I frequently see users type www.microsoft.com or similar into Google. I think people see Google as their address bar, as generally it's set as the home page. Asking a user what the address in the address box/bar is often ends with a blank e

Until I read this I had never even realised that the Woolworths logo was in the shape of an apple, and they are my local supermarket.

I'm the opposite, I had been pronouncing it correctly, but thinking the whole time i was incorrect and it was supposed to start with the sound post!

I assume the OP is looking for startups that applied to YC and were not accepted and then went on to success afterwards.

I noticed that too! A great Aussie success story brings us all out! :)

As an example of Steve's commitment to Rentoid, he lists his mobile phone number on the site and actively encourages people to call it. He's had calls at all times of the day and night, however the feedback he gets from his customers thro

I didn't know that. Mustafa Ilhan was his real name, not John Ilhan. There you go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ilhan

I don't get it either, sorry. If I win and gain the followers wagered, don't they still have to unfollow my opponent and follow me? Why would they do this unless they were participating in the game? Or can you only wager people who are play

From my experience, sales people need to have a large financial incentive to get motivated, therefore small retainer, open ended commission. Also, I've never liked flashy sales people. They may say all the right things, but to me this isn't

The high school I attended (10 years ago) has had 4 students commit suicide in the last 6 months. Western Heights College in Geelong, Australia has a student population of around half of Caltech's. This has made major headlines in the Austr

I couldn't agree with you anymore. I fit your description perfectly too. Albums are a group of songs put together for a reason. They flow, have beginnings and endings. The progression of songs tells a story, it makes sense. I would hate to

I use the Google Apps/Gmail interface also. I've found that as it has matured over time there are less reasons I would want a desktop client and more reasons for having the portability of a cross platform, location independent web interface

My take on this though is that if the pricing was more affordable then piracy would be less prevalent. One of the reasons that OS X has a lower level of piracy is that their OS pricing is more affordable (I'll admit there are many other fac

The most important lesson here is that no amount of security on a website/server/physical piece of hardware will stand up to the test if the user is lax in their usage. Social engineering is the new wave of security breaches and it would se

There was a case in Sydney, Australia recently which highlighted this. A school boy was lost in bushland and called 000 (Australian 911)and they asked that he give them a street address to which they could send an ambulance. As he was in th

Does the T400 actually match IBM's claims though? My understanding is that the new sealed battery MB & MBP models achieve the number quoted by Apple, which is generally a rarity in notebook battery claims.

@tdm911's guide to twitter: Use it as you wish. There is no right, wrong or otherwise. This is the best thing about twitter! Please note: This doesn't mean I will enjoy you spamming non-stop or endlessly RTing celebs. Your choice though and

I'm not at all surprised that the GM executives are too tightly wrapped up in their cocoons to drive their own products (with the exception of heavily tweaked versions). Given their inability to recognise the shift in the auto industry over

The point I liked the best was 6. Don’t break the system. I know people loved the see all tweets option, but 97% of us had it turned off for a reason. Adding a character to the front of a tweet (which thankfully seems to be stopping) just i

I believe it would be, though it will involve some work. The reason why so many people install OS X on netbooks such as the Dell Mini 9 is that people have gone to the trouble of ensuring there are working drivers etc. You will be alone mos

I have one of the new Unibody MacBooks and it's as well built, sturdy and polished as any laptop I've ever seen. Particularly what strikes me is it's strength and structural rigidity. You can hold it by the corner and there is no flex whats

Unfortunately it is for many people. Thankfully we have the unfollow button for those that feel the need to organise every facet of their life via twitter.

I disagree. Their current 'There's an app for that' advertising campaign is clearly targeted at people who would like certain applications on their phone, irrespective of the phone itself. If they see the iPhone can do what they wish, they

It was an option. They took it away.

I've always had this option switched off as I found the noise was too much (and I only follow 240 people). With all @ replies turned on you only get half the conversation when you're not following the third person. I found the best way to f

I started using the web around 1995, so I guess that depends on what time period you are referring to. I certainly didn't use it before the first graphical browsers appeared! I guess my point is things like Gmail, flickr, last.fm etc would

Unfortunately the web as we know it would largely not exist without advertising revenue. Think of all the free services we enjoy each day, they are all funded through advertising of some description. If there were no advertising on the web,

Wow, even Amazon had a flaming logo in the 90's! I don't feel so bad now!
