   This is one of the most radical changes I've ever seen in a website- it seems like it would have made more sense to add it as a an option, and slowly make it the default. At the very least, they should have had a ton of tooltips all over t

   While I am sure many people have weak passwords, I am not convinced that the RockYou passwords are exactly a microcosm of the current state of password strength. RockYou always seemed somewhat scammy, so I would say it's possible many peopl

   I love both Om and pg, so this should be an interesting discussion.

   The problem with this article is that the author is basing ownership of the company on things arguably irrelevant to the actual company- qualifications rather than contributions. For example, his partner may have equal qualifications. But

   This is a bit unrelated, however I once heard a quote regarding co-founders: "Even when there are multiple founders, somebody is in charge" Co-founders don't necessarily mean "equals." You can have co-founders that are less involved than y

   The hardest part about using any of these products is getting employees to switch over- I have found that if you don't use them from the start, employees will never adapt to them. Any time a startup I worked for decided to use a product si

   I need to make a to-do list (on paper, preferably) of the specific things that I need to get done Then, I do them in order. Doing them in order is important- otherwise, I'll waste time procrastinate by trying to figure out what I should do

   Now all they need to do is have Wolfram|Alpha solve it and convert the work back into handwriting.

    It's not hard for a relatively big name event to sell out of $500-$1,000 tickets. Many companies buy tickets for employees, to either learn or to hawk their product.

    Windows 7 had a ton of these: - Dragging to the side/top of the screen - Being able to drag a window away from the top of the screen without minimizing it first - Preview of windows when running your mouse over the task bar - Desk

    Twilio is one of the best startups I've seen or used- they have a brilliantly simple and useful product. You can do a ton with it, it's cheap, and it's all done using dead simple XML. Look through the rest of their blog- there's a ton of g

    I'm not sure about the legality of Grooveshark (it's run by a legitimate company, and they comply with any takedown notices- so, it's like linking to YouTube), however here it is: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Everybody+S+Free+To+We

    Sure, you can launch. But then what? You still have nothing but time. You can set milestones, and releases. However, since there will never be a "shipped" or "finished" product, many startups end up having no direction. After all, they

    I feel this is extremely relevant to startups. Most startups have no "end"- at least Duke Nukem had a goal ("release"). With startups, they really just go on forever. No startup will ever be finished, and it is far too easy to just keep

    I found it odd that there was no conclusion or summary- it just ended. It was a great read with a lot of great advice, however I felt it ended in an anticlimactic way.

    I was lucky enough to see him speak a few years ago, and he said that each video took him about 8 hours. He would record a line, add it to the video (or rerecord as necessary), and then move on to the next line. So, if anything, it made th

    I've always found deadlines are a great way to get things done. My biggest problem is that projects tend to seem never ending, which is a huge turnoff for me. You can try self-imposed deadlines, but those rarely work for me. I prefer real
