I wish he would have gone after the real culprit: hand wavy advice. Telling someone to be passionate about one's work is about as helpful as telling someone not to set himself on fire. He should have singled out Gary V to make his point. Th

Good question, I'll address it in the article. No institution will let you get away with that, but if the seller is financing it then maybe. You can, though, put down as little as 3.5% today.

The more you play with a component's mechanical housing the more likely it is to break. There's also just human error in replacing hardware that leads to housing fractures. Creepage among memory chips is also possible. RAM doesn't sit as sn

The lack of hardware upgradeability on Apple products in general kept me from switching for many years. Then I realized by the time I was ready to upgrade my system the CPU sockets changed, the memory changed, etc. So I'm not concerned if I

10% is a considerable chunk. This is especially true for someone straight out of college who doesn't have a high income to begin with. You could argue that his/her expenses are lower than someone with a family, but the counter to that again

This article talks about two different things. First, it talks about how much money one would need to live comfortably in different parts of the country. Second, it talks about retirement. I have a question about the latter. Does anyone els

Really awesome app idea, here are my suggestions: 1) The green color scheme clashes with the red and orange banner. 2)The duck doesn't stand out because there's little contrast between it and the banner. I suggest changing the banner colors

What's the lack of motivation due to? If you're not motivated by the product anymore then get out now, but if you're just feeling beaten down then absolutely keep at it. When you say you outsourced all the development it sounds like you exp

1) Taking legal action costs money. Your product hasn't launched yet so it hasn't made any money yet either. He is either going to have to sue you with his own money or find a lawyer that is willing to work on commission for a product that

Pretty awesome tips. I don't necessarily agree with the uppercase suggestion, though. If you strip the color from Google's logo the font isn't as identifiable as Twitter or Facebook (both of which are lowercase) so the combination of colors

Thanks for this post. I just bought my ticket. I've seen other classes go for a lot more that offered a lot less.

@vaksel, nope. I still watch and listen. Often, the best interviews are the ones you initially dismiss because the guests aren't known for crushing it under 4 hours every week. :)

I apologize if I offended you. First thing I would do if I were you would be to check out resources like Mixergy, This Week in Startups, and read Rework by 37Signals. I know that isn't a direct answer to your question, but that's because I

As a technical guy who is taking care of the biz side of things in my startup, I must disagree with you lachy. I know how aggravating it is when someone shows complete disinterest in the technicalities. They lack an awareness of the challen
