You made a good point. Those floppy disk icons probably mean nothing to Gen X. I'll refrain from using that icon on my websites/apps from now on.

Water definitely, unless I feel so sick of the taste(lessness) of water I'd get an ice lemon tea. By the way I hate energy drinks but at times they can be life savers... Here's another post for discussion about the best hacker food http://

"Planned scarcity" is the term. But I still think "lending" is a step forward to enable booking sharing, while preserving the incentive for writers to keep writing. Needless to say Amazon will take a cut in this feature, perhaps some to the

Wait, so the US stopped mining rare earth material for environmental concerns, but wants China to mine more of them and export the material to the US - what about the environment in China? And remember when "an incovinient truth" was at its

Read the productivity bible "Getting Things Done" (GTD), which outlines a systematic approach to get yourself more organised and ready to take actions. If in doubt, just google "GTD" to find out more. There are tons of third-party applicati

That wasn't what I meant. What I was saying was that you want to inspire your employees with your vision, so that they feel a sense of purpose in your startup. When your startup is making meaning not just money, the satisfaction they get fr
