? It always seemed to me that Tablets are an excellent form for consuming information. Content creation, on the other hand, is best left to our laptops and keyboards that we already have. So a
