You should pre-populate the images with stock photos found on google images. Removes one more barrier if I'm going to use stock photos anyway. (Obviously clearly mark it as "stock photo", still make it easy to upload my own). This is really

I'd prefer having less total movies for streaming if they cut out all the B-movie crap. Or give us a [never ever ever show this again] button.

My LinkedIn rant: A year ago LinkedIn released the "Publications" section for your profile: http://blog.linkedin.com/2010/10/18/linkedin-profile-section... Now you can list your academic papers on your profile, awesome. The problem being

Do you feel having your own homepage is important? I wonder if the conversion rate would be higher if you funneled people directly into the Mac App Store web link. I'm now two weeks in, selling two Mac Apps: one for $2 and the other for $99

It's now more of an argument over the usefulness of the menubar, not which is easier to hit. Of course the Mac menu bar is easier to hit. The question to ask is why do we need a menubar at all? By not having a global menubar, Windows has pe

Fitts' Law is certainly not lost on large displays, set up Expose to use hotcorners and you'll be hitting infinite-width-targets hundreds of times per day. Same for screen edges: Taskbar buttons or the tabs in Chrome on Windows are awesome,

+1 for changing the URL color. I'd prefer it directly under the title as well. And maybe find a way to emphasize the important parts of the URL, cut out the random numbers.

Lots of weird stories, I posted this in another thread: "I was a little disappointed — Steve Jobs had indicated he'd write a foreword. But he'd never written a foreword before and I said, "Just write what we were like back then." "We sen

Your site is hard to use, because it doesn't look like a place where you should be dropping files/text. It looks like a normal website. Ditch the instructions, and instead make the site look like a "pad" where you can drag things. If it l

The worst is how "backspace" on a Google-Instant search page gives focus to the textbox and types a backspace rather than going Back in the history.

Do you have any advice/insight into picking a category for your app? I've noticed that some of the rarer categories are pretty dead... is the easier path to the top-10 more advantageous than a 'properly' categorized app? How much leeway doe

I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of the "Joel"-factor in this paragraph: That’s it. Those are your chances to get news. Under no circumstances can you expect to be covered because you take a walk in the woods with potential employees..

I-5 into Seattle has networked variable Speed Limit signs that reduce the speed for people approaching traffic jams. Same idea as this article I think, but no need for transceivers in every car.

I naturally had some very tech-heavy ideas (e.g., new approaches for mobile / social / local, new hardware devices). I found it hard to get my co-founders to react positively, even after spending hours trying to convince them of the opport
