People tend to significantly underestimate how beneficial it is to have your mind cleared of all of the little, nagging things on your to-do list. I started using the GTD [1] methodology to help with that, and it has improved my ability to focus significantly.
I can see how the Dash Button would be similarly useful.

Warren Buffett: “If a capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk back in the early 1900s, he should have shot Orville Wright. He would have saved his progeny money. But seriously, the airline business has been extraordinary. It has eaten up capital over the past century like almost no other business because people seem to keep coming back to it and putting fresh money in. You’ve got huge fixed costs, you’ve got strong labor unions and you’ve got commodity pricing. That is not a great recipe for success.”

One of the most interesting things about the site to me was the navigation system. There is an "up" button and a "next" button in the navigation panel on the pages. It is conceptually set up as a file directory--which has been replaced in navigation with the modern convention of "forward" and "back" buttons.
