The title is a bit sensationalist in my opinion... A slip of 0.3% month over month could be due to a lot of different factors. I'm sure Google is keeping its eye on Bing, but it doesn't seem like a reason to panic. Am I off the mark with th

I think Jaiku is the more apt comparison, for what it's worth.

This makes a ton of sense to me. Users already trust Google with search and connecting people with airlines has baked-in revenue. This also has tremendous advertising potential. Imagine if local restaurants could target ads at people who wi

Not entirely sure how you're equating Google Wave and Twitter.

I loaded this and thought, "What's the big deal?" I'm sure many people, on many different browsers/platforms/resolutions, thought the same exact thing, which is what makes it so brilliant.

As someone who has always wanted to learn to code, but never set the time aside to teach myself I resonated with this kick in the pants. At some point you have to stop making excuses and do it. I might not agree that google will teach every

Thanks for the advice. I honestly hadn't thought of securing commitments prior to developing a prototype. But it's definitely better to find out if people are willing to buy prior to investing a substantial amount, if possible.

Haha... I will say "mock up" from now on. Thanks! (My dragon would probably end up looking like a fire breathing cow anyway) Great advice about securing customers first. If you can't do that it's probably not worth either of your time.

Just out of curiosity, what would you advise these people who have ideas, but aren't technically proficient, to do? Is there a correct way to approach someone? Should they prepare something before talking to you to show they are serious (ma

I guess there wouldn't be any incentive for weaker players to bet if they were guaranteed to lose money every game! I find that issue with chess... I'm better than my friends (who have only played a handful of times) but get smoked online o

The author stated, "Third, a good competitive game should test a player’s skills and minimize the element of chance or luck. Ideally, the probability of a weak player defeating a good player should be as close to zero as possible." Do you t

My exponential curve beginning in 2010 yielded "dubstep download." I guess we know what the kids are listening to these days.

That's true, I suppose. But in a perfect world, I don't think universities should just be signing off that you understand a subject. They should be promoting the growth of their students. In my opinion, one shouldn't leave university the sa

I like the story of Airbnb's "Obama O's." I just read about it today. Respect for the hustle. - http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/03/airbnb.html

That's exactly right. It doesn't seem right that one can receive credit hours for knowledge previously held. The only value added by GWU in that instance is some form of verification/certification. It seems more appropriate that if you alre
