Fascinating article and followup on some of Castro's changing views "Fidel to Ahmadinejad: 'Stop Slandering the Jews'" http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/09/fid... "Fidel: 'Cuban Model Doesn't Even Work For Us Anymore'"

Chartbeat is very cool, but I wonderful how useful it actually is. Is the idea to modify content on the fly as it gains traction? I just don't really see how this service adds value (read: increases my revenue, pageviews, xxx), besides some

Interesting that in 1994 6.1 billion made you the second richest man in the country. And that Microsoft's $25 billion market cap is compared with Kodak.

It'd be more useful to have this list for all browsers, rather than just the one you happen to be using.

They certainly do and deserve credit for not completely screwing them up. But besides keeping them running, has Google really done much to further either success? Blogger has remained pretty stagnate for the last few years. Would anyone her

Google purchased Youtube and Blogger after they had both hit big-time traction. I'd hardly credit either success to Google. And Buzz a home run? Really?

But remember one of their largest costs is also disappearing. Newspapers almost certainly lost money per copy by selling it for 50¢, and made up for it by selling ads. The problem will be selling that same metaphor of "copies" or subscripti

"Software companies that want to change the world have to be free, at least initially." Why? I can think of plenty of software companies that changed the world with a paid product (Oracle, Microsoft, etc.)

One thing I'm struck by is how willing Hastings is to kill a a feature or product that isn't quite ready. They wait until the timing is right and then change the game. "No" (or, "not yet") is often the better answer.

I think the distinction isn't between family and friends- it's about the way different relationships work. It would be okay to loan money to your parents or your children- there's a clear power relationship in both of these, of obligation b

Can you really call this a review? It's two paragraphs of chapter summary mixed with a sentence ("Programming Clojure is certainly a worthwhile book for any Java and Lisp enthusiasts to read") of lukewarm opinion.

Your pricing plan page is especially difficult to read, let alone trying to compare the 3 different plans. Take a look at 37Signals' or even Apple's. I click on the screenshot on the about page to see it larger, but it's the same (small) si

Great idea. I'd work on the left hand navigation some more. Coming to your site without the background you give here, I don't know what "categories" means. Additionally, it's disappointing to click around and have some categories without an

The value of Google's services, at least for me, is that they all work together. I can login from an internet cafe in the middle of nowhere and have all my contacts in my email program, the same ones synced to my iPhone. I don't know if I b

Google knows who my friends are (Contacts), what I'm saying to them (Gchat/Gmail), where I'm going (Gmaps), what I'm reading (Reader), what I'm writing (Docs) and what I'm looking for (Search). As far as I'm concerned, operating systems are
