Man that's jaded and cynical. There's a world of difference between assuming total control and tweaking your routine in hopes of living better.

This is all I got. 1) Write often. 2) If something sucks, make it shorter. 3) If it still sucks, make it more specific.

It is not an entirely foregone conclusion that the losses Microsoft incurred to break into an infamously cutthroat industry were a good idea from a business standpoint. To say noth…

It's a get rich quick hustle by another name. Don't be fooled. Making money is work, it's always been work, it will always be work. Anybody who tells you different is a con man. I …

There wasn't as much "lean startup" in this article as I would have assumed via the title. I don't know that I necessarily agree with the final assertion that the "lean startup" is…

Their platform is ok. It jittered a lot, and I'm really not a big fan of the social graph, but some stuff is good, some stuff is bad, it's on the balance ok. The problem is that th…

I don't have much good to say about that particular article, so I will say nothing. The rest of his blog I found fascinating, however, and I'll be reading through it with great ple…

I... don't know if that blog response is going to achieve the goal it was intended to. At the very least, the CEO might spend some more time considering how being the boss affects …

A former acquaintance of mine (and noted scumbag) recently pulled this scam for a movie he made about (and with the backing of) a bunch of chiropractors. Raised over a quarter of a…

I'm not old, per se, I'm probably at my peak marketability-- old enough that, if I were stupid, I would have washed out by now, young enough to be stereotypically perceived as vigo…

I'm not gonna lie, I like using facebook, but I unplugged it from my phone a while ago and haven't regretted it. Social networking is a fun diversion but a terrible lifestyle.

Like I said, a small mechanical royalty for obscure songs where you don't know who owns what, or how to pay them. No copyright trolling. And for big songs, call it gold-record hits…

> That's not going to happen either, under the current system. Well, the dynamics of who will get paid as a result of the legal recording arrangements are well beyond the scope of …

I think you gotta pay the original artist. As an old-school analog musician, I had to sweat for literally decades to be able to drop that perfect ten second fill effortlessly. The …

I don't really see the benefit of jumping from Google just to submit your privacy to the tender mercies of Facebook, Amazon, et. al, other than to say you did it. And punting on GP…

"Follow your nose!"

Hey buddy, the active.com guys have been suing anybody using couch to 5k into the ground for a minute now. You should change your name or expect a not so nice letter.

I understand the frustration, and there are a lot more unfair things waiting for you out in the business world. So opt out. Invent your own job and take no shit from anybody. Get a…

The pace of innovation in software is both staggering and obvious to anyone who takes a serious look at what you can do with a computer 10, 20, or 30 years in the past. We've done …

It's always a treat to hear Alan Kay go on about how smart Alan Kay is. Those were the days, I guess? Sorry about this whole PC-internet revolution thing.

You guys are missing the point. The problem with mobile is not the ads, it's return on investment. I make mobile apps, and if my profit on a one dollar app is 70 cents, that's a ha…

I think this is actually a pretty strong endorsement of TOR, just based on what I briefly read here. They had a wiretap running, and all they got out of it was "he's definitely usi…

I'm deeply skeptical of business types lately, which is why my buddies and I started our own company, sans suits. Maybe finding another group of misfit technicians would be more yo…

I dunno, I guess I'm of the mindset that the waves are coming, and you're either on them or under them. These days, I get antsy if I get enough time in one stack that I really feel…

Ok, I'm calling it-- when I find myself getting a bunch of hot air blown up my skirt by Forbes, we're officially in a tech bubble. That said, I found the point about being a capita…
