One touch to open Camera app. One touch to post pic. Multiple apps to see what the pic looks like on my wall? Multiple apps to post snarky comment about pic on my friend's timeline? May be you are right that this is a use-case tech people h

Not to mention that Facebook at present is automatically assuming that I want to be left alone. Spam has never been a problem for me and there isn't enough spam in my Other folder to justify it for me . On the other hand, it took me months

The wonderful spin they put on this is: "For the receiver, this test allows them to hear from people who have an important message to send them." But you are dismissing a perfectly legitimate use. I had no idea there even existed an "Ot

USPTO can't do much about it. Correct me if I am wrong but if the USPTO is the one granting the patents, then they can do something. Almost immediately they could instruct people reviewing tech patents to err on the side of not granti

The real Silicon Valley will never be televised. I feel this way as well but I am curious as to why. My reasoning is that the incentives for entrepreneurs to swap dirty laundry for publicity isn't a worthwhile exchange for most entreprene

This is a shitty pattern that news sites(huffpo, espn etc.), especially, have bought into. You open a series of news stories across a half dozen tabs expecting text stories. You get auto-playing videos across tabs accompanying each text new

Sure, the way I see that in order for the 5 whys to work, you still need to know that Joe made the immediate mistake. Now, as part of the process, you create ways to prevent that mistake. When doing that preventative analysis, the other w

Why does it matter who is responsible for a mistake? Because the person who makes the mistake is often in one of the finest positions to suggest ways to prevent the same and similar mistakes not just by him, but by others in the future. I

Making a clear statement such as "I don't understand" also is a great signal to your coworkers. It kills confusion and builds trust: I know that if you don't understand, you will let me know. That is much better than having someone who I ha

Why not just use themeforest if your business' core competence isn't design? Buy a theme from a designer who spent hours taking care of nitty gritty details that would take you days and weeks. Your blah niche customers would most likely n
