How is it strange? A service that's used by maybe <.00001% of the human population, compared to a service used by 500 million+ of the poorest population. How can they even compare?

Looks like Amazon is trying to do to ebooks what Spotify and Netflix have done to music and content. The pricing is interesting. At $9.99, it's more than Netflix and the same as Spotify. I'm not sure if anyone will binge read book

The thing with big brand advertising is that they aren't trying to gain new customers. They're cementing their place in existing industry. Coca Cola pretty much captured as much market as possible. Yet they still advertise to refr

Exactly. I've a feeling he was already on his way out, but there wasn't a clear path to do so.

For me, the ideal solution is just get rid of the fixed bar, and have a clickable menu drop down. I don't want a page to analyze every of my behaviors and try to predict what I want to do. Sometimes I just like to scroll up and down to

This isn't about an individual. Of course Really Good People can come from anywhere, but not with the same probability. And when you're recruiting, you want to hit schools with high concentration of talents. You'd be lying to

I think the more interesting point to note here, is BBC's toedipping into this type of listicle content. In a recent internal report[1], BBC was suggested to be mindful of Buzzfeed's stragegy. To quote from the article: >The re

Funny you brought the 40% up. The Chinese government doesn't like foreign investors controlling financial companies in China. So Alibaba spun off its Alipay service into a separate company, without the approval of investors. Yahoo wasn

For me, the game is more about the increasing complexity of life and the difficulty in managing it. As a toddler, all you had tow worry about was play and learn. Pretty soon, you add in jobs, worries, lovers, heartbreaks, friendships, losin
