I flew out to Pakistan in 2001 on a holiday, and then ended up hiring a programmer from there. Turned out to be a right royal mess. The quality of work was poor, and his work ethic wasnt great either. I ended up delivering a software projec

I've been doing something since October that was initially just two of us, but is now three. The criteria for joining was the person had to be of sound character, open-minded and ambitious. They dont necessarily have to be part of a start-u

Very nice indeed. I'm not a programmer, but i'd love to take it a step further, by getting the flip action to 'flip' and then 'expand' to the size of the whole canvas. Personally i think that would be neat.

I used to be painfully shy too, but i started to get much better when i realised that were many other people who had the same problem. Some things i have learned that sometimes it can come down to self-esteem, so if you solve that problem y

I'd like to see someone solve the problem of (snail) mail. Its the one thing that is really preventing me from living a digital nomad lifestyle. I still have to visit my office at least once a week just to pick up mail, half of which is oft

No, what i'm saying is. If you sum up the amount of text i read (incl speech converted to text) from blogs and video etc, then it would come to about 2 to 300 books at the end of the year.(in my estimation).

I dont know if this was meant as a quasi-sarcastic comment or not, but i have to say, i seriously agree with you. For me, blogs are micro books. And i have daily "aha" moments, that i cant get from books at this frequency. And if you start

Good on you Microsoft. How's that for a little bit of social responsibility.

I have to agree with this. I know quite a few people who love doing 'menial' jobs such as this. (seriously). Getting paid, for them, is a bonus.

I think the author is trying to assert the idea of "not hanging around" waiting for someone to come and do it for you. He's not negating the idea of delegation. I guess you just have to strike a balance. There are many people out there who

Hope its not consider poor HN etiquette to post this, but i took a very different view about how i feel about Microsoft. But to be fair, i have never worked there and i am assessing only from the outside. http://krmmalik.posterous.com/why-

I read the book he mentions in the video last year. Its also my favourite business book of all time too. So easy to read and truly an eye-opener. Trying to implement in my own business now.

Well i'd say it averages around 3 hours. There was one session that went up to nearly 5. It never actually went past 5. If there were multiple parties that were attending, and regularly at that, surely their menu spend would make-up for it?

We're looking for someone to do some high quality customer service, but that has a healthy understanding of IT (we sell IT products and services). Want to trial someone for a week or two first. (Unpaid) which then may move to part/full time

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple in fact is enjoying these cost savings. They just don't happen to be passing them onto the consumer, rightly or wrongly.

I believe Apple is controlling the economic chain where the iPod, iPhone and iPad is concerned, even if it's through multiple companies. Unless i've mis-understood the question?
