Now this is a good point. We ( http://muckrock.com ) launched our web app with a $30 stock theme and it was, in my opinion, the right decision at the right time. We still happily use it, and when we shopped around for designers, they were

I think the underlying, unstated point - that the industry is disrupted - holds, but misses out on a bigger, more interesting point: There is a huge need and opportunity to help craft the total experience, and those skills are costly and go

These arguments boil down to fun reasons Apple should spend money to lose money, possibly long into the future, with no business upside. Dodgeball, MySpace and Orkut are all great warnings about companies that don't already "get" social fro

Reminds me of the old "Poor Man's Patent": Write your idea, invention, etc. on a piece of paper, and mail it to yourself in a sealed (possibly certified) letter as proof of date of invention. Unfortunately that, and likely this, will provid

This post was worth the vote just because of the fond memories hacking through browser compatibility issues in the early 2000s. I'd literally cry sometimes, but I suppose it taught valuable lessons about the cost of long-term support, custo

Such a fun little effect, but probably such a bad design decision 99% of the times I'd be tempted to use it. Great looking documentation page, too.

This post is specifically about the media industry and being a freelancer, but I think the mindset illustrated (creative ideas about what works is and the path to success) is incredibly important to finding fulfilling, well-compensated work

It's a tough question, but I think the key is "customer development." Lock in users and use cases with contracts before launching the satellites, and map out what could be emerging threats. With the mobility space, it was already rapidly, r
