About MrSartorial

I've worked in luxury clothing retail for about seven years including two years as a supervisor, and I constantly think of new ways to make clothing shopping exciting and easy for anyone, on-line or otherwise. I want to make a major contribution to the fashion industry because I think that it is important how what we wear conveys our self concepts in social settings.

    I think the author makes a great point. I pursue this concept in what I call "elegant design". What this means to me is taking as much functionality as possible and putting it into…

    I really think that Spotify is going to put Apple into a tough spot. iTunes is fairly useful, but there are a lot of difficulties I have with it. A trend is emerging where Apple is…

    I think that the hypothesis proposed in this article sounds like it's certainly a part of the effect we feel, but there is likely some support that the percentage of our live thus …

    I think co-founders are most useful when you have a similar vision but bring different expertise to the issue. I agree with what you are saying though, that you should have similar…

    I agree 100%, but there is precedent for lawyers to follow, so that is considered when pursuing each new case. Much like "I didn't mean to" is not an excuse, it is stated in law th…

    I think this is a challenge that a lot of startups encounter. I've certainly encountered it so far. I think the breakthrough for me was when my dad (good 'ol parents) asked me to d…

    This is just bad jurisprudence. It's the reason why legal language is supposed to be intentionally vague; so that there aren't potential legal issues with doing something that a co…

    I don't disagree. As we've discussed in previous threads on the iPad, many are opposed to it's closed-system. Everyone is touting open-system as the better approach, and I definite…

    Some excellent points. I must admit I hadn't thought of abandoned cart reporting; that's an excellent suggestion. I think that so many sites are lagging in their ability to categor…

    I think that the author is completely right about the iPad (the names still makes me grimace) being an appliance. As are all of Apple's products, more or less. Microsoft is a littl…

    That Apple is creating a closed system is of little surprise. Steve Jobs is all about control. It works in the short term, but I believe it will bite them in the ass over the long-…

    Interesting points. I suspect that Facebook doesn't allow you to change the name of your business page because of the way they anchor them in their database... but at the same time…

    Presentation just finished. I have to say I'm disappointed. First point is trivial; they should have gone with a new name like iSlate. Playing off of your own products name (IPod) …
