No way I would want to share my searches with my friends. Far too many personal and private details there; it would be a mess to try to sync up what I might want shared with whom.

Since day 1, I've been a fierce opponent of iTunes. Although there are now sort-of alternatives, it's one of my strong reasons for not wanting any Apple i* products. The saddest thing for sure was back in the day, when it was even less usef

Make a persuasive video pitch, add geekery, put it on Reddit. Flawless Victory. Make the check for my fee payable to... n.b., do be careful or someone like 4chan might get wind of it and decide to hack / game the system in order to have som

As a current college student sending out a lot of cover letters and resumes at present, I have to say I sure wish that the resume was obsolete. I definitely try to supplant it personally with my online branding / presence, but right now p

I can see good reasons for Facebook to build a phone, and would bet even money that that's what they're doing right now. However... Media: "Facebook is making a phone!?" FB: "No, absolutely not. Definitely not." Media: "Well, that's exactly

I think that decent, comfortable headphones - for a third of that cost - could do a lot of the same job without the added expense.

It doesn't seem like all hot air. Problem is, how to actually apply? Their jobs page doesn't have any links or email addresses.

Great story! Impressive that you were able to pull it together all the same. Two questions: 1) At what stage did you realize that you really wished you had some help? 2) Looking back, what capacity / role do you most wish someone else had b

I'm not going to upvote any of these comments just to prove the theory false!

While there is always room to create your own role depending on what you bring to the table, in my existential struggles on this topic recently I have come to the conclusion that there isn't really a very satisfying role to be had unless yo

That Apple store has the highest percent of "come in to play with / look at Apple products" customers that I have seen in any Apple store. They do make a lot of sales still, of course...

Coasting / running on momentum is not enough to defend the future prospects - stock prices are based on future expectations, not present success!

Might be a nice 'to-have,' but it was so easy to sign up I wouldn't really mind either way. It would take almost exactly as long to use connect / oauth as to put in info, since no email authentication or anything is needed. Especially since

I thought it was really neat! First thoughts: Would be helpful to have shadowed "username / password" in the first fields. I wasn't sure if those were for registering, or for logging in, or what. So that would be helpful. Second thoughts:

I'd be interested to know stats about the impact of Y Combinator on companies with a nice control setup. Revealed preference: people who get in, but choose not to go to Y Combinator, vs. those who do... or something like that.

Flashbacks to summer 2009 - Twitter has lots of way to make money, and is doing so quite well at present. Sponsored trending topics, ads in the tweet stream, geo things, local things, other kinds of corporate tie ins... I don't know enough

I've had bad problems in the Tenderloin but during the daytime I really enjoy upper / lower haight, find it to be very lovely. Beautiful houses and lots of nice shops and restaurants.

I've had problems with Muni, but uh, nothing ever that bad. The bigger beef for me is that on most bus routes, from A to B less than a mile, you can outwalk the bus.

I try to use them... whether the new Presidential ones or otherwise. People get angry and I say, you'll take your dollar coins and like them!

Obviously, I agree. I think that pennies are unfortunate for the opportunity cost, among other things. I like them for nostalgia and wouldn't want them to die completely, but if they went the way of the $2 bill, that would be OK - rare nove

Whether Google Fiber ends up coming to Ann Arbor, keep fighting for the cause! A municipal effort could do much the same of what Google is doing. At the very least, it often scares companies into offering more competitive service!

I thought the game was really neat. Very impressive. Feedback: 1) Control scheme was not as intuitive as it could be. Maybe it would be more obvious on an iPhone using my finger? I lost 95% of my health trying to figure out how to move my c

My advice is to try to find a middle ground here, since the mental and other risks associated with option #2 might undermine your awesome ambitions. What's your current visa status?

It's like the normal version, except very fast! In the case of Google Instant, results start to show up as soon as you start typing. So if you wanted to find a page about "Vermont," you would see: v... [results about "v for vendetta," let's

This was definitely an interesting case - I think I am angry at MSFT for not trying to do more to stand behind civil society groups. For those interested, here is a direct link to the NYT article that Engadget just has a blurb about: http:

Post your resume here for more feedback... or e-mail me, happy to offer suggestions. It's hard to say which projects you should or should not post without having some exposure to the scales you are talking about. What I can say from firstha

One thing that worries me about the android-as-tablet platform is that it's one space where a less strict control of the OS/hardware combinations means that there will be a lot of BAD products that come out, especially those that are racing

Too bad I'm not a software hacker, and don't speak Japanese! I have a lot of experience selling Pocky and Ramune to teenagers, and speak Chinese fairly well, have studied in China... anyhow. Sounds like great fun. Share stories, whoever joi
