Just as an aside: that's a misattributed quotation.

There's a lot of positing here. To assume the "average user" doesn't understand what browser tabs, PDFs, and FAQs are seems ... odd. Now these may or may not be fine tips, but they are not recommendations based on best practices or any research that I can tell. If they are, I'd be interested in seeing it.

This was my first reaction too. Very cool, but wouldn't pay monthly for it.
Re:Startup is not your job on Wednesday August 22, 2012 @09:58AM (#4417338)
You don’t need time off. If you think you do, you’re in a Job and should stop thinking it’s a startup, because it will fail.

Or you're a human being and you'll be just fine.

I'm running programs of similar functionality but coming in at 1.95GB.

Chrome (only 8 tabs right now), Rdio, Sparrow, Coda, Terminal, Notational Velocity.

It says "Modern experience for modern browsers and devices.". Is that just an empty sentence or are they using a better engine? The paragraph after just talks about pixels and white space.

This chart was created by somebody with a fundamental misunderstanding of what bankruptcy is.
Re:OS X Lion Recovery removes need for physical media on Wednesday July 20, 2011 @12:55PM (#2786439)
I doubt it, since Boot Camp is a native OS X feature.
What costs are you cutting? No, vacationing in 5-star hotels for 8 years would not be cheap but that's not a necessity for travelling. You probably don't rent a 5-star apartment at home.
You do realize you're the exception, right?

Re:SEO is no longer a viable marketing strategy for startups on Saturday March 05, 2011 @09:21PM (#2293250)
Why is the assumption that Oyster is more useful than TripAdvisor just because it has less ads and is "cleaner"?

> say "no you can't have my login?"

Of course I would. I don't think that takes big anything. That's an incredibly inappropriate request.

Re:A Week After Google Changes Algo, Mahalo Fires 10% of Staff on Wednesday March 02, 2011 @09:38AM (#2279663)
If we were to all support another search engine instead, then they'd have the same power. And I'd hope they would do the same thing Google is doing right now.
Re:How we made a $25,000 website for $3,000 on Friday February 04, 2011 @02:06PM (#2180682)
Inline styles, tables, 344 validation errors, no meta descriptions and 88 objects (coming in at 800kb/page) loading. 25,000?

Also why is the blog homepage a single post?
