Sorry, I don't care about all the downvotes. I did in fact read your entire article. Your quote: "It needs to fail. This is not the right way for us to go forward." You're basically hoping completely that this will in fact fail entirely, wi

It seems a better idea would have been to embed them into some form of eyewear, a form factor that currently exists rather than create a new one.

Ugh!!!! This guy is so full of stupid it hurts. Ok, let me not fall into rant mode and just be nice and logical. The fallacy some people fall into when presented with a new product or service is to make an assumption that this new product o

I actually just commented on this on a recent Kara Swisher article http://kara.allthingsd.com/20100929/exclusive-major-meltdown... The basic idea started with the idea of completely changing the company name to a name that can play well w

If his article is any indication of what reading his book is like, I'll be staying far faway from it. Leave it to a writer to write 50 pages in what could have been boiled down to one. This seems to be another example of his generation gap,

Er, ok, so to help the .1% of signups coming from journalist or bloggers, we add a checkbox that's out of place and irrelevant to the 99.9% of actual potential users which could have the negative effect of losing signups from having some we

From a user's perspective, the site loads quick and displays fine. Would there be any particular reason that would motivate the programmers of Subway.com to clean up their code or reformat it in a more efficient way?

Short answer: this is "agency" UX. If you want to work in a startup, then 90% of what you're learning is useless. You're learning traditional practices that put emphasis on planning. Startups generally need to put emphasis on speed and flex

I have much respect for the company, but I hate to say that I did not want a single one of their concepts. Every screen change, the only thing I could think was, "ok, now how do I go back to that previous screen?" every new screen showed a

Perhaps you could take it one step further from karaoke and put an American Idol spin on it. Competitions, prizes, Internet fame. If you could somehow pull in a celebrity partner or sponsor, this could become an even greater possibility.

Even better when you have friends with the same M.U.L.E nostalgia to play with. My favorite was monopolizing the market on food to make all the other players starve and pay me crap tons of money just to eat.

I have an idea that I want to throw out there. I haven't fully thought it out, so I'm sure it would have drawbacks. But what if one were able to earn karma points by interacting with the "new" page. The details could be worked out to make i

Of all the things pointed out in the article, this is the one single thing that I could not see a reasonable defense to, and he didn't even mention this as one of the problems! When a launch is imminent and you are a CO-FOUNDER, and you tak

I think many of the use cases you list on the front page are a bit of a stretch. The To Do list for example, there's already hundreds of different ways people keep their to do lists, and I can't see any advantage of keeping one here over my

Just want to add that of course, you'd be able to integrate food ratings, friending, favoriting, etc etc etc all that standard social stuff, but IMO, in order for this to be successful, you should consider boiling it down to the absolute si

Allow me to offer you an idea: When I go to Yelp to search for a restaurant, the filters I have available are type of restaurant, proximity, rating and price. My next step is to either sort by those filters, or individually click a restaura

I would actually take this argument even further and add an understanding of good UX with a sprinkle of business knowledge. Without the UX, a designer has no basis on what works for each particular type of user, and without a basic understa

I dunno. That setup looked pretty darn expensive. Did you see the number and size of all of the pieces involved? Custom etched and built models. Huge amounts of high-powered explosives. Not to mention the cost of the film. I don't mean to u

Just a tip, if someone tells you that something is unclear to them, a response just telling them that you don't know why it's unclear to them is both unhelpful to that person as well as to yourself. I also find the homepage unclear as to wh

True, what they have is pretty darn close. As long as it offered me TV and Movie level content and gave me a custom-tailored feed based on what I like.

Oh, one other thought. Add Korean dramas and you will OWN the entire female asian market. They're easy to find on several sites, but completely non-existent on internet/tv solutions. Additionally, it's next to impossible to explain to our A

I'd like to offer what I believe is the humongous missed thinking on every product like this and any service that aims to mix internet and TV. Maybe it's been done and I've somehow missed it. But I'd like to call it the Stumbleupon feature.

Great simple advice. Nike sums it up even shorter with "Just do it." And if you read between the lines, it says "Don't think." I'm not saying don't think at all of course, but one of the biggest things that keeps someone from getting starte

Maybe unrelated, but I give a vote for the brain perceiving things in a hyper-active state. When I go high-speed go karting, my brain needs to work incredibly fast to keep up with every little thing going on. In between sessions, if I play

By any chance, do you know of the podcast The Totally Rad Show? One of the main aspects of the show is asking fans to submit fan artwork utilizing the TRS logo, with the "prize" being that they will use it in their opening segment's backdro

Amazing how simple this should be. If you don't find the $1000 prize worth it, don't participate. Likewise, don't tell someone who does see the $1000 prize worth it that he or she shouldn't participate. Market forces. Instead of seeing this
