This is very high level, but: take a step back and remember who it is you are trying to serve/help with the problem you are solving. If it is a particular market/industry, often the answer can be found by trying to focus on how to help them

So I have a friend (it could be true) considering starting a business on the side and he agrees with all of these points. After reading this article, however, he realized that he did sign some type of agreement saying anything he does is pr

What I really want to know is what "tbray" sees as the next google. Now that he is inside he surely must have a different perspective on what could be dislodging/game changing for the mammoth company.

I think everything matches here except that Mr. Donley capitalizes "F"acebeook. The comment in question has these as lowercase, which has already been mentioned.

Standard library = socialism Many open libraries = capitalism Since capitalism elucidates turrets in some people, I'll add that what I'm driving at is competition breeds innovation and quality. If one library adds functionality another doe

Now there's an idea for healthcare reform: pay doctors the months that you're healthy, and not when you're sick.

This is also a reminder that for those struggling during this recession, it would go a long way if those who are not reached out to help. That way we don't need to rely on ever more inefficient gov't programs trying to help. Private charity

Because near-term job creation is the government's job, right? If this were such a good idea, it would have been privately funded. It's nice to know I'll be paying for another state's rail system for years to come

This closed world is close to possible with control, which is exactly what Apple has achieved with the iPhone. They limit which apps make it on, and which content can be displayed. I do not doubt that sooner than later Apple will offer filt
