I get it: The Beatles are huge, and Apple's had a colorful relationship with them. But why does that make tomorrow unforgettable? "While the move to digital does not quite rival the band’s first trip across the Atlantic to appear on “The E

Just a small addition to what everyone else is saying: After a couple months, no one will remember this event. (I always find it easier to deal with unfortunate or embarrassing situations when I'm reminded that they appear more severe and

I'm really interested to see how this redesign affects people's perception of Twitter. From the screenshots, it looks like this is a stepping stone to a more comprehensive social application. The paradigm indicated by the deeper content vie

I strongly disagree with your initial reaction (as do most people, it seems), but I upvoted you and am a bit perturbed that you were downvoted so heavily. Nothing in your comment was offensive or silly. You asked good questions respectful

I like your line of thought. When we talk about what's lacking from the world that prevents us from "holding our current society together", we tend to imply qualities that are somehow isolated from "intelligence": Morality, altruism, ideali

Those aren't the options most people weigh. Obviously it's better to make a decision than spend an eternity contemplating. But "making a decision" implies some amount of thought - some calculus for the choice . The article suggests that pe

On your site, it says "takes 2 minutes" below "Free Signup". It might just be me, but I stopped for a moment to wonder why the signup would take so long. I think that bit of text might have a different impact than you intended.

Coworking spaces are great. It's also good to remember that if you don't live near one - or can't get to one for whatever reason - you can always start your own space in your home. A relative of mine in Omaha, Nebraska has "Coworking Wednes

A relevant bit of information missing from your summary: We have Diaspora working, we like it, and it will be open-sourced on September 15th. I don't know if everyone knew that already, but it was news to me.
