>There would be an aesthetic difference. This is my point. People have value systems and brands and styles can be a part of that. An inability to identify with someone buying overp…

Wouldn't the opposite be just as bewildering then? There really is no difference between buying a Hermes dress and buying Dickies overalls, right? Each item makes a statement and e…

I think under the circumstances it may actually put a smile on peoples faces. They are probably already in a good mood and the right mindset for something like this. This was a rel…

I have been wanting an app that does this for a VERY long time. Ever since reading Letters From a Stoic and The Happiness Hypothesis, my life's resolution has been to be happier th…

I remember in 2000 or 2001 a company in Chicago negotiated with Ameritech to put hotspots on the top of telephone poles around the city for something like $3/mo. The deal ended up …

Decide seems fine for new items, specifically electronics and appliances which is probably why the service highlights their price drop alerts. Priceonomics really impressed me when…

The problem is that the focus is on the Download and social sharing buttons. I would just remove all that completely.

They are just "captcha like". I believe the idea is to to make ads bidirectional. Instead of just clicking a banner ad, a user would enter, say, a coupon code for example.

Great design and the app looks dead simple, i.e. it is not scary looking, but I need a bit more information. "Radio Silence lets you block internet access from any applications you…

I think both bookstores and record stores have a chance to go back to what they once were. Small and independently run, selling things their customers actually want, not everything…

I too like the feature, but the language, "How much time do you have?", confused me until I actually had saved a few videos. Something along the lines of "Show me videos longer tha…
