Good article. I was surprised to see they left out Clayton Christensen and his work on the topic, "How Will You Measure Your Life?" A little more reaching in it's content probably, but still a very influential and thought-provoking book and

I thought one of the draws of Android was that no specific licensing was necessary to implement on a device? Can someone elaborate on why exactly Acer would need a contract to use Android?

Great real-world anecdote, it's really refreshing to see busy people (I'm assuming Harj is a pretty busy person) understanding the implications of email overload and trying to deal with it. Not everyone needs to completely remove email from

This is definitely a great idea, I've been thinking of different ways to accomplish it myself. The research backs this up too as a very reasonable solution, allowing workers to still be productive in replying, while only checking new email

You will lose up to 24 minutes of full productivity, according to several different pieces of research. For example: "A study by Microsoft researchers tracking the email habits of co-workers found that once their work had been interrupted b

I definitely like some of the capabilities that Grexit provides, but did want to note that using your email in this way (as a collaborative, task-tracking tool) is one of the worst ways to beef up your email overload, individually and as an

TextDrive was a great host back in the day (I signed up around 2004) and I was also happy with Joyent as well. They've obviously changed target markets since then, which is unfortunate, but I think the offer they made is certainly palatable

Sorry, you missed the point. Occasionally the user is broken, because as human beings we sometimes do things that are less than optimal. I'm not making an argument really for whether or not this is a technology issue or a client/server pr

Great comment enginous. I want to look into variable interval reinforcement now, as I've been approaching this from more of a research-based angle. The solutions should be hybrid, though I still believe that better behavior, reinforced by t
