Flipping through ABTests.com, I was hard pressed to find pages that tested having the call to action (CTA) on the left vs. CTA on the right. I did find one for basecamp where they flipped left to right but it may not be the reason for the i

There's an article every day on hacker news about violations of people's rights in the United States. Yesterday it was about the FBI using gag orders to illegally get information about citizens. Today it is Obama violating the US constituti

I doubt most people are aware of that. I stopped paying attention to news about color after I tried the app. I only learned this "feature" of color because I was reading news about snooping.

One thing the article left me wondering... what should I do? My bias makes me think that the cheap supermarket meats have more of this resistant staph than farmers market or whole foods meat. Is that a fallacy?

I didn't get the sense that the article was critical of Rand. It seemed more like it was bashing the movie. An Atlas Shrugged movie could be awesome. The book conjures such vivid images of grandeur and destruction. It's a shame this trilogy

I took a quick look through the mocks and my gut tells me it's a little too ambitious for a first version. Focus on one problem real people have that other social platforms don't solve well, and do it well. Cloning facebook's featureset doe

I have a PS3. If I make modifications to it and talk about those modifications online, is that knowingly putting myself in harms way? Who owns my PS3? And what right does anyone else have to dictate what knowledge I share online about my PS

If you have an iPhone 4, and you haven't played Infinity Blade, it's a great game and looks beautiful. I am on the verge of buying an iPad 2 for two reasons. 1. I lost my iPad and have a bunch of software I paid for. 2. Infinity blade on a

Users take the path of least resistance. Piracy is appealing because it gives users what they want, when they want it, at a low enough cost (both in time and money) that they don't think about the transaction. The content owners have taken

One of our awesome devs made a campfire bot too. It spits out a pivotal tracker ticket status, the weather, does a google image search among a few other things. I don't want to give away everything since I didn't build it. One hack we're ta

What makes you think that there's anything more "real" about 1999 IPOs relative to 2011 valuations? They are both numbers based on hypothetical best case scenarios that some pool of idiots have imagined (a much larger pool of idiots in the

Great example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". It's an interesting technology, but besides making CNNs coverage of elections more X-treme, who is going to use this?
