I really enjoyed Dan's book Predictably Irrational. If you have any interest in human motivation and rationality, I'd recommend you pick up a copy: http://www.amazon.com/Predictably-Irrational-Revised-Expande...

I really hate that I can't create a folder at the time I save a document. There is a "New Folder" button in the bottom left corner of the (expanded) save dialogue box. But it is true that you can't edit folder names or move files around f

I think the idea is that some of the new TLDs will be created as registrars who sell individual domains to third parties. So, for example, someone might register .camera and then try to sell .camera domains to other people and companies. If

While it is certainly true that patents are not required for progress to occur, I don't believe anyone is arguing that. The question is whether more progress occurs under the current patent system than would without it (or under an altere

The only market share numbers I've seen recently that included non-phone devices were straight from Apple (so feel free to take it with a grain of salt if you'd like). They have iOS at 44%, with Android at 28%. http://www.readwriteweb.com/

Google+ may have geeky aspects to it, but Scoble saying it doesn't make it so. It does seem like Google+ could use a little bit of polish, but Scoble's examples are pretty poor. Non-geeks don't want to organize their friends into groups? I'

While there are some startups that aim to make big, obvious improvements in people's lives (biotech, for example), any startup that hopes to find lasting success must be based on creating value for users. More often I think that it may be i

They mentioned that music you have that doesn't match with anything already in the iTunes Store can be uploaded to the cloud. I don't think we have any details about the implementation yet though.

As the community grows, the definition of what's interesting to it gets more vague and distorted, like a drawing on a balloon that's continually inflated. And if it grows quickly, the graybeard:newb ratio drops. Both factors make it harder

Actually, at least on an iDevice with iOS 4, they don't have access to your phone number. Unless the user types it in (or selects themselves from the address book). Seems like it's easier on Android, but I'm not certain, just googled a bit.

I never have read it, but I will definitely check it out. Looks like it's even available for free online.

I've been planning to integrate a web-based version, but I hadn't considered the photos first, title later idea. I'll have to think about how it would in to the existing interface, but that certainly seems like it has potential. Thanks for

Hi HNers, In That Box is a side project I've been working on, partially as a way to learn more about iOS development. Last week I released the latest version which adds a number of new features and brings it past MVP status. I'd love to he

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this happening. Unless they had a setting to disable it, my initial reaction is that I'd disagree with those email providers blocking domains/IP addresses too. I do think, though, that there is an easily ident

It has nothing to do with privacy, it has to do with Facebook censoring messages. What if you couldn't send an email with a link to a questionable site? That wouldn't bother you at all?

There seems to be some confusion on this, as the Engadget review of iOS 4.2 includes this: You are able to utilize printers connected to other machines on your network (in OS X 10.6.5 only), but it's a slightly clunkier way to get things d

Mr. Ariely's book, Predictably Irrational, is a great read for those who aren't familiar with Behavioral Economics. It contains a lot of solid insights that entrepreneurs should understand, particularly relating to how consumers think.

This is a clever story that's on the funny side but has an insightful moral. Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to see the quick, simple solution is right in front of you.
