I remember last year when Kony 2012 blew up for a couple days, they switched their site to static s3 pages to handle the traffic and collect donations. I thought it was pretty clever.

I think it is a little unfair to oversimplify the Ouya to just indicating "people were indeed interested in a cheap console that plays phone games on their TV." In addition, one of Ouya's biggest draws was its openness which

I don't think digital goods / things that are very cheap on the margin really subscribe to the same laws of supply and demand. For example, most people would probably agree piracy drives the price of photoshop up for the people th

I think Nicholas Carr made an interesting distinction in The Shallows about the usefulness of tools in the context of short and long-term memory (interesting even if I feel ambivalent about it): "In freeing us from the work of remember

I feel like it is a little unfair comparing the number of years someone is sentenced and going to jail for and the number of years someone could go to jail for if they are found guilty and receive the max sentence. (Perhaps people don'

In Once You're Lucky. Twice You're Good by Sarah Lacy, she humorously recounts Max Levchin learning English from TV: He’d worked so hard to be perfect—what could he possibly have done wrong? It wasn’t a feeling he was used to. “Where did y

Obviously the article is written for fun, but for those interested Douglas Adams' answer to why 42 was: "The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary rep

I strongly disagree that Evernote has too many features, but I think the main disconnect is I don't consider a feature synonymous with a use case. Sure there are a million use cases some of them better than others, but that is because they

Pretty cool. Just to try it out I uploaded a random picture from my desktop which happened to be somewhat large so navigating was somewhat awkward. It would be nice if you could zoom in/out.

What about all the victims of our gun/weaponized culture? Maybe the move away from violence is a blessing. To be honest, I don't think she's that much thinner if at all in the after image excusing the fact that the before image is enlarged

I acknowledge this is slightly off topic, but the culture of attacking industries seems somewhat problematic for similar reasons. Passing unfriendly restrictions and higher and higher taxes on oil companies, doesn't really help solve the p

The author seems to believe we should adopt a literacy about games very similar to one used when evaluating literature. I think this is incredibly misguided, because they're entirely different mediums (or at least should be). In Steven Jo

Well I think the lesson here is don't embark on an ambitious radical strategy without first doing some testing/sampling.

After you click on a comment, I found closing the comment pane less simple than it could be. The x to close it is fairly small and hidden, and I think it would be nice if clicking on the comment bubble again just toggled it away and/or cli

And obviously most advertisers don't want to be associated with inappropriate content. I remember in moot's TED talk he briefly alluded to the problem.

I feel like the author somewhat contradicts himself when he implies the poor ghetto types will never be innovators but says the rest of us are all blinded from the "very real problems that the rest of humanity faces." If you really felt th

Wow that's fairly insulting and not really an appropriate comparison at all. Peter Keating was anything but an arrogant egoist, and he bent over backwards to please the people he dealt with (his superiors at least)

I think it is worth mentioning that in addition to the $900 million in cuts required from the sequester since the sequester has gone into effect, Congress has proposed cutting their funding an additional $300 million this year. Therefore,

I agree to a point but don't think 1% is too accepting. In many ways I think the top 1% of TEDx talks exceed the quality of some traditional TED conference talks, because they typically are doing it solely because of the idea as oppose to

You can email in links to Instapaper and then have them delivered to your Kindle. You can even have Instapaper batch them together for you and deliver them at certain times.

Yes. I hate when they have a recently released book and the talk is basically just to promote it, and then often if you read the book it has no additional material.

I don't mean to come off the wrong way, but did you even read the article? Most of it was about past transgressions and what they've done to tighten the brand. Maybe you're been away too long. I also somewhat reject your characterization
