Heads up that http://aesopstories.com is a bit mangled on the latest version of desktop Safari. I do like the concept, but I was trying to figure out if there's a way to host all of …

Got you. That does help a bit. I do think there is something interesting here. Today I spent time reviewing and commenting on the interface screens of an OpenID implementation currently in development…

I don't think I quite understand what Awesomebox is. Is it packaged staging server with built in commenting functionality? What type of code can be pushed to it? Why is it that you push code your…

Oh and on the Nest acquisition itself: I think the author is right. As the number of people joining the internet reaches saturation, it's no longer a high-growth category. But the number of devic…

The paranoia fascinates me as well--I feel it, too. I was surprised by my own disappointment in the Nest acquisition. I think there was a time earlier when I would have been tremendously excited. Ther…

Please, please Google... don't spam me about starting a Google+ account when I'm just trying to turn the temp down a few degrees. I beg you.

I had to do a double-take on Wix. (Even went to look at the numbers myself.) I had no idea that it had 1 Billion + in market cap. That's crazy impressive for a company in the crowded website buil…

I love getting another perspective from European publications. However, I've come to discover that the comments section of ANY worldwide newspaper makes you lose faith in the local population.

That's a great question! I think the person who can articulate that intuitively should win the car! My stab at it: If he doesn't know, then he's essentially another contestant, and his …

Here's how it helps me to look at it. As others have said, you can play with the numbers, but the mechanics are basically this: First step: you are choosing one option from all available choices.…

That is interesting, though I'd guess that most of the investor interest is in "Crowdtilt Extended", which are their branded campaign pages and API. That is, being a Twillio of the crow…

I feel it doesn't really hurt the candidate in my mind to use a service like this—provided I also get a very personalized email / cover letter. The execution here really looks pretty good. H…

There's a sad irony that your #1 complaint about Google's email product is its search functionality.

Fantastic idea and fantastic hack (OnDemand VPN) to enable the banner. Two questions: 1. Do you store the bank card, address, etc. locally or on your servers? 2. Do you worry about Apple / Google…

Yes, although owning, driving, and parking a car in Japan are not pleasant experiences, either. I remember one drive in particular when traffic was stalled so badly people were just leaving their cars…

Catchy headline, but I feel it's an inaccurate generalization. From my experience, there is a spectrum of people between two different viewpoints: creative people who are energized by new ideas a…

Why even have a limited scope on bounty programs? (This is not the only time I've seen that.) Is it only to limit payout? Are their legal reasons? For example, their client tablet applications ar…

My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice …

Except that Amazon will likely offer Drones As A Service, too. They have a pretty solid track record of offering their own technologies widely, even to competitors.

Exactly. Both exercise and sleep promote health. It's like he's arguing against exercise because gyms aren't conducive to sleeping. I think the biggest problem is that the typical offic…

SimpleLegal is a fantastic idea for a service. It's horribly sad that it's even needed, but I love the work you've done. If the 200+ legal bill is a like a log file, SimpleLegal is like…

Napoleon is a really neat marriage of software and hardware. It's one of those rare things that's both new and familiar. Mighty, meanwhile, he actually described as "cloud pen". Pl…

I don't think so. "Each Pencil has a unique character that will subtly change with years of use." That's likely too much for any demographic.

Does pencil provide any additional drawing resolution or pressure sensitivity? Genuinely curious. Didn't see any mention of those on the site, but I saw a battery required and wondered if that di…

This fascinates me. I find open-plan offices really hard to work in. Meanwhile—perhaps surprisingly—my favorite places to work are coffee houses or college libraries. I'm surrounded by strangers,…

I understand the desire to get a zinger in your headline, but this a pretty editorialized and needs to be changed to the actual headline of the article. It's not what the article says and I'…
