    Seems believable. I just caught an interview on television earlier today with the CEO of a luxury worldwide hotel, and he said leisure clients went up from about 35% to 45% in the …

    That seems like a good idea, and I could see hotel visitors wanting to select a room overlooking the parking lot (to watch a vehicle), or wanting to be on a particular side of the …

    Agreed, people are unreliable sources of information. It's not because we're trying to fabricate a story or lie, it's because our memory is anything but perfect. I remember seeing …

    I simply can't believe that's the reason. It's an error message, not a warning. It doesn't check if new comments have been posted to that thread, it doesn't prompt you with the new…

    Not sure why you were downvoted, but I completely agree. I get the 'Unknown or expired link' message all the time because I'll write long comments, or write part of a comment, get …

    Agree on this one. I imagine they factored the prices of business class flights into their bid on the project. People that are higher up in any industry want a few perks. I can't i…

    Do you know what companies never do? They never ask. I see dating ads, cars advertisements, feminine healthcare products, insurance ads, etc. What do I want to see? Travel accessor…

    Yep, it's definitely a phone sized device, and you can see her scrolling with her finger in the reflection, so it's a touch screen. Now, what's actually unique about it that separa…

    Same thing here, I had no idea about this site, so I click their mission from the article. http://building.gittip.com/big-picture/mission Well, that made it more confusing, so I cl…

    Ok, so you've been dreaming of a world changing startup at age 17, and you're 24 now. What have you started? It's been seven years, it sounds like you spend a lot of time learning,…

    Note: Numbers below would be money in the bank, after taxes. 1 million: Takes the edge off, I could support a family, and live a reasonable lifestyle. I'd take up a hobby with the …

    Hmm, the first 10 minutes had my attention, and I was agreeing on his points that design is obviously subjective, and difficult to measure. With code, you can spend a week refactor…

    Say you're strategic partners, and you specialize in RoR development, and have a business relationship.

    Agree to some extent. This applies to those ideas where execution is the most important part. That's the vast majority of ideas. However, occasionally you get an idea where the con…

    I'm surprised taxi services are so far behind here. Why can't I request a taxi in a single click, select the vehicle, charge it to my account, see the location of the taxi on a map…

    A bus is possible, but if this was a viable business, it should exist already. The only difference is the cost of the driver, so the automated bus might save passengers $5/day. Is …

    1. Not sure I agree with the first point. People hunting for a parking space once a day likely causes less pollution then a car driving itself to a charging station or depot twice …

    Well, if I lived in an apartment building, I'd like to have real neighbors, people that speak my language, enjoy a sense of community, and friends in the building. It would get qui…

    They should add a table, or two sets of seats facing each other, and an optional table that pulls out between them. Then show 4 people in the car, having a little business meeting …

    I can't see that working. You'll require a ton of cars taking individuals or small groups to and from work in a big city. That's not very efficient, and the reason we have a metro …

    Sure, we can make something better, but who is going to fund such a site, because you're going to be losing millions in bandwidth for a long time. There's a reason image hosting si…

    Agreed. I could register accounts for 1,000 five year old children and let them pick stocks, and one of them would have what appears to be great insight and recommendations. Does t…

    Well, I give them respect for trying something new. It has some improvements, but the UX falls short in others. 1. Boarding pass is great. 2. Being able to scroll back up to make c…
