I think the ticket analogy is a little loose. Once tickets are sold out, there are none left to buy but from the scalpers. Apple will make more iPads if they sell out. The supply is almost limitless.

I don't think Denton deserves all the credit for this controversy - although he's an easy target because he's the face of Gawker. The authors and editors of Gizmodo are responsible as well...

I don't remember Apple charging for matte screens on the pre-unibody MBP's. When did they start charging? Am I wrong here?

I chatted back and forth via Git commit messages with another dev I was pairing with. When we turned the project over to the client, their developer sent an email a few days later on how funny the messages were.

The RoR Meetup in Nashville does a good job of sourcing jobs to its active members. We're a b-list town and there aren't that many Rails devs here, so I'm curious how RoR Meetups in larger cities function...

Hear, hear. The MightyWords story was awesome. Chris seems so relatable. I wish there was more videos of him speaking and telling stories. Good job Andrew, this was an awesome interview.

I think the data is skewed; most email marketing is used for B2B, rather than B2C. And many people have more than one email address and in a corporate environment, it shouldn't be surprising Gmail falls below 10%.

So how will the government lower costs without sacrificing quality of care?
231.
by tbrooks 17y ago
I would argue that government involvement in the private sector is why our system is broken. I don't mean for this to sound snarky, but what nation runs a better health care system than the US? The quality (for the cost) of medical care i

by tbrooks 17y ago
In order to bring down the cost of health care, the government would have to operate the system more efficiently than the market does. I can't think of anything the government operates more efficiently than the market does.

I don't think so, we only handled authors that had radio and/or television shows. Radio is great for driving local traffic to book stores. We were 4/4 for #1 NY Times Bestsellers.

I worked for a media company a few years back and we would hack the NYT by selling "limited edition" autographed copies of books. We paid authors $5/signature and sold the book for $10 over MSRP. The author pre-signed thousands of books th

I'm surprised US schools are pilloried in the press. These are public schools, all this information is available through Freedom of Information Act. The press would have a field day, if say, your local school district booked Dan Pink for $

"No wonder schools can't get inspirational speakers." Uh really? I was an agent at a bureau (same as oldgregg) and only booked speakers for K-12 events. The average speaker fee I booked was above $10k. Schools DEFINITELY have money to b

Microsoft's success (and failure in many areas) extends beyond communication styles. In part, Microsoft developed a "we know best" culture that fails to see both opportunities and hazards. Being so inwardly focused creates a low sense of ur
