What a long, strange trip it’s been.
Apple’s market capitalization officially passed Microsoft’s Wednesday afternoon, making the Cupertino, California, company — for the first time — the largest technology company in the world.
With a market cap of $241.5 billion versus Microsoft’s $239.5 billion, Apple also became the second-largest company on the S&P 500, according to Standard &...
Here’s an app that pays for 12 iPads the very first time you use it. Buy one iPad for every single chair in your meeting room… like the projector and the table, it’s part of the room.
I recently sat through a 17 hour meeting with 40 people in it (there were actually 40 people, but it only felt like 17 hours.). That’s a huge waste of attention and resources.
Here’s...

Funny, touching, filled with moving romanticism, scenes so poignant that they make you cry. Like when he arrives at the crime scene; I’ve never seen in any movie such a heartfelt sense of tragedy associated with a murder. It is so human; every look, touch, silence; it permeates humanity. When Soledad Villamil provokes the criminal, she enjoys a triumph for all women; a masterpiece of...

There is nothing better than to enjoy a sunset on a nice place, relax and watch live the beauty of nature. It’s even better when you have a camera to snap some shots of this great moment, and this is what we have here, a collection of the most beautiful sunset photography from all over the globe.

That’s the way a friend described someone she had just met. She was sure (just as I’m sure) that he’s going places. Once the determination is in his eyes, the learning will take care of itself.
On the other hand, if I can see the fear in your eyes, then I’m not sure that learning alone will take care of the problem. No one can prove that the path you’re on is risk...

I had been using SQLite in my development environment, and PostgreSQL in the beta environment for one of my projects, until today. I decided to change to PostgreSQL.
I think it’s a good (and almost essential) practice to use the same tools/libraries on development, beta and production.
This is what I did:
1. Created two PostgreSQL databases locally (app_development & app_test) with...

Diaspora, the “open Facebook alternative” (NYT story for background if you aren’t familiar), has raised Over $170,000 from over 4600 people in just a few weeks. All for an idea. That’s an impressive start if victory was measured in press coverage, cash, and cool. Here’s the problem: Diaspora has all the wrong things at the wrong time. Competition that kills isn’t pre-announced — it catches an...

The largest school in the world is run (and taught) by one man. Simple, direct, clear, no frills, no tricks. Just a computer blackboard, YouTube, a great attitude, a gift for straightforward teaching, and a love of sharing. Sal Khan is a new hero. Find out more about the Khan Academy.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519), was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, botanist and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to...

As a former i-banker, I struggle to overcome each of the following five shortcomings. I’ll write about how I’m dealing with them in future posts. But, the first step is recognizing you have a problem. You have no useful start-up skills. You certainly didn’t learn how to program (cheap excel macros don’t count). But, it […]

I’ve heard something similar before, but not quite as direct.
This is a video of a marketing stunt that KLM did in Manchester Airport last month. It shows a guy reclining in an “invisible chair”. (There must be a metal tube going down his extended leg with an area to sit on, all hidden in his pants. Clever.)
