    Definitely a huge focus on mobile, but I feel like PayPal would have to become a universal standard (outside of online payment gateways) for this to really take off.

    The long-term vs short-term argument makes sense, I agree on that. If you have nothing to offer in the long-term, then it's probably not going to last. If you just want to ask the …

    The problem with this article that it's not consistent with the people it references. Can you imagine Warren Buffet buying a house in the Hamptons? Plus these aren't even all of th…

    1) Technology - Quality speakers, nice monitors, computers, etc 2) Good pair of running shoes and a tennis racket 3) Food - Not often, but nice restaurants when I can Other then th…

    The last line is what's most important. So many people keep buying Office because it's all they've ever known, and it works. And you see that much more on the older side of 40. But…

    Are the extroverts just not speaking up (ironic)? Otherwise it's really interesting how there's not a single extroverted type higher than the introverts? But it just goes to show b…

    Agreed, even some smooth movement would make a difference - the jump is very sudden

    This is what I actually want...think many people don't actually visit Google.com anymore. Unless there's a fun/creative doodle.

    Exactly what I thought. It's a great feature, but just going to google.com takes up time. Maybe future integration into Chrome?

    I'm guessing this is for an individual, and not a family (since family size isn't even defined) So with that, I think 75k is definitely enough to live a happy life - at least when …

    It does make sense for TVs to eventually shift to this, even if Apple isn't the one to do it (though there are few better innovating companies - if any). 9 months of the year I don…

    Doesn't this kill any hope for BlackBerry to have software revenue? Can't see that being a good thing given how fast the app market is growing. They should have bought Palm back th…

    What caught my eye was how high Landline phones are. Cellphones don't have perfect reception, but I barely use landlines anymore. It's also interesting how low cable and satellite …

    After reading this, I was a little creeped out: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jul/23/foursquare But my general policy with posting online content is if you put it onlin…

    That's a good point. But I also wouldn't call Facebook my all encompassing social identity. I don't update my status with everything I tweet; I don't even sync up Foursquare and Fa…

    Maybe, but I'm not sold yet. Yeah Facebook has 500 million plus users, so even if there's a 1% conversion rate they'll have the same or more users than Foursquare. That's huge, esp…
