Whose fault? Chrome? I'm also facing the same problem. Same version of Chrome, but on Windows, it loads properly, but not on Mac.

It is possible. You just have to post consistently and use the right tags. I'm not famous and I can get 10K followers just by posting one every few weeks, sometimes I post more reg…

That's the number I came up with after doing some calculations too. 1% VISA 2% Bank charges Whenever possible, I try to avoid using the cards. All those promotion gimmicks they giv…

I live in Singapore and the free shipping to my country is USD $125. Sometimes I really wonder how they make money when the items they ship are so heavy. In my country, the shippin…

If you limit reviews to only Amazon customers, you limited the number of people who can write reviews. I buy a lot of things from other places as well, not just Amazon.

Here's another way to look at this. When I subscribe to a page, I expect to get updates on new postings. Because Facebook is using their EdgeRank to filter out those postings, I'm …

The latest offering of Kindle Fire might actually give the iPad a serious competition. I'm currently an iPad user. If I don't have the iPad now, I would be torn between buying the …

The article reminds me of what I learned in a marketing: Value = Benefits / Cost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_%28marketing%29 Marketing comes into play. If not, items for sal…

I hope this applies to international shipping as well. I buy stuff regularly from Amazon and their prices are even cheaper than what my country's local stores are offering after sh…

I'm a journalist, not a tech journalist though. We write for the readers. Some pointers. 1. Use the Who, What, When, Where and How. Who are you. What do you want. When is it happen…

What you're saying is common knowledge. What I'm trying to say is: Don't compete directly. Apple didn't compete directly with the music/tv/movie industries but yet they too manage …

It may not be necessary to compete as directly as that. Filesharing sites compete against Hollywood in a different way (even though it's illegal) and they manage to grab their atte…

The main point is not to kill Hollywood but to force them to compete and evolve. Hollywood sell entertainment services that demand the time of people. The ultimate goal of winning …

I struggle to find what the post was trying to say. I've 10 million pageviews for my photos, averaging 430 pageviews per photo. I derived a lot of revenue from the photos. Not from…

Dictatorship is not accurate. I'm from Singapore and seriously, you can do whatever you want, just don't break the law (as with any other countries). Singapore is very pro-business…

It's not weird if you understand what's really happening when people are buying stuff. Value comes from the amount paid vs the perceived value gained from getting the object. Somet…

At the other end of the spectrum, CEO's salary aren't that much a secret, which I read somewhere that is precisely the reason why their salaries are inflated. If CEOs know that oth…

That would be extremely valuable. The newspaper industry will need this.

And here's how that world without advertising would look http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonydemarco/sets/72157600075508... Just came about it on Flickr a few days ago, coincidentally…

I follow Smashing Magazine. They are successful because their content is helpful. Helpful to the point where people will link them on other sites to help other people. That's where…

Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Tools-Essential-Strategies-Wri... I highly recommend this book. Expect improvement immediately…

If I remember correctly, they did try to take on eBay, but that project was eventually turned into Amazon Marketplace.

The Mac App Store - I guess Dashboard apps will be going away? Launchpad - I firmly believe technology is to help save time. Launchpad doesn't do that. There's already an app calle…

I wish they would include voice recognition for keyboard shortcuts or commands. There are so many occasions I wish it's there.
