You got me wrong. I mean he has razor-sharp wit as a satirist. He's an intelligent comic whose mind works quickly. I don't think it puts him on a pedestal to say he deserves some credit for being extr…

Isn't that a problem with phone-based email and apps already? For example, how many people have their email set to ask for a password each and every time and who has the facebook app set to ask for a …

I'm one of those morons who enjoys The Daily Show's intelligent satire. Stewart is razor sharp and you do not want to get into a battle of words with him. [1] [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB…

I love that he's shaking things up. However, he needs to find a better partner to work with on the technology side of things. I tried to purchase tickets for one of the shows listed as available, and …

I think the implication in Kate Hough's article that incubators encourage you to lie on stage is more than ridiculous; it's irresponsible. I knew a guy who lied once in college. It had nothing to do w…

Rackspace grew up on the laminated MDF sheets. They are not easy to erase, either, especially if the marker has set in. The top coat and the markers used really matter.

Also, talk about the three Zeros instead in the three Zs. 'ZZZ' means asleep or bored.

I don't know, I just think you can take sparse so far it becomes soulless. Simple, clean design can still be emotive. This isn't. The stock art humans make this feel more like a Big Oil annual report.…

It doesn't matter if you sell diapers or dentures; if you've built a successful ecommerce business around a niche, I promise you'll become passionate about it. I totally disagree. Yes, you need to h…

I would still conjecture that Craigslist succeeded in spite of their design, not because of it. That's the problem with these things, it's really hard to reverse engineer a success like Craigslist and…

I like the idea of tiles but as they get more numerous and varied (with photos and custom apps) it starts to look like the classified ads. I don't know where to look and feel disoriented.

They are being hurt by their own branding. It shouldn't be positioned as a way to create web pages, just like Code Academy isn't positioned as a way to create javascript. They are both ways to learn w…

That's genius. It's such a better read when you add the tone and gusto of that narrator.

http://quora.com is down, too. Seems like an AWS outage.

My opinion: you've asked for feedback on this a bit too early. It's really hard to review your startup before the product, pricing, or even a demo is available. I do think CloudKick and more recently …

The video mentions that they use a technique to include comments that provides proper SEO (and feels natural to Google). Any information on what they've done? I remember previously, they had a WordPre…

No, it's not. "Publicly perform"?! Tell me in what reasonable backup scenario would google need the right to publicly perform your content? It's not reasonable at all; it's egregious and honestly insu…

The trademark will transfer to the foundation. It's just a way to ensure that anyone claiming to run an OpenStack compatible cloud is indeed doing just that. It's good for an OSS community to trademar…

I forward any email that needs me to do something to Asana. Asana automatically creates a todo for me with the email content as an attached note.

Entrepreneurism seems under-represented: most of the responses seem to be inheritance or stock investments. I'm wondering if that reflects on the reddit community makeup, the type of people who would …

Totally agree! I was hoping to have something to send to a few of the designers I work with, but the tone is totally insulting. (ie "Nice try!")

What bothers me here is that Google broke a contract. Since there is no way to determine between people who intentionally set that preference and those who are just using the default settings, I guess…

I agree. I experience this problem a lot in Chrome and I've lost form data a few times from it.

Wow, if you look at the blog, it's immediately obvious that Picnik was really loved by a devoted fan base. I'm not endorsing the Picnik shutdown decision (I think it sucks), but you have to ask yourse…

Related point: I think it's unfair to entirely separate manufacturing waste from household waste. I think it's more about the combined waste generated in the production and consumption of household go…

Open source really helps here. Amazon are innovative, but they are not the only place innovation is happening. In fact, here's a pretty good writeup (if a wee biased) on how the new offering compares …

The worst part of the article is actually a quote form a Wikipedia editor. It's dismissive and inaccurate, but you always know that when you see the phrase "before we know it..": "My main concern is t…

Yeah, it's important to realize he could be both really right on some things and really wrong on others. However, here I think he's right. They play in a space that is so important to the OS vendors' …
