Don't go into business with people you don't trust. In my experience, it never goes well.

This is an arms race. I just see this getting worse and worse until it gets better. As these battles get larger, companies will dump more and more resources into their legal arsenal. The ever larger legal departments at these corporations

How can it be like web spam? Web spam is in hypertext and app store spam is compiled code.

Most stores will not match amazon's pre-tax prices today. Why would it be any different if amzn collected tax?

To the article.. I doubt they are gonna close it down. My guess is it's a social experiment of some kind. Not sure what kind. Would love to know the actual story behind this.

Since one of your complaints is you don't know what problem to solve, one thing I might suggest is to try doing puzzles / challenges... They are much less daunting than trying to define a big project. This is a great book filled with such p

What a great speaker Rand is. Definitely makes me interested in the service. Loved the examples of real marketing such as urbnspoon, dropbox, seomoz, and simply hired. Also, he gave 2 months of his svc away for free for the talk: http://

Cool sounds interesting. Have to be pretty adventurous and humble to do something like that. Perhaps gullible as well. Well thought it was funny and artistic. some seem to think its spam (tho I disagree clearly not spam, if it were spam why

Looks like a parody. Tho I bet it'd be pretty interesting to learn how leather has been made for thousands of years. Scary how short industrial history is compared to village history. Makes you wonder which will survive.

I think it'd be interesting to re-write HyperCard in javascript and HTML5, as a way to get kids interested in coding (and maybe use javascript instead of apple script as the card language?). Not sure how difficult this would be as I've nev
