Wow. A $1 billion email? Reminds me of Bill Gates' emails about crushing Netscape [2nd paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft#Tria... ]. I guess those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it...

Disgusting.. Bloggers just need a trade organization & some lobbyists & millions of dollars to contribute to political campaigns. Then they'd be considered "respectable" by policymakers.

Interesting post (I love Steven Levitt) but there's a great lesson for developers here: Efficiency is only one consideration. What about usability? Do you really want to wait in line at McDonald's or Starbucks while someone (maybe a hig

Good point - &, to be fair, let's not forget that even Bill Gates (among others) also underestimated the potential of the Internet in the early '90s...

I'm not an IP expert, but I think there's a SERIOUS problem here, and it's called "the US patent office." Patents should be issued for real INNOVATIONS that a 6th grader can't come up with in 10 seconds. Yahoo now has a patent for human-ass

Ballmer's not exactly a visionary: In a post from June [ http://thenextweb.com/2009/06/02/web-death-google ] Boris relates a famous story about a meeting between Yahoo and Microsoft which took place when Yahoo was still a small start-up: "Y

Great post, especially the bit about life at Google: - developers can switch teams and/or projects any time they want, no questions asked; just say the word and the movers will show up the next day to put you in your new office with your ne

Just thought I'd share a funny story: Kodak founder George Eastman was once asked about the origin of the name of his camera. "Philologically, the word 'Kodak' is as meaningless as a child's first 'goo,'" he explained. "Terse, abrupt to the

Just a caveat to anyone who DOES want to start an "easy business"... In Founders at Work (another great book from Apress), Paul Graham talks about starting Viaweb (which Yahoo bought to power Yahoo Stores): Graham: "We had this angry phone
