We go to the park every week to play kick ball. Besides the fresh air, it's a great venue to exchange ideas with other people in the company.

I think the strength, and angle, is that it doesn't do everything a laptop does. Kind of like the Kindle of netbooks. Kindle does one thing well, and seems to be selling alright. By removing complicated functionality, it's the perfect devic

My advice would be to put them on a trial period, and then decide to keep them or let them go. Don't wait 8 months to figure out they're not the right fit. Figure it out in 4 weeks, max. Oh, and watch this before they start: http://www.you

It's about making a point in efficiency and releasing, not launching, right. To get a useable prototype up to a level of completion where you can start to get user feedback doesn't take months, or even weeks if you're focused enough. The 77

"The other nice thing about Amazon is they let payers use their amazon payment accounts." Hardly convenient if you don't already have an account. The layers of sign-up added to the process creates too many hoops to make users jump through.

booking on any travel site (airfare, hotel) includes a fee at the end of the booking process. orbitz/expedia/hotels.com charge 16%+. 6-12% service fee actually favors the guest; the larger the total reservation, the smaller the fee. 3% is a
