The first Svbtle layout was by far the best designed blog layout at the time - the sidebar with a description of the writer was very well built. This new layout is interesting - reminds me a lot of Medium.

It's shocking that physical products don't go through the same amount of testing as web/digital products. It's an extremely important stage of product development and it's great that companies like Crowdery are maki

The $9.99 to request sex is an interesting way to fix the supply and demand problem of women and men. For $9.99, you can request sex from as many females as possible, without any guarantee that any of them will say yes. This will inevitably

I guess that's a part of the challenge. There's nothing on the page that indicates what the second step could be, I gave up.

When Apple parted ways with Steve in the 80s, they did so because they changed the direction of the company and disagreed with his leadership vision. This time, it's the complete opposite and he will be remembered forever at the compan

Seeing that YC's demo day is coming soon, it's awesome to be able to peer into PG's mind - this essay along with "How to Convince Investors" must be the exact advice relayed on to the current YC batch.

This was probably made as a joke, but I've had a lot of friends ask me what the best way to unfollow a lot of people on Twitter is. This could be way more efficient than using Twitter's web UI.

"Our phones, on the other hand, aren’t great for creating things but they’re perfect for browsing and reading content." Tell that to Instagram, Vine, Twitter, or Smule. Mobile phones are amazing creation tools.

How randomly? Is there a lottery system? Would be awesome to see what hashing algorithm is used to determine the winner. The NBA draft has a "random" selection process with lottery balls, yet every year people think it's rigg
