If anything google made all types of bullshit more accessible. Just search for articles about: Non-stick pans, chem-trails, hollow-earth theory, etc. etc.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at hardware prices, might also support the case that "miners are hoarders". (Please excuse the sketchy math in the following post. these figures are just based on searches o

During early elementary school I learned more in camp than I did at school. I was also first exposed to C++ in a summer program around 1998. With the right vendors this is more than a marketplace for camps, it could radically change educati

Great post! I browsed your site some more, and found a video of a presentation you gave. Asking for the close is killer. In retrospect too many of my first couple of calls ended with... "So uh yeah, I'll email you I guess." M

I'm actually interested in using your site for a quick landing page (for an app I'm developing). I'm checking out the 'Pro' section, is there any coupon code available now?

Nice article, some ideas reminded me of a passage I read on Chris Dixon's blog a while ago. "The successful products took big meals and converted them to snacks. The Internet likes snacks – simple, focused products that capture an

I'm not sure that understanding this is that predicated on cultural familiarity. I'd argue the majority of its meaning comes from the fact that it "breaks the rules in order to be overly brief." The syntax being intentio

The added inference I get is "that's just the way it is." "Because politics" is like saying "because politics are just crazy like that." It's a flippant way of saying something is simply absurd. Or an

I guess it's a little semantic at this point. Though, there's services like pricegeek that crawl Ebay graphing the better deals. They piggyback of Ebay's existing affiliate model. They never solicit anything from the customer

Zenefits is a licensed insurance broker it's free for users, they collect a referral fee from insurance companies. Since it's online they're sustainable from broker fees alone and don't charge users. I think some travel

My dad is a chemist who does a lot of lab work. Currently he uses an iPhone's basic features a lot: notes, timer, etc. Before the iPhone he used a chronograph. Glass would actually be a much better form-factor for him, for simple thing

I think where this might fork a little is consumer vs enterprise. Dropbox is meant to be understood by a much wider audience than Heroku. For a consumer facing company being easily understood makes you much more accessible to many more cons

I like the sizing and composition of 2. But one strength in 3-4 is contrast. The eye tends to gravitate to contrast, and I feel like the black in 3-4 gives the icon more punch.
