Thanks for this. I had the exact same thought when I read it. After a brief moment of offense. I think I could write an essay or several on the ridiculous misconceptions I hear going around in some circles, and this is one of my favorites

There's also the (insulting) concept that many of these folks seem to have, which is: Did it never cross your mind that a lot of us spend the bulk of our free time developing our own ideas? For the majority of Idea Man pitches I've spent t

That's kind of a can of worms. On one hand, you probably wouldn't be noticed for not suing people for the name. No one would really have the opportunity to appreciate your benign decision to not engage an exclusivity to your trademark. On

Leena, http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8... As you can see, you have published numerous articles on this company with a blatant formula to your titling strategy. If I may offer some constructive criticism, I wou

No, I believe that I do get what you're saying. I just don't agree that the message preaches magical thinking. It very clearly depicts a process of deciding on a goal, and focusing your efforts (actual efforts) to obtaining that specific

I think you'll find that the article is saying: decide on your goals, be determined and work hard to obtain them, and quitcher bitchin'. I didn't discover any mention of magic.

I don't want to be overtly negative here, but this document is a philosophical terror. I recognize that you wrote it out of inspiration and tried to encapsulate it to an abbreviated timeframe, but where you seem to want to espouse productiv

Thanks for posting this. There was a lot of care in delivering this product. As others have pointed out, this is so compellingly done that you could legitimately expect to pay for it. But no, it's open sourced - thank you very much for th

I don't feel like you've done any research on this. There is also the possibility that you are faulting Google for not making creation applications, because you don't acknowledge other participants in the venue which work very well on Chrom

This is interesting to me. How can I put this as diplomatically as possible? I'm glad that there is a culture like this out there. It espouses productivity and gives a real view as to what folks will do in order to try their hand at a ser

I can't help but think this blame mentality is the root of a lot of problems with the intended discourse, here. The issue at hand isn't whether or not Facebook has the power to do this, but rather that the system is intrinsically moronic in

Not only that, but they've used this same buzz word formula in almost the same exact context something like a week ago, except it was about Apple carrying Square readers in their stores. Edit: http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/16/square-apple

Seconded. I would add something about "(i) Killer" posts, too. Almost anything by TechCrunch, since I've been aware of them, has been fluff along these lines. Sensationalist garbage.

So an extremely user-friendly, tremendously low-bar entry-level direct-to-consumer device, built primarily for easy web productivity, is outstripping a system known for its tremendous ability to intimidate the computer illiterate, in the te

Also, why does everything get called a "Killer"? Not only is the terminology getting beaten into the ground (see "solution" in the early 2000s), it's rapidly becoming associated with products that are flat, and could never hope of dethronin

You used the word properly. In addition, your response smacks of philosophical irony. Further, I think it's ironic that even people who champion the proper use of ironic, don't know what it genuinely signifies. I'd love to say it's also un

I'm extremely relieved to see so many posts mirroring my exact impression from this article. Here we have a splendid reference as to the power of words to illicit an emotion, with no real effort to craft an argument of any substance.

I think we like to let our imagination and the vision of all the possibilities it brings us take reign, and that is good. Because of that, I can definitely throw a handful of monetary speculations into the air concerning this service. To g

The nature of the Father of Linux being, in essence, an enraged (often insightful) crusader is just a point of pride for a lot of people who know about him and like Linux.

This is just evidence of the failure of the Facebook ad platform. With the sheer abundance of data that Facebook commands, this should not be the case.

Do you mean, because they have no ability to compete, they should have made a move to eradicate superior platforms before it became obvious that their ad product is a waste of money?

Competition proves the market. Why are you disappointed to learn that other people might have the same idea? It means it's worth pursuing if more than one person is doing it, right? Just add your own flavor, and have integrity and faith
