It's true. Apple's App store will never produce a Google, a Facebook, or a Twitter etc. The App store platform is designed so that its children will never compete with its parent. The App store reminds me of walking around a mall - it's mos

I believe in free trade for the most part: everyone doing what they do best. Focus on what you're good at. Design is serious trade that takes designers years to get good at. If you need a quick design then check out some free css template s

Love the design and the idea seems solid but my first priority would be to put up a video explaining how it works.. The pictures, while well designed and thought out seem a little laborious to click through.. My attention span on the web is

If it really is something very close to FB then I agree. After all, I don't really like the idea of 1 or 2 companies owning pretty much all there is to own in the tech space. It's too Orwellian.

I struggle with this question myself a lot. I'm in LA currently and instead of conversations about web startups in cafes - I hear managers talking to talent and hot new ideas for movie scripts.. Pretty cool but doesn't help with a web start

I completely agree. It's a novel concept it seems when you get paid for the hours you actually work instead of feeling pressured into doing so because that's what your peers are doing. I think people let it go far too often in the tech ind

I also enjoy working hard on challenging problems but I don't enjoy working that hard for free.

The main point I took away from this: Syncing to iTunes sucks. It's been broken for a long time and it's becoming more apparent with the release of the iPad. It's easily the most frustrating experience I've had managing my iDevices mainly b

I work with a small company with 5 employees. We wanted to go with some of the established players like webex or gotomeeting but found the pricing to be prohibitive and overly complex. I have not done the research but I can say that if we h

I had the same problem when searching for a WebEx alternative a little while back. Didn't really find anything viable. They all seem kind of Fortune 500ish with complicated pricing matrices and awful looking websites plastered with stock ph

If you can avoid colo I would. It's such a pain in the ass to remotely troubleshoot the servers when that one thing does go wrong with the hardware. I blogged about it here: http://teabuzzed.com/2009/08/the-number-one-reason-my-startu...

Joe Lieberman, the primary sponsor of the measure Is it any surprise that he's the primary sponsor? You can always count on Joe to be on the wrong side of history. An Internet kill switch is one of the worst and most authoritarian ideas I

You're the architect so you'd be the glue between the design team and implementation team. Ideally they are not the same people. For a programmer I'd start by farming out the project in pieces to a few different people to find the right per

So true. Also don't forget how many people actually major in information sytems in college. The whole industry is self perpetuated by overly complicated software. The more complicated the more they can milk their clients.. Such a waste.. Al

As long as they continue to improve mobile safari I'll be happy. Performance on it still doesn't match its desktop counterpart but it's definitely getting there. Only issue of course is little or no access to the hardware. On a desktop you'

I tend to to think of apps like Photoshop, Textmate, and Transmit and think "A recurring payment? No way." And yet somehow when I think of 37Signals, it doesn't seem so bad, but I can't put into words why one makes sense and not the other

It looks like Apple now represents a very real and serious competitive threat to Google's #1 money maker: ads. They now control a 3rd of the mobile market (iPads excluded) and are seemingly poised to continue this trend with the new iPhone

Everybody seems to be stuck on hand gestures and arm movement for the future, but while this looks cool I wonder just how comfortable it is to keep you arms waving about like that for hours on end. Also, it's hard to argue that 3D is always

We're working on something very related to what you're asking for. Will have a prototype up in about 1 month. Email me if you're interested in a beta code.
