I think the truth of this article depends on the size of your team. If you're hiring only one to a few developers, it's likely that you need your employees to self manage. They need to strategize, have realistic expectations, and fulfill th

It's always disappointing when people think that a fashion company is mutually exclusive with a company that makes well-designed products.

Things that make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills: how surprised people are that there's a future beyond screen interfaces. Aren't things posted to Hacker News supposed to be by people who understand the utility of disruption? And the va

Oh, but I should add that it is cool to see something headlining as "user testing" making its way up the HN ranks.

I agree with what I think Boriss' point is – that our interfaces are not natural. They require us to build a new system of patterns to match with encountered interfaces of a similar kind, in order to know what we're doing. Same is easily sa

Regardless of the Thiel Fellowship, this is the guy that I would want on the inside taking academic ideas from research to revolution. Ito represents a kind of energy and enthusiasm that higher education direly needs. More creative, free-th

You don't need to own an Apple product to use MobileMe, it is device agnostic. But you do need to give Apple money for the service itself.

The Michael Jordan approach, however, is one that is as aptly applied to entrepreneurship as it is to optimizing your abilities and success in any realm. He's created a product called Michael Jordan, and that product has proved unarguably t

Interesting that this is out of the MIT Media Lab, since the Minority Report interfaces were based on earlier work there by another guy, who has since spun it into the spatial operating environment g-speak (oblong.com). That said, I'm super

So...we agree. My point is that where some of the other people mentioned had their masters degrees in CS, Jobs seems to have been more of a business-inclined hobbyist who really liked and could competently work with computers. I concur that

Well, Apple could be a counterpoint if we're just talking about current CEOs. Steve Jobs has never been revered for his electronics skills, and it seems he kind of snuck in the back door in early jobs at Atari and HP. His specialty was alwa

I find it strange that Wired gives Grooveshark a shout out for allowing people to "sample any song you want before you buy," since the "before you buy" is totally assumed. I love Grooveshark, but it's so good at giving you what you want for

You can find places in SF with short leases if you look hard enough, ranging from even 1-3 months. When moving into such a situation about a month ago, all it took was having my credit report, lease agreement and a verbal pledge that I woul

I think the best point made by the authors is that creating native apps is often avoidable, regardless of what OS you might develop for. Often a website optimized for mobile devices would more than suffice, and would also avoid the propriet

In 1895 I would have been too busy being an immigrant farmer with the rest of my family to go to school at all, so I'm pretty ambivalent about what my standardized testing fate might have been.

This isn't that surprising or revolutionary, it's all just part of the inevitable movement towards ubiquitous computing. It's obvious that we won't always be reliant upon one device's built-in sensors to constantly gather and supply relevan

I also find it bizarre that they pay Lucasfilm Ltd. EVERY TIME they use the word "droid." That is a LOT of dollars for a few Star Wars/robot/geek-masculinity associations.
