What is a reasonable guess here..hmmm. I have no idea about how much these motors would cost but I am assuming given the number of office chairs (which move up and down with a lever) we produce, they shouldn't be costing a lot. We get

Why are these things so damn expensive? Looks like they are fleecing money ( or it appears so for my cheapskate sensibilities ). Someone should start a kick-starter project to make good ones for a reasonable price.

I have been doing this for about a month now. I am kicking myself for not having made the switch anytime sooner. Come to think of it, I feel humans are just not designed to sit for long hours in chairs. Standing position is natural. You fee

He died at the young age of 32! What a tragedy! Simply amazing what he had accomplished by then. Always wondered the impact he would have had had he not died at such an young age.

There are also direct allegations on the Board ( except Doug Leone) that they were complacent, and did nothing in spite of being privy to all the alleged shenanigans of Bill Nguyen. This is serious stuff.

I am amazed at how well Google always treated, and still treats its employees. I am even more amazed at companies like Zynga, Amazon and other popular valley companies (both big and small) dont take a leaf or two from Google's playbook, and

Vinod Khosla talks about entrepreneurs having a deep understanding of an area instead of surface knowledge to make a difference. I guess, Nicira is one such example where deep technical know-how of founders helped them disrupt the networkin

Reminds me of Bing Gordon's talk at CEO summit about how professional ball players go out to the field and deliver consistently in comparison to rookies. Consistency matters. This is the single most import thing which sets them apart. They

For the sake of internet, valley and Yahoo! - I hope he succeeds big time. Yahoos deserve much better than a foul-mouthed, talentless and outdated CEO they ousted. I hope he lives up to the promise!

I would add, Bing Gordon from KPCB, to this list. Why would KPCB want to tarnish their image like this.

I was told my many folks I respect that Zynga is a sweat shop, and discouraged me going there. Now, with the options scandal, Zynga shot themselves in their foot. What is surprising is, Bing Gordon is on KP's board and an honorable, great c
