Whose fault? Chrome? I'm also facing the same problem. Same version of Chrome, but on Windows, it loads properly, but not on Mac.

It is possible. You just have to post consistently and use the right tags. I'm not famous and I can get 10K followers just by posting one every few weeks, sometimes I post more regularly. More followers are gained when I post more ofte

That's the number I came up with after doing some calculations too. 1% VISA 2% Bank charges Whenever possible, I try to avoid using the cards. All those promotion gimmicks they give to people to sign up for the cards, and all the spen

I live in Singapore and the free shipping to my country is USD $125. Sometimes I really wonder how they make money when the items they ship are so heavy. In my country, the shipping cost would easily be 2 to 3 times what Amazon would charge

If you limit reviews to only Amazon customers, you limited the number of people who can write reviews. I buy a lot of things from other places as well, not just Amazon.

Here's another way to look at this. When I subscribe to a page, I expect to get updates on new postings. Because Facebook is using their EdgeRank to filter out those postings, I'm no longer get updates on all the postings. As such I've to g

The latest offering of Kindle Fire might actually give the iPad a serious competition. I'm currently an iPad user. If I don't have the iPad now, I would be torn between buying the two. The Kindle Fire is cheaper. Amazon's customer service i

The article reminds me of what I learned in a marketing: Value = Benefits / Cost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_%28marketing%29 Marketing comes into play. If not, items for sale would be using cost-based pricing. A Mac and a PC would

I hope this applies to international shipping as well. I buy stuff regularly from Amazon and their prices are even cheaper than what my country's local stores are offering after shipping included. E.g. A book from Amazon cost ~30% cheaper t

I'm a journalist, not a tech journalist though. We write for the readers. Some pointers. 1. Use the Who, What, When, Where and How. Who are you. What do you want. When is it happening. These are the three most important points to get across

What you're saying is common knowledge. What I'm trying to say is: Don't compete directly. Apple didn't compete directly with the music/tv/movie industries but yet they too manage to have a huge leverage over them. And they managed that leg

It may not be necessary to compete as directly as that. Filesharing sites compete against Hollywood in a different way (even though it's illegal) and they manage to grab their attention. What we need is something to give us the same amount

The main point is not to kill Hollywood but to force them to compete and evolve. Hollywood sell entertainment services that demand the time of people. The ultimate goal of winning would be to compete and win the time of people. E.g. Newspap

I struggle to find what the post was trying to say. I've 10 million pageviews for my photos, averaging 430 pageviews per photo. I derived a lot of revenue from the photos. Not from selling but from using photos to drive traffic to my blog w

Dictatorship is not accurate. I'm from Singapore and seriously, you can do whatever you want, just don't break the law (as with any other countries). Singapore is very pro-business.

It's not weird if you understand what's really happening when people are buying stuff. Value comes from the amount paid vs the perceived value gained from getting the object. Something along that line. I learned it in a marketing class. Jus

At the other end of the spectrum, CEO's salary aren't that much a secret, which I read somewhere that is precisely the reason why their salaries are inflated. If CEOs know that other CEOs are paid that much, they are likely to request the s

I follow Smashing Magazine. They are successful because their content is helpful. Helpful to the point where people will link them on other sites to help other people. That's where the multiplier effect kicks in. And they also publish their

The Mac App Store - I guess Dashboard apps will be going away? Launchpad - I firmly believe technology is to help save time. Launchpad doesn't do that. There's already an app called Quicksilver that will get your app opened, without you hav

It's not what you don't know that will hurt you. It's what you know for sure that ain't so. I think it's a quote from Mark Twain.
