Brook Brothers makes great suits. If you go to the outlet you can get a complete 365 suit for around $400 (they're still nice, I have one). The ones in the retail store are at least twice that. I would probably avoid the J.A Banks of the wo

37Signals is making their point heard, but it's not the professional way to handle things. I completely understand the reaction, DHH is rightfully upset. It's usually best to take some time to cool off and then respond when you're a little

i think if you get a job at a large organization you'll quickly understand why VPs and directors are more experienced. ability and motivation aside, no one wants to report to someone less qualified (on paper) than they are. imagine sitting

I could be fooled by the re-created blackberry and Discovery fonts. They're the two that appear to match the closest.

I find Eric Bidelman's HTML5 decks very useful. I understand the complaints. I occasionally read HN on my iPad and some links aren't tablet friendly. These presentations are meant for developers and it's safe to assume that anyone experimen

This is pretty cool, I just gave it a test drive. At scale the global pool would probably get really noisy. The tracking thing helps, could the posts be arranged by subject? Do comments impact the order of the posts?

I think I would use this, depending on the quality of the tester. $9 per user is a little expensive. There are a lot of traditional marketing techniques that could get you users for less than a $9 CPA - especially since it's $9 + you're giv
