Why are people so reluctant to change? Ubuntu, Apple and Microsoft are changing their UIs to add a new layer of usability, which can always be disabled. This is clearly a transitio…

Thanks! Just remember to keep us posted

Yes, I guess you're right. Motivation is very dependent on the teamwork variable, and my argument was following the "startup" point of view, which is common here. Wasn't expecting …

Hi Walter. As some are saying here, I don't think this is much news-worthy. However, I think it could be quite interesting and illustrative to write an article explaining the whole…

Well, I'm sorry to say that I believe exactly the opposite. Public committing means a high level of responsibility and scrutiny, and it is the best motivator for any task. In our w…

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's up with the letter Q?

Oh man, I'm like having a dejà vu. This realization occured to me about a year ago, and when it came to me, everything was so clear. I had been an asshole in too many meetings beca…

Yes, dying from success is never the desired outcome, but at least they managed to send a first batch, which will be reviewed, will increase the hype, and hopefully give them a sec…

Only that Amazon doesn't ship electronics to outside the US, and thus international customers wouldn't be able to get them. Since the Foundation is from the UK, they probably know …

Empty comments can be ok if they're positive. There's nothing wrong with submitting a comment saying just "Thanks." What we especially discourage are comments that are empty and ne…
