I've always had a love/hate relationship with growl. Sometimes it just seems a bit excessive and overly distracting. With growl being a paid app now, will developer support wane? Now that I have to buy it, it might be a good reason to

It's nice that newsblur is maintained by a HNer, but the aesthetics of it are a real turn off for me.

This would be great if you could tie it to a helium balloon and anchor it down with fishing line or the like. You could let it fly up 50 feet or so and capture some amazing images.

It would be ad hominem if I were trying to prove the claims of this article incorrect by critiquing him personally, but I clearly wasn't trying to disprove the claims of the article. Citing wikipedia: "Gratuitous verbal abuse or "name-calli

I'm talking about your comment: "He was right back then, and he's still right today. Not many people can claim that." There is no argument there other than, 'he's right because he's right.'

This is a repost. I once respected Kawasaki, however he has turned into a huge social media spammer and baiter.

I like the idea of adding game mechanics to daily deals, but I'm not really sold on the idea of doing it for travel. Seems like it would be best if it were applied to products that can be sold in more locations. Travel would need to be ci

I find the title of this article to be completely irrelevant to its contents. Dropping out of school and starting a business does not relate to Timothy Leary's famous tagline which was about opening your mind via drugs and dropping out of

In order for you to have an argument here you need to demonstrate how I 'read the article improperly'.

I think he is telling people to do exactly what he did. He has products talking about 'money making' and 'guest blogging', and the conclusions that he draws at the end tell you almost exactly what to do to be like him. Also if you read my

I don't think the post is meant to be just generally motivational, he lays out specific tasks that people should do that align with what he did. He isn't just saying 'go out and live your dreams.' He is saying 'go out and live my dreams

I think you missed the context of my comment. This article is a double edged sword. Sure it contains a 'pick yourself up by your bootstraps' call to action but the other edge is that they are marketing the exact solution to the problem tha
