I find the notion of failing as something that should be aspired to worrisome. Often the cost of failure is too high. You don't want an airliner-pilot to seek failure. If banks make a big mistake and we slide into recession, people loose jo

I like the idea. Would prefer something customizable though so I can display my own links.

I've spent some time in Japan and from what I remember it must be the toughest place for a foreigner to start a business on the planet. You have to have Japanese people acting on your behalf and then still 1000 things can go wrong.

Being from Germany I'd also like to point out that that there's another country that did very well throughout the recent recession, namely our neighbor Poland. The reasons there are probably quite different and also have very little to do w

The implementation is really smooth, but - while not being a very frequent visitor of Reddit at all - I've got the impression that minus lost to imgur. But apparently the Internet isn't Reddit.

As for books on a similar topic I found Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird" both inspiring and enjoyable. Link: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Bird-by-Bird/Anne-Lamott/e/...

The key here is doing things every day. You don't need a special calendar on the wall. Humans are creatures of habit. If your habit is to slack off five days of the week then you will find it difficult to be productive on the remaining two

Same URL gives me different results on the phone and on the desktop. Apparently Google doesn't link them? I'm using the same GMail-Account on both though.

Rüdiger, yor nick sounds like you're from Germany. Care to chat? If yes, email me pls (see profile).

Exactly. But how can one oppose new methods of the closed, proprietary system that generates revenue, when the open alternative doesn't?

Same here. Although I'm doing a slightly different thing, I'd still love to chat. Perhaps I can offer some input as well.

This is cute but neither solves a problem of any sort, nor does it give any satisfaction to comment there, nor do most people feel the need to fish for compliments like that. (That's all just in my opinion of course.)

That's why he's actually a good candidate for being an editor. He is probably the personality type I like to call "football referee". Sticks to the rules even if he thinks they are unfair. I think such people are indeed very necessary for t

It's good for old people and aggressive people that frequently like to throw their phones away, because they are cheap. Nobody else will buy it just because its got a "minimalist design". The iPhone has only one button.. seems even more min

Not to mention the inability to browse on a desktop browser. I'd like a feature where I surf on the web and select apps, and later that day I press a "Sync" button of sorts and get the apps.

I suppose this will hurt the competition, sites like sendgrid and mailchimp.

Doesn't Incognito browsing, like present in Chrome, remedy all these worries?

Does adding "Login with Facebook" really increase signups that much? Anyone here with experience with that? I'd imagine people are not so keen to share their FB-identity, even with sites like Flickr.

Could be fun for children on the iPad/Galaxy Tab I guess. If you provide a couple outline-images (Disney-licensed characters would be best I guess..) and better tools to color them, e.g. other brushes. Right now it does not appear to be a f

Hm. The people that hate/don't like T. Ferriss: Can you summarize in one sentence why? (I understand that we sometimes just don't like people for no conscious reason, perhaps some of you failed following his book, but there must be more?)
