I know a couple of twins named Winklevoss that would be perfect for their firm.

Cool idea but at the end of the day, your idea encourages people to violate the terms of service they have with their ISP. Karma gets around that.

I love Evernote. I use it as a kind of 2nd brain. I have tabs for personal development, book summaries, business notes.. And I just search for things when they're needed. It's like Google, but instead of searching for information out there

I am the only one that thought the game was making fun of Skrillex? I thought all the noise cubes were supposed to represent his music..

This video helped me when naming my company: http://youtu.be/blTOv3oXdbk?t=1m25s It may seem like an icky marketing video at first but there's some good stuff in there.

They're selling a lot of things that you would expect to see on fab.com. And I think they only have 100 vendors to start? All Things D has a good write up: http://allthingsd.com/20120927/say-hello-to-gifts-facebooks-...

As a selected vendor, I must say they do seem focused on quality. I'm clearly biased but the impression I got from the buyer is they're being very picky. Another thing that will be tricky is separating signal and noise. If I'm buying a birt

In future wars, it will be hard to know when your nuclear centrifuges have been compromised or if you've simply been rick-roll'd.

It's strange how much FB worships at the alter of engagement. Time and time again they intentionally poke their own users in the eye like this.

It's cool because in a small but poignant way it represents how Zuck was able to build his company w/o kissing Wall street's ass. So many CEO's tactics are driven by quarterly earnings. By keeping his hoodie on and not flying out to New Yor

I think he means that by framing an activity as a "growth experience", it loses a bit of it's soul. Ghandi, Lindbergh, Jobs - they all changed the world because they had a fire in their belly and couldn't sit still. They didn't pursue thing

Tyler Winklevoss: "We were there at the beginning of web 2.0.." Yes, technically you were both alive on earth at the time. So was my Nana, my creepy uncle Hank, and about 6 billion other people.

'The “pin” button remains inactive until the user types something. Anything. Might this count as “criticizing” or “commenting”?' Interesting. I'd like to see a court case further define what constitutes a "comment" on the web. Other sites d

Kudos for having the stomach to listen to them and not simply cave in and build that dumb red button. This is why I loathe client work.

Guys won't have a problem with the name, but women will. Let's say 1 in 10 single women are looking to just get laid. They just got out of a long term relationship, they have a strong sex drive, whatever. These women don't want to announce
