   This is obviously a PR article. Oracle is not just a database company anymore. Comparing Oracle to a 100 people company does not make much sense either.

   Reminds me of Ron Conway's Google receipt investment story. Signing on a dollar bill is interesting. Small shops/cafes frame the first dollar bill they earned. Similarly, founders can frame the first 'dollar' investment.

   Good article but I don't agree with ”When you have more than 15 options in a menu, you should either lessen the amount of options, or use a text field to allow users to enter their own data." Almost all forms use a select menu for user to c

   I never knew that stores cannot charge more. I would assume more stores will already set the price with credit card charges in mind. Some restaurants give you 5% discount for paying in cash.

    Too bad. I really prefer the name WikiTravel. Clearer and simpler.

    No wonder I was confused. I wonder whether they are really buying the team or the community. It seems that there are less activities going on at Forrst these days.

    Looking forward to Steven Sinofsky's new blog. "Learning by Shipping" - very true. Love the title.

    If Apple allows in-app purchases freely, what may happen is that every app is a free app, and the first screen is a screen asking you to buy the paid app. I have already experience a similar experience in some apps like NYT where basically

    Interesting comparison but failed at making a substantial argument. - Library has limited copies. If the library has only 10 copies, only 10 people have access to it. On Pirate Bay, 1 million people can instantly download and have access t

    Overall a good idea. Screenshots sometimes takes quite long to load. Would be great to integrate Notable or allow annotation on the screenshot. Add Comment vs Submit Review is confusing. After adding comment, it just disappeared. You have n

    Having 2 passwords does not really solve the problem. I understand where the writer is coming from, but it is a gray area to define what is considered "high risk" vs "low risk". Using two factor authentication for selected task seems to mak

    It was just my personal attempt to highlight potential companies that may grow to a billion down the road. I maybe totally wrong.

    That's the point of the list! It is really hard to predict now. We will know who will make it to the list in a couple of years.
