Verizon/Sprint should use statements from this filing in their advertisements!
amahadik··on Brad Feld: A message to graduating MBAs
I'm graduating in less than 2 weeks. Interesting thoughts, but not really awe-inspiring or life-changing. Maybe that is THE message.
amahadik··on How Will You Measure Your Life?
Excellent insights by the author of "Innovator's Dilemma."
amahadik··on Five Reasons Why Twitter Will Kill TweetDeck
I would have thought that TweetDeck would have provided the right ecosystem partner for Tweeter to thrive!
amahadik··on Facebook Triggers Same Hormone As Cuddling
Oh c'mon! I'm just wondering how they secured funding to prove this hypothesis. I'm part of the scientific community and I know how difficult it is to justify your research projects.
amahadik··on IPhone 4 About to Be Flickr's Top Camera
Yeah, the iPhone 4 is ok for basic pictures. I hate how long it takes to find the Camera app and then wait for it to load before it can actually take a picture!

Why can't the iPhone allow for a "take a snap" button? Or do we have to wait for the iPhone 5 for this?

amahadik··on You can’t call ‘time out’ in Silicon Valley
I like your analogy of the arms supplier! Is Google making any money on the Android licensing though?
amahadik··on You can’t call ‘time out’ in Silicon Valley
From personal experience, iPad is a great consumption/reading device. When you have to create powerpoints/excel sheets or write code, you still end up needing a desktop computer.

amahadik··on Entrepreneurs and the Cult of Failure
"He is a predator, and predators seek to incur the least risk possible while hunting!"

Very well said!

amahadik··on Entrepreneurs and the Cult of Failure
An interesting concept on risk-averseness is that it also depends on how much you have to lose. That is, if you have not much to lose, you don't mind taking on more risk.

This might also explain why startups as they grow up, tend to lose their entrepreneurial spirit (Do you Yahoo! anymore?).

amahadik··on Entrepreneurs and the Cult of Failure
Yes, the author helps clearly distinguish between anxiety and fear, which I felt is very insightful!

Done. Thanks!
amahadik··on Receivd - beautiful, fast filesharing for everyone
That probably refers to the iPhone's options on sending a scaled version of the images it takes.

amahadik··on Dropbox down? ...And now up!
Do they use their own DB or is it based on Amazon RDS? It would be interesting to know where the downtime is coming from.
