I'm curious as to why you singled out the GFE as "falling short". I don't necessarily disagree with you, but between your GFE, TIL and a handful of other things, you "should" be provided with a decent high lev

I agree that it's presumptuous to give yourself big ol' gold star, as a "top developer". I don't consider myself one, but if I had to define it, I would say that they were within the top 10-20% percent of whatever a

I think this is an interesting idea, but wouldn't it come off a bit preachy? Like "I haven't even worked for your company one day and I already know a better strategic direction to take it. Your management is useless. Hire me." Maybe I

I don't think Microsoft can reasonably compete with Apple in the hardware game. Apple's too good, and they have too much practice. I'm still shocked at their Surface tablet strategy, as I think a lot of people are. They don't have a part

I apologize if I'm missing some blatant sarcasm, but could you elaborate? All of the points in the article (which I'm hoping you read) seem valid. Groupon has never felt like a good deal at even half it's current share price. To me, it

Working for a small business (as well as trying to target small businesses myself), I think this is all great advice. I would add that you can't underestimate the non-traditional forms of marketing. Pick a sub-segment of your business. If

So we have this, Open ID, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft Passport/Live ID, and probably like five other major players I'm forgetting. I apologize for being pessimistic, but this just doesn't seem like a solvable problem. I want it

This seems like a good first step. I never understood why people think we should try and abolish software patents. We can't. Period. There's too much money in them. We can attempt to reform or reshape them so they are less destructive,

Do you have any suggestions on how to "get involved" in the Chicago startup scene? I'm in the burbs, and I'd love to drive in for meetups or any garden variety "Chicago startup" thing, but I haven't had much success finding anything worthw

1. I can spill most things on my Kindle, or leave it in sunlight; I have a cover. 2. Amazon allows Kindle book lending, but the majority of publishers do not enable it on their books. But this isn't a problem with the Kindle specifically.
