I agree. NZ isn't very well traveled compared to the U.S. or most of western Europe. And NZ's population is like 1/20th of Los Angeles County. It's not surprising that the little i…

I agree that they did a good job, but I get tired of seeing others comparing NZ to other countries who didn't do so well--countries whose populations are 500-1000x bigger than NZ.

And with that, I just ordered a paperback copy on Amazon. Looking forward to reading this.

There are too many people here saying that this is not realistic, and that major problems are condensed into one month. The point you may be missing is that there really are some m…

Would have been nice to link the original source instead of RWW http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/09/20/world/middleeast/...

Because that wasn't so obvious before...

Great advice, but when you're a world-class player, incremental improvements is really all you can make. If you've been playing professional tennis for several years, and have cons…

I'm surprised people keep bringing up the Freakonomics issue. First of all, it was poorly argued in the book. Secondly, Lehrer mentions in the VERY BEGINNING that "the causes are p…

Hey, you guys remember when the Danger server would suffer an outage like every week and how it would render the Sidekicks as bricks? No contacts, no text messages... nothing. The …

The point is, it sucks. Maybe you missed it. "Have the latest version, get better hardware, blah, blah, blah..." This is what everyone has been saying for ages. Your argument is no…

Good god, really? 1. Seek Novelty 2. Challenge Yourself 3. Think Creatively 4. Do Things The Hard Way 5. Network How on earth did Scientific American allow an article that resemble…

"The author is selling people on living his lifestyle, a lifestyle he gained by telling people how to live his lifestyle." Oh, like Tim Ferris.

David Foster Wallace predicted in Infinite Jest that people wouldn't want to do video calling and went into great, albeit ridiculous, detail as to why.

It's TechCrunch...

Wow you guys are all missing the point. It's not even just about the look of the apps, but it's also the animations, features, etc. The iPhone apps are much more fluid and often so…

And? That doesn't take anything away from the the point, which is Android apps are, on average, uglier than their iPhone counterparts.

My daughter between the ages of 2 and 8. My wife really wanted it, but I was skeptical. She seems to be doing pretty well and - it could be a personal bias - she also appears to be…

It's weird that TechCrunch picked up Alexia Tsosis. She's totally clueless about technology and all she ever writes about is Twitter hype and Angry Birds news.

These types of blogs - where there are a list of 5, 7, 10 or 11 ways to achieve anything in bold print - still exist and are trafficked?

Exactly

That's total BS and you're just paraphrasing Malcolm Gladwell, who's also full of BS. Are you suggesting that anyone without an innate musical gift can spend 10+ years practicing h…

Everyone is missing the point. The $10,000/day post might have been about not being desperate for money, but this new post misinterpreted the first one. I understand the importance…
