I buy all the Unicornfree ideology here. But I can't help but begin to think that I reject shit sandwiches simply because the shit sandwich makers reject me. By the way, I also eat up all the preaching that comes out of 37Signals. I love th

I have truly enjoyed watching Facebook and Zuck get called out by mainstream media and members of congress. It's not just the geeks who care anymore. T -5 days until my account is deleted. http://www.google.com/trends?q=delete+facebook+acc

This is one reason why developing for the browser is awesome. Even in the case of a browser extension, you can roll out changes so fast.

This is really cool. However, in the future, I think a better alternative will be running native code from the browser like Google NativeClient or CLI in the browser. Users are always in the browser and really don't like opening other appli

OK, at the risk of getting called out for spamming I can't help but interject here. I am the founder of a company who's goal is to create an environment where remote contributors are the company. I have one other co-founder and a few more

OK, so how about some ideas for a bootstrapped company that is no where close to making $40k a month (yet)? In fact, we work remotely for the freedom it offers, but also because we can't afford a space.

"It’s not about HTML 5 vs Flash. They’re mutually beneficial." Of course they have to say that. Just hoping they stop living in the past sooner rather than later.

Adobe: Please stop defending flash and get on with your life. Build us the HTML tools you said you would and do it so fast that I will forget about all this flash stuff. http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/05/adobe-cto-kevin-lynch-were-...

To me this is not about Google's pledge to do no evil, but more like a call to action against Facebook, Microsoft, and yes, even Apple. Unfortunately in the tech industry shareholders love to see large market share followed by strong lock i

Sony could have done better to collaborate with the military and other researchers to leverage the PS3 super computer status into the PS3 brand itself.

People who call JavaScript a toy don't know how to use it. And there are a LOT of them. What JS + CSS + HTML5 are missing is the tools and frameworks that make Flex such a great development platform. The tools will come, and it will not tak

Why isn't Google throwing a line to HTC as well? Maybe they don't have anything to help them?

Browsers are going to be getting closer and closer to the metal all the time. That's what this is telling us. It's like 1991 all over again.

Hmmm, yeah. I guess I agree that the dictator approach does in fact land more successful products. But, like Calcanus has recently spouted off "Facebook has overplayed their hand", and I think the same goes for Apple. It is true that I do n

Arrington is absolutely right about Digg. They are pandering to users too much. Assuming they want mainstream traffic they should only listen to the users who represent the vision of a mainstream product. However, Arrington is wrong about A

Calcanis is the ringleader in a racket. He talks more than he actually does anything. He writes posts like this to get traffic. He's like the Sarah Palin of the valley. Amusing to watch, but otherwise worthless.

People need to adjust to the presence of HFT. For many traders it breaks the model they may have used successfully for some time and they just don't want to go out and update their model. As typically happens, they go crying to the governme

And, don't forget that simple and ugly is not arrived at by not designing. It is designed to convert, designed to elicit a certain visceral response. The definition of design is not "beautiful." For some situations maybe you want to s

Really? I'd like to see browser based applications to continue to be advanced. Users are in the browser all day. Browsers are getting closer and closer to the metal on most devices and I think that is a good thing for the software industry

Been talking to people working with node.js and the general vibe is 'it rocks'. Although, there is a lot of breakage it's for the best.

Fantastic idea. I remember having a baby put my wife and I on a bunch of mailing lists. However, some of the niche targeting they used worked very well. For instance, my wife now subscribes to the parenting mags which were sent to her for f

After the money made processing the oil there will be plenty more to be made with the distribution networks and gas stations themselves. While processing data is an interesting problem for geeks, the more mainstream problem will be visualiz

The Fireworks Project is recruiting members. This is not a typical job and certainly not a typical start up. We're looking for guy or gal #3. If you don't want to have anything to do with us, I'd still like to get your thoughts on our membe

Just write code. Work on open source projects, blog, twitter, and keep a GitHub account with interesting projects in it. I know that many jobs may hire by running "grep" on hundreds of resumes, but I don't think those jobs are the good ones

If you are as great as you seem to be saying, you may want to try working on a member owned and managed corporation. It's like a co-op, or an employee owned organization, but better. You are paid in equity, which is determined by your pee

Wow, this post hit a nerve. I felt the same way two years ago, so I'm starting a company. It's called The Fireworks Project, and it is a member owned and member managed corporation. We're formed under the Vermont Project ( http://lawlab.or
