It's a fluff piece.

Flagged for spam. I don't care if it's the New York Times or not. What does this have to do with anything?

Yahoo and Alibaba aren't a good fit. Yahoo is a bottom-feeder online entertainment company (nobody still uses their search, do they?) and Alibaba is a global marketplace for manufacturers. This union doesn't make sense from a brand identity standpoint.

People tend to be irrational towards ants too. They see one march across their kitchen floor and lose it. So to clear up common misperceptions, I wrote "Take a humane stance with ants". http://allsprawldown.com/animal-ethics/taking-an-ethical-sta...

Time capsule feature sounds cool. I hope you add that. I'm signed up.

So you merge all the separate calendars into one to get the complete story?

This is fascinating stuff. Have you read the book "Experience Curating" by chance?

Stupidity and greed are year round.

A quick three second search turns up this: 92% of black male teens unemployed in Chicago, 83% nationally: http://www.blackyouthproject.com/2014/01/92-of-black-male-te...

Doesn't look to me that young African Americans are given the same employment opportunities. They are disadvantaged from the start.

Did you read the article? In almost every instance, most good jobs were unavailable to immigrants and members of a cultural or racial minority.

These criminals only wanted respect and the same things other Americans had a birthright to. They believed organized crime was the only way to achieve the same standard of living.

This motherly relationship Google has with you is going to turn bad. At some point, you'll be betrayed. The more you rely on Google, the more it's going to hurt you.

As a Blackberry user, I was just thinking today how I could never go back to the iPhone. Multitasking is much faster on the BB10 OS. No button mashing and drilling down menus - not like I remember with the iPhone.

Of course, the iPhone has it's strengths too, but I just want to get work done.

This is an ad.

Yes. Basecamp is great for managing them all. If ideas sit too long and get cold, I archive or delete them.

Another way I deal with "cold" ideas is through StartJumper: http://startjumper.com. I design a one page business plan, brand it, then sell it as a concept or business starter.

I'm wondering if there's a more ecologically intelligent version of the Evernote Moleskin... a notebook I can scan and digitize, but uses 100% recycled paper?

Yes, in Ontario Canada. It's home of BlackBerry (the smartphones company) and a hotbed for startups. Google has an office downtown in downtown Waterloo.

If going on a nature walk with a coffee in hand, people need to be prepared to hold on to the empty cup until they get to a garbage can.

I've used Hootsuite and Buffer, and Buffer is the better deal by a country mile IMO. Hootsuite is annoying with its "university" and other nonsense it tries to upsell.

The site isn't responsive (mobile friendly) on my Blackberry, so I suggest looking into solving that.

I like the "normal", affordable look myself, so please don't deviate too far from that. You got a good thing going.

And I love the site! Nice writing of product descriptions too. If you had an email newsletter I'd definitely subscribe.

I'm convinced Uber is the next Groupon. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Can you really validate a product without taking risk? By the time you think through, develop, pitch and launch an MVP, much of the hard work is done.

It's kind of like a parking lot for business opportunities I didn't go through with.

Look at your other abilities that can add value for people. The goal is to be a linchpin. Indispensable. With only basic programming skills, you need to add other intangibles to the mix.

Reminds me of that old Cree Indian prophesy:

Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Mercurial has the most clear-headed read on the situation. His comment should be upvoted to the top.

As for Microsoft, they have demonstrated time and time again they are not aligned with the user but with Big Brother. They are lawful evil, to use D&D parlance.

Start Small Stay Small is essential reading IMO. I have the e-book/audio book package and I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Uber will buy Lyft. Not that I want that to happen, but it seems likely.

Cool. I'll have to check it out then :)

A psychological fitness regime for dying. That's all I can say for now: http://eepurl.com/XXOnD
