I just spent a useless day not managing to get in serious productivity mode, and I tried 15 minutes of meditation -- I am SO relaxed now, it is like a short nap that also stretches your body and makes you high on oxygen... It's still very h

So, not to be too PC, but the OP's example seems really uncalled for. These people are basically facing colorectal cancer, possible metastasis, and probable death. I'd much rather pick up on people whose questionable (idiotic?) behavior com

This is more than a 'sweet' technology. It is a big step forward for the web, because it means that all the documents uploaded to Scribd are now fully indexable! They're now all accessible by crawlers, and will start showing up in search en

I wanted to share this blog post from a friend and entrepreneur, who was new to the idea of Lean Startups (you should read Eric Ries's blog Startup Lessons Learned here: http://startuplessonslearned.com ). He attended the Paris simulcast o

I'm very surprised that no one is standing up while working. I tried a couple times in the past, but never stuck with it. Prompted by an article I read this morning, I tried again this afternoon: http://bit.ly/dyBXft (my live reactions on

Oh I see, thanks. I didn't realize this kind of jurisprudence was linked to the child porn issues. Obviously that's a commendable reason to add exceptions to the 5th amendment.

Isn't that covered by the 5th Amendment (not 100% sure, I'm not American)?

Because in hardware IP travels with the machine. Opening one, potentially reverse-engineering it, or even just looking at it revealed quite a bit of information (for exemple the famous forward-facing camera, that we were waiting for on the

Well, total reach might be tough to pull off, but it would be definitely feasible to poll the Twitter API every hour and count the tweets with that hashtag that appeared in that time span. To justify cost to brands it might be easier/more '

This is so non-sensical it makes my brain hurt. How on earth do they not think that this would explode out of control if they started contacting individuals directly?

This is actually getting really scary. A short while ago a cartoonist from Seattle suggested to make May 20 'Everyone draws Muhammad' Day worldwide. Her cartoon went viral, a Facebook page was created, the exacerbated mix of anger/resentmen

Got it, and yes you're right. Ponzi schemes are devastating, and I see how my post could be misinterpreted. My bad, really. To clear things up regarding Facebook and the original link as well, I should explain that I have a really hard time

Local is a very interesting avenue for revenue growth. I'm very curious to see how location will play out on Facebook, especially with regards to Foursquare.

Yes, it's actually totally wrong. If you read carefully though, I'm not reporting Ponzi's story as it happened, but as I heard it for the first time from an econ professor, which may or may not have been pulling our legs.

Happy to be alive, no assistance. What don't you find coherent in my post? >irremediably tainted by the vileness of Bernie Madoff. My point here is that, while Ponzi schemes used to be a mostly overlooked white collar crime and a curios

Ha! I knew something was fishy in that econ class. :) Thanks a lot though. This is far more sinister than I suspected.

Woo. Let's chill out a bit. 1. I actually do like Facebook, and am very impressed by what they are pulling off. 2. I learned about Ponzi schemes a while back in macro theory class, before they were mainstream and irremediably tainted by the

I guess I can see too how using the 'Ponzi scheme' word is not warranted, as it makes it sound illegal.

Actually I think he is saying that they need their advertising revenues to grow in order to maintain perceived momentum in advertisers' minds, in order to have revenue at all. So it's more drastic than what you describe, assuming of course
