Merry Christmas! My holiday message of hope (repost from http://www.generalstore.co/hope.html ). As I look around my little Bay Area town, and especially my Facebook and Instashram…

Underlying driver here is that users are migrating en masse to Facebook now for their professional updates and post streams. Twitter is most impacted, but LinkedIn too. That's why …

Shame is really hard to assign and even more difficult to self apply. So while society (let alone our small, sometimes dark programming/tech back lot) is a long way from where we s…

At a very early stage but well-funded startup, where everyone is relatively equal in age, capability or experience, I think the idea of everyone making the same 'monthly nut' money…

Hello, Mr. Cook, yes, yes, your EA here. No, no, you heard me right, God, Sir Isaac Newton and John Lennon are on the line. No, no. I don't know who reports to who. Do you want me …

In 30 years, my children will be starting to have children of their own. Apple is only 36 years old. Google just turned 15. You're right, this is not a problem for VC's investment …

As an early beta tester, I wanted to share my thoughts - not a feature by feature analysis or comparison to anything else out there associated with photos. I use all sorts of apps …

A better abstraction will happen. It is inevitable. And my impression of Jan is that he is neither myopic nor naive. Files are an old, ugly metaphor born of the file cabinet. Remem…

pg is right- fundamental. angersock also touches on a higher level, fundamental need here: the ephemerality of human memories. Technology should be able to help and this is exactly…

Each side has its perspective and points. Each side points fingers: "Scum", "incremental", "non-compete", "stole our idea", "couldn't breathe". I'm not sure which side Amy Wallace …
