I agree. The art doesn't have to be good or hung in a gallery to be of value. The paintings represent an new, and perhaps candid insight into the thoughts and feelings of a former president. They might reveal something…
you can't change anything without critical mass. it usually takes a national disaster or profound fear of something to mobilize support for popular change. depending on your point of view, that's either a feature or…
Are these real CEOs or idealized CEOs? I've worked for CEOs who were horrible people and yet extremely successful (ie: running profitable businesses and having repeat success). Sadly, the nice CEOs I've had were…

In SFO, I haven't seen any of this and security seems pretty much unchanged, but recently going through San Diego was a completely different experience. There they were searching passengers and using full body scanners…
Maybe the employees of Zynga who weren't offered this deal should sue Zynga for too little compensation for the value they've created. The hammer should swing both ways.
In my experience, the difference between a GSD engineer and an average engineer is the understanding that it is up to you to be motivated, focused, and effective. And, I've worked with many GSD engineers, so they…
Groupon's model is only broken in the context of billions or trillions. At smaller scale, which sounds like what your friend is thinking, there is still lots of opportunity to innovate and profit.
hmm, should new painting viewers bother with rembrandt, michelangelo, caravaggio, da vinci, etc? um, yes! asimov, bradbury, clarke, huxley, etc are worth reading no matter what century you're in.
I can't stand technical jargon or people who use without regard for their audience. The only purpose of jargon is to make a conversation exclusive to only those who know the language. If your purpose is to educate or…
I'm starting to get really annoyed that the price of some ebooks is actually more than the price of the printed book. That is just ridiculous and publishers better check their greed quickly if they want people to keep…

my feedback ... first, the app is really cool. love the idea. personally, I'd lose the head shots and job titles from your about page. instead, tell us why you created this, how you got started, etc. what are you doing…
hopefully, this improves the deliverability of email that originates within amazon's environment. the service can be easy, but if the messages aren't getting through, then there is no point and sendgrid and others will…
