The demo video takes a long time before you see what the end result actually looks like. It's sort of a how-to video, and I think you need a straight demo video that lets you see the goods up front.

Hybrid free/regulated systems like ours have all of the downsides of both approaches but none of the benefits. I do believe that the free market regulates itself, but we don't have a free market. In a free market, there would be no bailouts

I think it would be incredibly dangerous to give police this power. Once always-on, instant-upload digital recording equipment becomes commonplace, it will hopefully spell the end of abuse by police officers. They won't even be able to conf

I think this is a good idea, and I actually use a similar in-house app regularly. If you're working on a lot of little things, or handling maintenance on a large project, it can be difficult to keep track of all the things you actually did

Definitely, the first thing I tried to do was drag them around. +1 for that feature!

I think it just comes down to wording. The post that ends with "FAIL" got downvoted. That seems pretty harsh to me, but I think people are just hypervigilant against any hint of encroaching diggishness.

It does exactly what it says it will, and it does it with style. Highly recommended. Would corn again.

Thanks for your post, it really clicked for me. I certainly suffer from this problem. I have several projects that have gone through major revisions over a period of months or even years, without ever launching. As soon as I see a potential

Exactly. Along with a very emphatic "none of this actually matters yet so stop worrying about it".

A lot of entrepreneurs have stories like this. If the experience motivates you to stop working for someone else then it's all worth it.

That seems true but it's not. If any country with large dollar holdings were to begin dumping them, they'd saturate the market and devalue the rest of their own dollars. For instance, if China were to begin dumping dollars, it's estimated

As a developer, wouldn't it seem odd to do the work up front, and then have a group of people you don't know vote on whether or not you should be paid? I can't imagine that would be very attractive.

Has the systemic use of these puzzles in the hiring process backfired horribly for MS? I ask because, rather than filtering for smart people in general, these puzzles seem to filter for a specific subset of puzzle-oriented smart people. The

This seems more like a competitor to RSS than a replacement for Google. It doesn't seem like it has anything to do with Google at all, really. Google needs to spider because the websites themselves can't be trusted to give Google accurate l

Scoble's site still sucks. He's a Dunning-Kruger poster child.

Amazing! I love the design and the sheer amount of info conveyed in a small space. One bug in chrome (who cares yet, right?) but anyway: When typing into the task textbox, the centered text doesn't display correctly.

The ad is brilliant, but it's even funnier how many people don't seem to get it. (full disclosure: I loathe MS as much as anyone)

Some good points, but the reality is that flash is still the most painless RIA platform, due to a mature IDE, the complete lack of cross-browser issues to deal with, and cross-platform market penetration greater than any single browser. Chr

In my opinion the bookmark implementation is the BEST yet. You essentially can have multiple bookmark menus for different topics, as any folder you drag onto your bookmark bar becomes a pulldown menu.
