Disagreed, seems like Joel is being his usual self and claiming that competitors products are useless. I have found a lot of useful answers on yahoo answers on a range and depth of topics that do not exist within SE sites.

I hope I'm not alone, but it's impossible for me to differentiate what you do versus as something already provided by PayPal. PayPal was revolutionary, but WePay seems something that PayPal already provides. Borland (with their IDEs and Qua

I must be alone here, but some of the articles in eHow were helpful (ie, how to form an LLC in some states). It was very basic, but it was on the money. Sure, it's a "content farm" but if the advice is good and succinct, it sure beats tryi

(Disclaimer: I don't work for Apple or own any of their stock, just a happy dev in their ecosystem) I completely agree with this model. Apple's marketing muscle is HUGE. I'm perfectly OK with splitting one-time or recurring revenue with th

You are correct, but it's a much more complicated topic (especially in the West). Reading a book won't reverse decades of cultural conditioning. I recommend getting a Brazilian or Colombian wife instead.

Apple can do whatever the heck they want. The market will be the sole judge whether their choices are correct or not. So far the history is on their side.

Yahoo is really an impression based media company. The number one goal is to drive traffic to properties and monetize it via impressions. Don't get me wrong -- they've build some impressive technology in house and have/had some bright engi

Awesome podcast. I actually liked your delivery style although I'm probably in the minority. Reminds me of the "You suck at photoshop" tutorials on youtube.

I haven't met anyone who thinks US has any decent work/balance. The reality is that US is a great place to make money and lots of it. Then you spend it on the beaches of Brazil or Thailand.

The recent trend of him outsourcing his own posts is really annoying. I don't understand how anyone can learn anything from someone who has pretty much diluted his work to appeal to the widest possible audience. I mean the guy has a weight

Good to know about Colombian 3G coverage. I'm actually going to Medellin soon. Will probably stay for a while. If any hackers are in that area would be great to connect.

While labor is shifting overseas, consumers are not. America is the most consumer driven economy in the world and should remain so for a bit even given the recession (thank quantitive easing and low interest rates for that). All those trad

"Does a woman not have the right not to face that?" Are you speaking for ALL women? In Brazil, women love it when you aggressively peruse them. In SF, men don't talk to women, and women's number one complaint is exactly that.
