Mailbox, the app I've yet to use gets acquired. How can an app like Mailbox make you mad? Here is how: I'm still waiting in the queue for over a month now to even try the app. Scarcity is the mental mind hack used to increase demand ( http:

My biggest f*ck up: When I worked for a financial institution my manager gave me a production level username and password to help me get through the mounds of red tape which usually prevented any real work from getting done. We were idealis

I think that everyone does this at some point in their career. Don't let this single event define you. The most important thing to ask yourself is what was the lesson learned...not only from your standpoint but also from the business'. In a

Its not only resourcefulness but the ability to know what pieces you need to build the project. That is harder to find by Googling.

Not surprised by 37 Signal's opinion as they've gotten remote to work because of their passion for creating tools that foster communication. For me, there are 2 ways to look at Yahoo's decision. One is they are flat out wrong, but thats OK,

In my research I came across what I think is the best explanation for the cause for violence in our society. I believe video games are just another symptom but not the cause and effect. "Of all crimes, those involving violence are most clos

Here are the facts: The app had a +4 rating which apple defines as "Apps in this category contain no objectionable material." Did 500px honor this rating? No. Also, they shouldn't have been surprised. The review right on their iTunes page l

Got 19 out of 20. I missed the Panasonic one. What I like most about Helvetica is the top of the t is flat rather than sharp and there is less stylizing overall. Arial, for me, breaks the philosophy of stylizing for stylizing sake. Helvetic

I don't know much about this system JSTOR, but you know with what you said about "scholarly articles dating back centuries" I'd expect them to have some costs associated with those efforts. Its not a popular way to raise money, yes, but who

Same thing here. I gave up and decided to go through D&B's website and filled out their forms last night. Got a call this morning. For $295 they can expedite the process and get you your number in 3 days or wait 30 - 45 days. This is co

Its a funny thing. When I read your comment I remember it saying exactly that on the Facebook Sign up page. Something along the lines of "Its free (and always will be)".

I think it's completely contextual. We call our users 'members' at Fotoblur, since we're a community. When I was in college working as a waiter one restaurant insisted we never call customers 'customers' but 'guests.'

Curious, I've heard many times now that by simply using Apples new mapping app it will get better when more people use it. I have yet to understand how that process works. Can anyone elaborate? Thanks.

I am glad to see designers pushing for the horizontal scroll. IMO, the everlasting vertical scroll always bothered me as unnatural. Kudos to MySpace for pushing the envelope on the redesign. My visits to Facebook won't be the same ;).

'Extreme example' vs 'real example' ...hmmm, did I interpret the article incorrectly in that it was a hypothetical where mine was my own experience. Thanks for calling me a 'worse employee' too. Guess I won't be getting a job at tinyco any

Okay, now a real example: Gabriella is only able to explain the technical stuff because Rodrigo explained it to her first. Her summary is the watered down version, so more people understand her. She doesn't quite get the details anyway. Mos

Great article and admittedly is how I feel sometimes as well. The day I heard of the $1B Instagram acquisition was a cloudy day for me since I also founded a photo social network over 4 years ago that is humming along slowly. In Thinking Fa
