    If you buy just about anything on the list, it immediately makes many of the rest of the things on the list "Nice to have". For example, if I buy an iPad 2, the Nook and the Macboo…

    Why can't you do both? The people who are finding your sell pressed CDs would probably buy it whether it was on Spotify or not. If those initial buyers then wanted to share the mus…

    Ridiculously short sighted analysis. So you sell 143 CDs and make your thousand bucks. Good for you. End of the road. Then you sell another 155 CDs on CD Baby. Make another thousan…

    I'd be more surprised if she was using MySpace or Friendster.

    This is getting ridiculous. The idea of bonuses, rewards for completing tasks, the earning of newer impressive titles, gifts for accomplishing things coworkers couldn't. It's not t…

    The Omniture pricing is where you start. Then they charge additional to raise your server call limit, additional for data correlation, additional for data warehousing. Omniture has…

    Oh I'm sure I could rattle off at least a hundred or so names of products and services that have no relationship to their relative products, are challenging to spell (assuming you …

    The whole point of the original email was to recognize that their pricing changes made them seem out of touch. What's so bad about a CEO apologizing to his customer base? Also, I'l…

    It's not "giving tools that people are willing to buy", it's "selling tools that are profitable". iPhone or not, if there wasn't a business reason to support HTML5, I'm positive Ad…

    The truth is that people who use Groupon-type deals are the last kind of customer your business wants. I'd really like to see a study that proves this, because unless this is true …

    Then I'm not understanding the definition of "polarizing". By my thinking, a polarizing movie would have distinctly good ratings to go alongside distinctly bad ratings, i.e. Twilig…

    Why would extremely polarizing movies be an indicator that movies are getting worse? If anything, more polarization would seem to mean that critics are finding movies more difficul…

    Well, back to the drawing board, cause the scenario I was hoping they'd fix is highway robbery.

    Just reading what's been quoted in the blog post, this makes it so that an upsell purchase is a distinctly different transaction from a previously completed purchase. What was poss…

    Sponsorship. Localized. You know the person's area code. Make the assumption that they live somewhere near there and sell local ads. I wouldn't put the advertising in the voice mes…

    Video game systems have obviously worked within models like this (software specific to system) for decades to varying levels of success. Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo have also obviously…

    Are people downvoting this because of the last sentence? I think it's a perfectly reasonable point. When your OS is only available on one product and one carrier, it's not an apple…

    This is funny and all, but any HR department worth its salt would know what it takes to get a job at its respective company. At the very very least, most HR departments these days …

    If your site is being properly found by real people with Google, then does it matter if the search results page doesn't show the .com yet? My assumption is that anybody who wants t…

    I am very discouraged by how dismissive most of the comments are in regards to learning another language regardless of what it is. I thought this was a group of HACKERS. Understand…

    This is great and all, but I'm not sure how they managed to get a cell phone with GPS, a digital camera and an iPad all for under $200.
