About yamada

Back in the good old days I had almost 40 karma points. Then paul and his secret admirers got mad, dragged my karma to 15 and auto-censored all my future posts. Because their mature professionals like that. No wait. Now every time I post a reply my own karma goes down 3 points so I'm down to "9" ... perhaps I can go so far down in the negative that I'll get more attention by "-11,345" karma than I can ever hope by keeping up with leaders?

    Please. If they knew "how to get it done" they wouldn't be here - they'd be out doing it. The reality is it's hard to figure things out like that ... a while back a VC firm called …

    Whaaaaaa. I bet he'd like some cheese with his whine. I don't get it. He turned it down and then proclaims that the people who said yes to it despite it's then-lack of stellar cred…

    You'll pay me to sample your krypto-krato and write a culinary review to all my hippie friends? Hmmmm ... sounds tempting .... How much do you offer?

    Good point. Parents often get confused as to how many kids they have. Why just the other day Homer forgot to count Maggie ... and if it happens on t.v., well then we know it happen…

    So then someone who pursues power sans permission is, according to you, not compromised? Well, Bush seems to be good at that ... let's see ... how's his "uncompromisability" workin…

    No, it's the best idea - that would be the last thing they expect ...

    And does paul's auto-censoring all my posts in advance indicate a lack of maturity, deep need to be approved of at all times, and spiteful nature?

    Apple is arguably a very well-designed platform and gets better by specifically limiting apps by offering better quality to counter quantity. And making the pie bigger for all invo…

    You're both right and wrong; on the one hand it is often hard to figure out what people want based on what they say and trial and error works (lookup "skunkworks") well in many ind…
