If these are the only dangers from working from home, I would take that over the dangers from working in an office. I haven't even given those dangers much thought, but I'll start with a few. 1) Commute - wasted time and energy sitting in t

I can personally vouch for this myself in practice. This is a classic case of quality vs quantity. Depending on my workload, I have sessions of varying time of hyper-activity. If something is highly urgent, then these sessions can endure fo

Not sure either of those would work. I don't think companies would want to spend money for weapons, nor the cost of training employees to use them, nor the liability of what happens if they are used and any ensuing results. They want the po

Isn't it interesting that while we're always debating "ad-supported" vs "paid content", magazine publishers were getting away with murder by getting both for decades??? Advertisers are paying us loads of cash! And guess what? People are pay

This can only make the fast food industry even faster and more inhumane. And how do you suppose such a machine is supposed to handle meats and vegetables? Even more processed food here we come. I'm usually not one to be anti-tech, but this

Not really sure why you're getting downvoted. I agree to some extent. I've always had a love-hate thing for Mr. Nielsen. I've come to terms with him in the regards of treating his philosophies as baseline rules. Kind of like overriding laws

I'm deeply saddend that he will be leaving Apple in the near future, according to rumors, but if it's to pursue greater causes such as this, then I'm excited to see what he'll do next.

I saw this subject mentioned in Dan Ariely's Ted Talks. Here's his specific blog post about the subject. It would clearly work. http://www.predictablyirrational.com/?p=235

Same site. Same article. More depth. From one year ago. Must be a slow news day for the Business Insider. http://www.businessinsider.com/can-4chan-turn-300-million-pa... Even has the same picture!

There's actually quite a good number many more than the site you mentioned. I put them in two basic categories. 1) Overly complex - you arrive at the site and you have a thousand options and don't know what the heck to do. They offer these

I used to be a huge jazz fan. I discovered it around my senior year in high school and just started eating it all up. While other cars were blaring rap music and Guns and Roses, I would be playing John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk and Duke

I would actually say that yes, Yelp converts very well for small businesses. Recently, when I was looking for a printing shop to print my wedding invitations, I was very highly intent on giving someone my business. Out of the 4 printers I r

So does this make it 3 companies so far filing suit? If I do the math (well, do I really need to?), if this were a regular business practice Yelp was involved in, wouldn't you think that there would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more businesses chim

She could also have given him her boyfriend's email address, which would not have been too much harder than making a phone call. Numbers are harder to remember because it's a string of numbers. Email addresses are easier since the letters f

Every user will not see the exact same color, however, every user will see approximately the same relativity and contrast to the color spectrum on their monitor. Even in real life, our eyes are not calibrated the same. It is the contrast an

I have a similar proof that doesn't quite take so long to explain. 1 + 1 = 1 One number plus one number becomes one number.

Is there a website that keeps track of a company's "social" rating, somehow keeping track of all of the positive things they've done for the environment, healthcare, natural disasters and such, while also giving demerits for negative acts?

Do you see a trend of logos becoming less important to a company's success in the past decade, as focus turns online and brand becomes more of a conversation? Consider the logos of Google, Facebook, eBay. Look at that completely generic Y u

Honestly, I wish this is how it was from the very beginning (minus the huge cost of entry). If you think about it, what really was the point of .com, .net, .org etc... Does it really make sense that you can have both twitter.com and twitter

The title should really be renamed "Tokyo: It's Not Funny Anymore". For anyone that hasn't bothered to think about it, Japan is much richer and has more breadth than this single city. It's unfair to critique an entire country based on the e

The issue of being "inspired" by other people's designs does not appear to be a relevant case here. When the degree of stealing is a practical copy and paste, it is more in the territory of stealing than inspiration. It might be better unde

My 2 cents on why Flash is irrelevant. Content is king. We all agree on this yes? People want that content through RSS, on a browser, on their phone, through email through etc etc... It must be open, sharable, free to see in any way the use

Thanks for the input! Yes, there are links back to the site when a user wants to enlarge a photo or see details for anything else. I'll definitely work on the value proposition. I've probably been way too close to this for a long time and n

But what also goes far for them is exposure. You know: fame, money, sex. Money is not their only driving motivator.
