"This is a really good looking ad. Do you know what the problem with ads like this is? They don't work." Actually, they do. They become part of the brand story. Whether you realize it or not, Instagram has evolved the SAME WA

find collaborators. If you can't, that's usually a sign the project is not interesting/challenging enough to keep YOU working on it for a year. Don't just ping your friends because they're your friends, collaborator

The fight is more important than the outcome, in some ways. It will be interesting to see how they play the PR/legal/international angles to get at least decent results in NY.

Actually, legally, they sort of have to give up the data. They are taking a risk not handing over the data, thankfully it's the right risk to take. The law is malleable for a reason; laws often become outdated. Business wise they shoul

A startup isn't a massive company and Google is notoriously atypical with transparency and inclusiveness with hiring. Even so, just conducting an interview is far from learning about the thought process behind the actual act of hiring.

Not true. Rarely do you (a cog) see the hiring process (a different cog) used by your massive company (the machine). Especially when you're just out of college.

He reduces the entire situation to two options. What I've learned from being in a startup? There are never just two options. His article does students a massive disservice by creating just an A or B scenario.

Public Relations for your Engineering Team suggests working on getting them out in front of the product, not just hiding behind it. You touched on it, "Engineers are no longer the loner geeks, working in dimly lit rooms, hacking away&q

Yes. Apple designs should be inspired from other fields (Russian cosmonaut style, 1950s minimalism, etc.) rather than being derivative of another phone's style. If iOS 7 is not so derivative, they should speak to that so every article

Meet people. There is a wealth of talented and interesting people at a good hackathon. If you're joining a team, be very clear about your abilities and limits so they can resource properly. Find people who need a break and chat to them

Apple used to set the standard. It is sad to see them falling into derivative design, yet I do love the 1950's cosmonaut spaceship concept behind it.

Simplicity is the key to Dropbox. Their MO is to reduce the number of answers a user needs to know. This is a (rather fantastic) evolution of that.
