   To know about 'intrinsic' value of a consumer tool (like FB or Twitter), I usually ask people - would you pay, say $1 per month to continue using the tool, if the payment process was very easy and invisible to you. I hear a yes from most FB

   I love to ask something that is simple to start with, and then build on it interactively with the candidate. One of my favorite questions is - Give me a normalized database structure that you'll implement if you were to build gmail - incorp

   We're working on a contextual gadget. It would be up on the marketplace in around 2-2.5 weeks. We built the DOM scraping+manipulation version first, as it gives us more flexibility with the placement of the "Send to GrexIt" and the search a

   email is a very generic communication, and in my opinion, it is possible to build tools on top of email that can give every collaboration/crm/project-management tool in the market a serious run for their money. Every email front-end now sup

    I looked at Metallica and Dylan, and looking at the Qwiki was a very enjoyable experience - way more juicier than reading. It could have gone even further if it played some tracks in the background :)

    The online tech space/startup is a tool of wealth creation, and wealth if handled conscientiously can solve a lot of problems. The way I think about it is, it gives me a chance to do very well for myself in terms of money and influence, and

    I don't know why Apple would want to do that. How Sony looks at hardware, software and their product line-is is something I'd call very 'traditional' - (1) hardware is important, just patch in some software that can make users manage to us

    My basic thumb rule is, does a spend now help the cause of my larger plan in life, or goes against it. So, spending on a new experience would make more sense for me than saving that money and investing it into something, as I've figured out
