   Yes, I know it's a nitpick but if there is only 1 exception, it is not mostly. If he says mostly, there is a suggestion that there may be other even primes.

   On the last slide he writes that "We believe that the primes do not observe any significant pattern beyond the obvious ones (e.g. mostly being odd)..." But is there an even prime other than 2? I guess not, otherwise it will be divisible by

   This is interesting but it is not ranking or mapping scientific knowledge. What is mapped is academic fields. The scientific content is not mapped or ranked.

   "it's not dependent on experimentation..." therefore it should not be called science? Software development involves experimentation, testing, trial and error, measurement, standards, and it's much more rigorous than any science.

   I agree. The version here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Pi-unrolled.gif appears to move slower. I think it's better.

   In this related page http://www.triz-journal.com/archives/what_is_triz/ they write that "Somebody someplace has already solved this problem (or one very similar to it.); Creativity is now finding that solution and adapting it to this par

    I see that they let you choose the custom url after you create the blog.

    Thanks. I wanted to create a blog with name "1-world" but I got an email saying that "We were unable to post your email: create a blog to site: 1-world.posterous.com because this site does not exist."

    I think they should give the chance to choose a name for the url instead of just using the email.

    "The general notion is that you start with customer discovery, then move to customer validation, then customer building and then company building." They also say that you have to know your ideal customer: http://biznik.com/articles/your-id

    I never used kindle but if it had a tagging or commenting feature this would solve his problem. The paper version of books, I agree, is sometimes better than reading the same content online, but for newspapers I don't agree. I was looking a

    I liked that he put excerpts from the interview. Does he talk about financials in the video? Fit Fuel now redirects to http://www.allstarhealth.com/fitfuel.aspx So there must still be market for this.

    yes, and I have a design background I should know. I just saw MG Siegler too writes "the smiley face is built into the logo." http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/14/a-new-way-to-visually-s...

    I think the logo doesn't go well with the concept. Their other logos are pretty good in my opinion http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/

    This "never eat alone" or http://tablesurfing.com/ may work better in big cities to match people who want to go eat on a specific restaurant.

    The first issue is not related to dumbness. It is handled usually with a pop up window that shows you the entire text when hovered. Second issue can be handled as an option: "all my appointments are in business hours." Maybe Seth Godin want

    Yes, you are right. I wish there was a chart showing how this effect works. Also the eye may get used to a design. I used to think that HN font was too small and line spacing too thight but now it looks normal to me.

    "Avoid welcoming visitors to your site?" This sounded counter-intuitive at first but it makes sense.

    There is also the asymmetry. You can gain in one day what you lost in a weak.

    For elderly users increasing the font size is not much help. The problem is with focus. The lens hardens with age and nearby objects appear out of focus. So 12pt and 24pt type will both be out focus: http://www.scientificamerican.com/artic

    Yes, this page makes more sense. Now I understand better. But I am not sure users will like anonymity. The whole idea of microblogging appears to be that it is ephemeral. Who would bother to delete a post. And paying for this type of servic
