I haven't read the 4 hour workweek book, but the two pieces of advice 1) Money is a means not an end 2) Doing less e-mail, are good bits. But I'm not sure why this is worthy of repeating. Doesn't everyone know this? Personally I'm way mor

I never really knew how Craigslist made money. I guess I never saw those recruitment ads because I don't live in one of the cities given. Its an interesting freemium model.

"This implies that Twitter's resembles more of a one-way, one-to-many publishing service more than a two-way, peer-to-peer communication network." Well, there ya go. There's the business plan. It's just a new way to advertise products. Sp

I just found it vaguely funny that on the front page of the CS Monitor was a story about a shuttered GM plant...and Facebook was caught lurking behind the scenes.

Exactly. I remember when 50nm was a big deal. Now its 28nm? That's absurd. How they make those interconnects is beyond me.
