A good dose of common sense regarding standing desks is in order. Basically you're trading one set of hazards for another. "Individuals spending most of the day on their feet every working day are at greater risk of health problems includin

I think there is good reason to be skeptical of hardcore sports fans who are above a certain age. Sports all use the same basic tricks to trigger to pleasure mechanisms of the brain. As such, anyone who is sufficiently intelligent should be

The 'product guy' is the former engineer who thinks he knows what the customer wants. Usually they also think they know how to do proper UX design but usually fall back to copying whatever is hot at the moment.

While "social" is sort of mainstream (in the sense that everyone and their mother is on Facebook), there's hardly any money in it. The vast majority of Internet users spend their time doing three things on the web: Facebook, e-mail, and tim

The best idea that came out of something like TechCrunch Disrupt is an "X of Y" (AirBnb of cars). A ton of people struggled to come up with Internet companies and that's the best we can do? To me, that's a clear sign of solutions looking

The infamous "facebook login" search has some interesting correlations: http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=facebook+login&... Also, there seems to have been a huge drop-off in this search over the last few months.

It was a deliberate choice. When packing for a trip to NY and thinking about what you're going to wear onstage, one does not "accidentally" wear socks with sandals. Pg is a very smart guy - clearly he knows what the impact would be. I think

Where is the search box? That's the first question the vast majority of users will ask when first presented with this UI. Like it or not, the search box is how most users navigate the web.

"I have worked with literally hundreds of programmers over my career. None have been better than me." Really? In every aspect of programming? In every language? This is the typical prima donna bullshit that pervades this industry. I pity an

Right, but why do they need a huge influx of cash just to keep growing an already successful enterprise? Especially when the founders have to give up some control over the company to get it. 3. Profit! 4. Raise VC Money 5. ???

I'm puzzled. What are they going to use all that capital for? The business already seems quite successful and profitable.

Maybe the difficulty in hiring good people is because the CEO is clueless? Any hacker with half a brain would stay far, far away from this company.

I don't understand the outrage here. The App Store is private property. The owner of that property (Apple) has the right to use that property as they see fit. Developers are also free to agree to the terms of the App Store or not. The purch

Anti-trust applies here just as much as it applies to theaters who don't allow customers to bring in their own food.
