I don’t know about Gawker’s headline, but this article goes through some old chat logs to show that Zuck might be a sleaze ball.
On developing ConnectU, a similar project, alongside Facebook:
Mark and this friend also had the following IM exchange about how Mark planned to resolve the competing projects: [...]
I think it’s not as important as it’s made out to be.
Windows Email Software
You might think Outlook, or maybe Thunderbird, but instead you get:
Operating System Company
Surely Microsoft would be at the top of the list, right?
Really Awesome Music To Dance To
!!! doesn’t come up, neither does Crazy P (the UK’s best kept secret, btw)
Incredibly cheap [...]
Yeah! Totally spot on!
Even with music. Remember the inconvenience when you’d put a CD in and it would just start playing music? No wonder people pirate music now. Why should you go through the hassle of buying a download and having it automatically import itself into iTunes when you could just look through a bunch [...]
My local newspaper ran an article about the disappearance of Home Economics classes from high school curriculums.
10 years ago it wasn’t cool to take a Home Economics class. I opted for that course instead of Calculus. Most students took Calculus, but surely after high school and going out on their own there must have been [...]
When people talk about progress they usually refer to how much better their iPhone is than their old cell phone or how much more mileage their hybrid car gets than their old car.
But there are some things that nobody seems to notice need improvement. Or they do, but don’t say anything. Usually it has to [...]
Talking about how people can self-publish their books through Amazon for the Kindle:
NYT: How does that work? Bezos: Basically you submit the book, you set the price for it, we charge the customer and then we give you 35 percent of the revenue. NYT: And Amazon keeps 65 percent? That sounds like a lot. Bezos: Does it? [...]
Saw this in NetNewsWire earlier this week.
Seems obvious in retrospect, considering the kinds of people The Deck targets.
By the way, good album.
With both eMusic and Netflix you can choose to cancel an account or simply put it on hold until you decide to come back. What’s interesting is how they both approach the same thing.
If you cancel eMusic you get this message:
Which is wrong anyway. The whole reason I decided to cancel my account is because [...]
Going to PetSmart on Saturdays is always a treat, not just because the ASPCA brings the dogs over, but because it’s a case study in retail management and product marketing.
For instance, if you thought Snuggie was enough by itself you haven’t seen Snuggie For Dogs.
Since pets are a member of the family some owners are [...]
Here’s another annoyance with eMusic.
You can click-through to the Flickr page if you need to see it bigger, but basically this is a screenshot of the new Vitalic album on eMusic. It’s also a good demonstration of how eMusic’s credit economy is broken.
For starters, most albums now cost 12 credits – which is alright because [...]
