All I can think is how much longer it must be to speak tweets aloud in other languages. As opposed to "at Jim Lipsey, at Gruber, at Chockenberry, at The Talk Show", now it's "chee-o-cho-la Jim Lipsey, chee-o-cho-la Grube

Would be great to see how well this works (especially over time). I've used IdeaPaint before, but it always seems to get worse and ghost over time. Also it's quite expensive.

What's most interesting to me about this is that not a single one of these apps is a free-to-play app. Freemium apps have a lot of room to grow on the design front and this could be a serious differentiator for certain apps.

I hope this is not just handled through Bluetooth, but can be accessed via wireless as well. The idea of being able to leave air conditioning off in my house until I'm leaving the office, or to turn off all lights while outside of my h

Always seemed to me that Fab should have spent their money on marketing and positioning, trying to put themselves as a major internet retailer for fashion and modern, high-end living. Instead it appears that they went out of sight, out of m

$10/month seems a bit expensive considering the functionality and feature set. That said, I don't know too much about the space. Also, you should build a better pricing page. The "Buy" tab just sends you to a free trial

There's also the potential that the offer gets pulled because they realize you're not a good fit based on the large salary range discrepancy. If I'm hiring for someone at $50K and they're asking for $150K, I know that th

At the very least, it was smart of Microsoft to make the leadership change on the cusp of these new developments. If successful, they can point to Nadella being the catalyst. If unsuccessful, they can point to it being the last gasps of a d

Cool idea. But I personally hate this. I need time to formulate my thoughts and the idea of typing while someone else is watching me is a major turn-off for me.

Agreed. Quite interesting. It's often very true in the tech industry as well. I've found that many Alpha personalities will dominate conversations and stifle interaction, which, while sometimes productive (nobody loves a rabbit tr

I think the best way for this to work is for you to pair it with a more professional algorithm (e.g. Payscale, Salary.com). I am not sure I would ever trust what a bunch of random unqualified people say my salary should be.

It really feels like this is solving a problem that doesn't exist, and as a result will hurt discussion. Additionally it assumes that people with 1,000 karma will sift through all of the comments to approve. Based on how few things get

R-squared of 0.2? Not a stats major, but that seems like a pretty low correlation to try to draw conclusions from, even though it may be statistically significant.

Yup. Usually I remember the rubric being about $30 back to the publisher on a $60-$70 title. MS/Sony each take a cut and so does the distributor (Steam, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc). Plus, as pointed out in comments below, there's als
