I disagree. It is one thing to take notes during a lecture, and it is totally another thing to take photos every five seconds in a concert. Different people learn differently, for some people writing actually helps them learn better. Als

Totally agreed, the level of entitlement among the public is really amazing, especially when it comes to online/free services. CL is not a charity, it is not a non-profit. They can do anything they want, as long as it is legal. Of course

Yes, Chris and Kevin did the course very well, I even met Chris once. Couldn't follow up after the course, but I enjoyed the course thoroughly. It was very affordable (was lucky to get into the first batch).

This is awesome. I literally laughed out loud at my desk, turning heads. I really really hope you get a awesome designer/front end engineer, who also has a good sense of humor :)

This is a nice summary. Just out of curiosity - why do ebooks cost so much? (I am talking in general, not with respect to this particular book). Of course, the value of the content is high etc etc - but wouldn't pricing ebooks less make mo

haha, nice comment from Jeff Barr in that article We’re excited to see that you are excited about our excitement over our exciting series of releases. If we change to another adjective, the only logical post title would be “Amazon is no lo

That would be a huge sales point for them. Are you serious? Since when a shopper gives a damn about how his/her product is made? If that is the case, walmart would not be as big and profitable as they are today. No shopper (or very neg

bought a plan, out of curiosity. while I don't doubt the results, the website is quite un-friendly for beginners. 1. There is just one line, saying "if you don't know what this means, just go to bodybuilding.com and search for it". It'd t

one of my ex-colleagues used to do this. He had two monitors, one for running some video (youtube, netflix etc) and other was for his work stuff. I could never understand how he could do both at the same time. I assumed, either his work

I'm not sure I understand why it is so bad. Yes, it is in bad taste, and yes it is wrong to copy layouts (probably illegal to copy layouts). But copying the business model itself? what is wrong with that, especially when the 'original' co

nice work, and inspirational. There was another one, a while ago, two guys built an iPhone app from scratch, and launched it successfully. No prior programming experience, mobile or otherwise. I can't remember the app name right now :(

Factories replaced farms, cubicles replaced factories At least on farms/agriculture, we get a chance to be outside with nature, and stay healthy/fit (even though it is much harder work). What have we got to show for modern day cubicles?

what prevents the labels from having a secret agreement, that will exclude their employees/execs/subsidiaries etc from these lawsuits? "If you get caught playing my music, I'll make sure you don't get punished. you do the same for me. but

okay, thanks for the numbers. they sure are enormous. some points though: people would buy far fewer DVDs people are anyway not buying DVDs, whether the studios like it or not. the studios can't do anything about it. I can't remember t

why would they spend insane amounts of time and money on brokering horrible laws? Even if these laws did pass today, they would surely crumble in a few years? Why would they work so hard, to gain the hatred and displeasure of the very publ

Is it necessary to just pick one role model? or admire just one guy? Instead of admiring people as a whole, can't we just admire (and pick, emulate etc) habits/principles from many people (and ignore the 'jerk' behavior etc)? For example,

I dunno who this guy is, but he sure is funny: This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something. You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.

One good thing that did come out of this - I can't remember people protesting so much, in a united way online, against any issue. Last year it was against oppressive regimes, this year it is against stupid bills. People are using the in

I guess both you and the parent are right - You definitely had advantage over people from poorer/war torn countries etc - but you did work for what you achieved, it didn't just come to you for free :)

Google charging heavily for maps is a good thing, in a way - more alternatives will come up, which are (hopefully) cheaper, and not locked to one company's whims
