For your car example: You would have to put some fuel like natural gas into your car. This would be converted to electricity. The innovation is it would not be converted from fuel to mechanical energy (motor spinning) to electricity, but r

I agree - the business model seems a bit forced. I think your first point will translate into quite a reduced maximum popularity. I would have tried the opposite approach and gave sites some easy way to embed clips of the interviews on th

It is a well engineered twitter. Will be interesting to see if it can gain enough momentum to be useful. I am betting yes - due to the simpler embedding of media.

Interesting. I am still mildly worried that it could pop up again at any time and I had a relatively good diet and exercise regime when it occurred. Sleep and stress are tougher to solve. Glad to hear you have had success getting better -

I had similar symptoms that last summer - do you know what caused it? I was tested with no conclusive result, but it was also during a listeria outbreak which I was not tested for. It was a rough few months.

I do write code that requires uninterrupted concentration for stretches - but I can get into the zone from anywhere. This week I had some of my best sessions at a loud coffee shop. I don't want to be in a sensory deprivation chamber for h

Kinde 3G isn't free. It is priced into the distribution costs of the media. iPad allows unrestrained surfing - which is why it requires a monthly plan.

No upside? That is a pretty outrageous claim. The upside is more press. The 'news' agencies/tabloids hate repeating material and need fresh information to talk about tonite before the big launch. You have to throw some meat out to the lio

Read a book on Zen. Approach everything with a "beginner's mind". Never blow through a new tutorial cutting and pasting even if you are very experienced in the area. Take your time, learn as a beginner, but leverage your experience to ins

Be wary of trying to recreate the success using a similar but different model. Many people fall into that trap and fail. For example, if you carefully built apps and they seem to be selling well hiring a bunch of people to build more apps
