Yes, entrepreneurs may be threatening to large companies, but they are not at all threatening to political leaders. Entrepreneurs are not youth culture, they're businessmen, they work within the capitalist system, not opposed to it or tryin

Lion is the first OSX version I've used, and it's really hard for me to understand these complaints. 1) Removed? It's still in there for office and photoshop 2) Never really need to minimize, use mission control 3) Have no use for that gree

I imported 19 000 songs and started playing a song while still importing and playback only paused once for maybe a second and then everything was smooth. Impressive really.

Agreed. Seeing how shallow most of the articles on Jobs' life have been, this makes me feel a strange tingle of pride for being a sociology student. Seriously though, that article is beautifully written. I wish my writings would be half as

Your comment has the first mention of beard that I saw in this thread. Let's not derail this discussion.

I have the same problem. Everything is very tiny. I just end up pinch zooming most web pages. I'm thinking of buying a desktop monitor and hooking it up with the MBA. In all honesty I think I have to go see an optometrist also. It's long du

It is written like an alien studying human interaction. Some of what was written is decent advice but it comes off as off-putting.

Yes, listen to this man. If you are prone to depression/anxiety/paranoia/negativity do not try hallucinogenics. Otherwise, it can be a positively life altering experience.

Yes, definitely go through your first trip with a knowledgeable supervisor. Someone who can guide you and talk you out if you seem to be heading into a bad trip. One can always be talked out of a bad trip.

I did the same thing. Delete everything. Although, some actions you can only "hide", like comments on other people's walls and such. At least that's my understanding.

Yes, in many markets it is fairly easy. But in most it is not. In fact, anywhere you are, it's quite a hassle to find a good tenant, find new ones when the previous occupier leaves, fix the house etc...

Yes, you're special because your home is in an area where people want to rent it. Every home-owner certainly does not have this advantage. In your case it makes more sense to buy than in others.

This is a Finnish company and there has been some discussion about this in Finland. Basically it's bullshit, the next Power Balance. There's no credible research to back their claims. Only one study that didn't include a control group. I co

I often wonder why the thought of moving somewhere far away is appealing to people. Leaving all this shit behind etc. I've been there. Traveled for many years around asia and south america, worked (fulfilling?) volunteer jobs etc. Then I re
