That's a good idea. Having that, plus an 'expected wait time' would be really useful. When I push the button, if it tells me I'll need to wait for 4 minutes and 23 seconds for the next elevator, I can use that time more effectively ... ma

I just finished reading his biography, so it's interesting to see the young Steve. For historical context, their main products at the time were the Apple II and Apple III, so this was before the GUI / Lisa / Mac.

Right. If someone builds something interesting enough to get on Oracle's radar, then they become an obvious target for litigation. Doesn't make sense to build anything with Java, when there are so many other free alternatives available.

Definitely a cool idea. The best way to fly from Manila to China is on Cebu Pacific. No flight search in the world will tell you that, because Cebu Pacific is a local budget carrier and just advertises locally.

That's true - there definitely would be some room for disruption in the domain registration market. The thing with GoDaddy, which is bigger than it's 8 nearest competitors combined, is that they've been successful on the back of mass market

Just one more option - Twilio has a voicemail transcription feature as part of it's API, with automatic call back. So anything recorded could be available as text that way.

Sure - no problem - the application is Generic Domain Finder - just search it on Google. The current app in the search results is still running GAE. The things I loved: - tight integration with Google accounts - easy integration with other

I was using this on a project for a while. But compared to running the application with PHP, it was always slower. Sure, I've developed applications with PHP since 2001, so I really know how to tweak it and optimize it. But, with App Eng

Yup - honestly, it's the truth. Most freelancers DON'T pay for Photoshop. They don't have to - because they don't work in a corporate office, where software piracy can easily be enforced by BSA. I know a lot of people 'want' to pay for th

Hammers don't cost $2500. Sometimes heavy equipment is added on by contractors. For instance, I can dig this ditch with a shovel, or we can rent a backhoe, and have it done in a few hours.

The big problem with Facebook is that their business isn't defensible in the long term. There have been lots of other social networks come along in the past (AOL, classmates, Friendster, Myspace). The prior ones are all in shambles now, t

When I first heard the Airbnb idea - I was really skeptical. This is one of the cases where the actual implementation of the idea turned out better than the pure idea itself. I've booked a couple of places through the site when I was trave

I definitely have no problem paying for a good browser app, if it helps me: 1. do my work faster 2. give me a competitive advantage in my business 3. provide a higher level of service to my few clients I'm not sure I would specifically pay

I'm pretty content with hostway. They have one of the lowest prices for domain names, and have a decent interface. They also don't try to upsell any of their other services when you are going through checkout. I would stay away from 1and1

Hah - I doubt it. With titles like this, I think they rather read the print version of Fortune magazine monthly.

I think culture plays a big role. When I was in China for a while, it seemed like the government wants to build a Chinese copy of other things. Whatever technology exists elsewhere, they seem to want to have their own version of it that's

This is a CEO of a company that wants to get a product out the door. Sometimes that's not easy. He's basically using the tools at his disposal. It sounds like he's given his team a year, and they still haven't delivered. An email like t
