It boils down to the cliche "if you think you are unique, you are probably an asshole". The mere fact that you manage to find a co-founder in your own country/city is enough to prove that there are lot of other people in ROW going in the sa

No browser fanboyism intended but on a related note, Firefox is showing me popup ads on Justin.tv. It does not happen anywhere else (chrome). Surprising! ps: I have been an ardent Firefox user always

Oh yeah, Yahoo is the creepiest among all of them. But it generally happens when you install something from Yahoo, say Yahoo messenger!

A private invite for such a hyped product will add more to the interest among people who haven't been invited. Good going!

I don't think having 10000 followers on twitter means much in terms of numbers, because lot of people just play the "you follow-I follow" game there. But there is a good chance of finding some 100 odd genuinely interested followers who soon

The entire post can be summarized in its last line - "Eventually we'll find out if he's Jeff Bezos . . . or Jerry Yang."; and it is definitely a perspective, not a conclusion. So, no need to go high for/against Zuckerberg. The way Facebook

I will just put into words what everyone would feel after reading this - "never regret". I recently quit my job with enormous optimism that I will definitely manage to do something on my own; but I do face the days when I start thinking abo

I took the decision a little too early. I should have checked it earlier that there is no legal way to develop iPhone apps on Linux except (probably)buying OS X and running it on a virtual machine and almost ditto goes for Windows.

Nothing major. But currently I am seriously regretting my decision to buy an iPhone instead of android.

It's never too late if you have a mammoth no users already in one or other form (OS, Windows phone et al.). If MS still opens up the browser and start giving some goodie bags to the developers, something similar to other app stores, we migh

Its high time Microsoft opened up IE for Linux, Mac and developers. This step alone could get a bit of attention back to Microsoft in app arena. Microsoft is such a big name that people tend to try out it's product just out of curiosity, wi

"Quit your job" is not the crux here. The crux here is "Live your life" and one way of achieving it could be quitting your job. And I think the cut-out is trying to convey the same. It actually says "IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR JOB, QUIT" rather

A cliche says that getting recognition at work is more about the attitude rather than the work; but in my experience it is a mix of both. If the quality of work is good and you have let people know that you know that your work is good, reco

Ya, and that is mostly because FB is not a dedicated search engine, it is rather a Social networking site. When people actually want to search for a product, they google it. If FB decides to jump into the dedicated search market, with all t

I totally agree with the fact that it will take a lot on Facebook's side to beat Google. And as you said, FB will need enormous amount of data to target end-user advertising. But I think FB today is probably the most-fed website on a daily

I have never read a "how to get hired" book ever; and if those books sound like this, I am so thankful that I did not read it during my college. What is the crux of whole write-up? Is it trying to say that anybody who keeps stalking a compa

Probably this is becoming most clichéd question :) Generating a totally unique idea and selling it to people will probably get you another "Apple"(I don't mean it literally). But till the time it does not happen, there is nothing wrong with

My comment was meant for the literal meaning for "Bee sting". What if I replace "bee sting" with a "cut finger". You will say whether it is one finger off from your body or 10 fingers off... it hurts the same!!!... so no need to pay attenti

The theory of "car dent" and "no of dishes in sink" are kind of justified but the "protagonist" of the article i.e. no of bee stings does not fit with the theory of poverty at all. Does not matter if someone has one or ten bee stings, peopl
