Let me explain why secure boot/trusted computing matters for me personally. More of my life is conducted on a computer than ever. My family photos, banking transactions, files are all stored on a computer. Meanwhile, Flash and Adobe Reader

On the contrary. Luxury items have a very clear messaging. "The user is sophisticated, and does not want to feel stupid." "The user is King, and does not want to be bothered with the details of how hard the machine has to work to satisfy Hi

What Apple has executed is actualy mass luxury. Its goods are perceived as high value objects, where status is more important than breadth of functionality (more on this later). Perception is very important. For instance, a discount store w

Strange how Adobe can deliver a mobile Reader in 2.7 Mb, but the PC version is a 126 Mb monstrosity. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=...

Let's put it this way, you have an employee who is now pretty much integrated into your business, and there might be a bit of trouble at work or things are going through a rough patch, and he is unhappy. You'd probably be unhappy if an ex-e

I believe this is because they are lagging behind the US in terms of economic growth story. In fact, I predict that the Chinese will enjoy fewer years of middle class prosperity than the US.

You are clearly very capable. What are you doing now?

Exactly. If the state of the world is that people can separately come up with the same "trade secrets", then there is a case against it being patentable.

by teyc 15y ago
The real problem is in people patenting ideas that are of dubious innovation. In fact, the patent office should negate patent applications if identical ones appear within months of one another. This is because it shows that there is no genu

1. Don't do things by yourself. 2. Make a small commitment - and keep it.

It is applicable in every part of life actually. Sometimes you notice that you are only spinning but not moving. Recognizing it is the key.

I'm sorry, you are a startup. If you shutdown in 12 month's time, if we used your services for critical functionality like authentication, we'd be up s t creek, wouldn't we?

It is entirely normal to feel the way you do at the moment. Chalk it up to learning. Try to remember what didn't happen to you: 1. You didn't join the army and your leg got blown off. 2. You didn't work in an asbestos factory and now you ar

Let's say you want to target the agrisoftware business. You might see if they don't have a tablet offering - then write a simple data collection app for farmers. There'd surely be forums online to give you some idea. Then show it to them, a

How can you say entrepreneurship is a secret cult when there are so many small businesses in Brazil? Your problem right now is you lack domain specific knowledge. Over here in Australia, there are several software companies focussing on agr

The humour is classic Jobs. When he introduced the original Macintosh, it began with a speech synthesizer telling a joke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B-XwPjn9YY&feature=relat... forward to 3:20

The point is to make a good design decision up front, and then not having to worry about it every day.

Best to get over it. This will not be the first time or the only time it has happened to an entrepreneur.

Steve Jobs dropped out of college, had zilch technical skills but still managed to be employee #40 at Atari. The best rule in life is "there is only one Steve Jobs".

This is interesting because when Jobs left the computer industry, a large part of his life there enjoyed little specialisation. I remember reading folklore.org where Steve was hanging around when Hertzfeld, Burrell Smith and the like wirewr

thank you for being so honest. A full answer would take a whole book, but could you outline what part of the process was unwieldy, and what you had to rewrite as you learned more about the user experience? In particular, since you are using
