Not to mention, even if Borders had it, Amazon would be cheaper anyway, and Amazon's reviews are a huge source of book information to me.

Mostly for division of labor. I know plenty of programmers, but I want to focus on my most loved field - namely, mass persuasion in all of its forms, the science behind it, the history, practicing it, etc.

His other documentary, "Art and Copy" is also great, especially for entrepreneurs who want to pick up a little on advertising/marketing.

This is the same argument given by workers of every kind for hundreds of years - "the capitalists get rich off the fruit of our labors and the sweat of our brows, and don't toil to earn their own money" Whether it is right or wrong I can't

Very cool, but execution didn't work for me and made me very frustrated.

Great comment - besides spending time with my girlfriend, nothing makes me happier than bizdev and planning (even if it's for another company rather than my own)

That's nonsense. Each of those people had tons of smaller projects before they hit it big - they didn't just immediately know what was great and started working at it.

Of course any developing entrepreneurs will have higher interest rates - they are greater credit risks, and the costs of making the loan are similar for small loans an large loans. To properly compare, you have to compare the the 24% rate t

Can we ask what the safety issue is? I don't have a wakemate, and I understand if there is a legal reason not too, but I am curious. Is it bursting into flames...?

Just because the public wants something doesn't make it right.

Would it be possible to see your Facebook app? I'm curious to see what traits these fast growing apps have in common in person.

My own experienceL My school bus when I was young hit into the side of a van and sent it physically flying and rolling. We barely felt it in the back.

Exactly, piracy doesn't benefit movie studios.

Marketers work does improve the actual product, in the eye of the consumer. Intangible value is still value!

If that is such an advantage, then show me one bookstore owner who encourages theft for that purpose. And special give-aways don't count, since those are chosen by the business owner.

Certainly not immune from marketing! They are immune from marketing that's not targeted towards them, and perhaps from movie studios, but everyone has their actions affected based on some form of mass persuasion.

This is fairly mind-blowing to me, and if this argument is true, then we need to look at education reform a different way.

Restaurant owners don't know who to trust, and have no judge of the skill of website builders and/or price. They are often pitched by various company's and the one that eventually gets through will by no means be the best.

I did local SEO work for a while - I assure you, assuming small business owners have knowledge of even geocities is greatly overestimating their technical knowledge.

In one of OK Cupids fascinating data reports, they showed that the vast majority of people who labelled themselves bi-sexual only contacted one gender.

What is the advantage for those who want to watch erotic materials in storing pornography? Streaming it is easy, safe, and is harder to catch from the individual computer, and the supply of different porn materials is essentially unlimited?

Surely that wouldn't be misunderstanding the purpose though; things can have multiple purposes, I.E. the wolf skin can make you warm and also be symbolic, each are equally important in the human's mind.

That's absurd to me - really 82% have used marijuana? I guess the source is trusty but that blows my mind.

Wow - this thing looks great. I wonder how they make profit, though, there's no ads and no paid versions?

I definitely respect people for being financially successful if they added value to the world doing so (wealth creation). Also, my own life experiences do go against what you're saying - as I've made more money, I've always become more sati
