I'm quite prone to oversubscribing to MOOCs and then dropping out quickly. Sometimes it's because I realize that though I'm interested in the topic I'm "long magazine article" interested not 12-week class interested. And sometimes I drop ou

I appreciate your skepticism towards DropBox, but what makes you think that Mega is going to be the host-proof sharing nirvana? I'm willing to bet that their initial client will be susceptible to MITB and various key leakages for the first

This looks very good. But I can tell it's still early days yet. One UX/UI bug you should fix is to make it possible to see draft offers in one's profile. I did a save and continue, and had to dig through my browser history to get back to my

Are they being irrational? Most apps are opened once, twice at most. A small percentage of apps downloaded are used at all after the first day on the user's device. A very few make it into daily use; and most of those are on the device the

The real lack of innovation is in the social and political structures we have to live with. And those are a product of primate brains that evolve at a much slower rate than our technological sophistication. Right at the moment, the dominant
