It didn't defy physics because that would be impossible(unless it a new force which we don't know). With the millions upon millions of free throws shot annually at least a few have probably given some strange results. I was a game where after a poorly placed shot the ball rolled back and forth on the top of the backboard. It was surreal. But again..not impossible.

When Scvngr CEO Seth Priebatsch presented the concept of the layer I was so elated at the clarity of the idea. Everything in life is a game, and when business embraces it properly it's a win for everyone. A game creates group think, competition and a rare unarticulated desire for success.

What's sexy for business is the idea that by presenting a gaming layer on their product line is that it allow you're product to become a platform. You're not selling me a iPhone, you're selling me Angry Bird, Scrabble, Plants Vs Zombies.

it vibrates. Guess.

iPhone 4.

We are now importing/exporting thoughts. How much should they charge for a bad piece of code vs a good piece of code? Ridiculous.

4th Rule. Don't go to Denny's. Much better mom and pop establishments probably just a car ride away.

I am a fan of lynda.com. Great tutorials at a reasonable price.

I would suggest you spec out the project exactly how it should be delivered. Plenty of time I see people starting projects with our a complete idea of what should be delivered or even worse have too much feature creep.

Also set milestones that are connected with payments so that you do not get the "delay game".

Supported! Can't wait to see the film when it's complete. Great topic that effects all people in tech.

Stop hiring contractors till you are a big enough company needing sudden growth or can't afford the hiring process.

Hire your intellectual property co-creators. The quality they will create is 10x on a contractor.

If you mention wikileaks or aethism then of course reddit.

Is search still a feature request. I thought it was basic site design?

Old article. A few things have changed since recent change in the 7-pack but a good piece none the less!

It's kinda funny my GF saw this on reddit a few weeks back and yell for me to "Come see it". She points at one of the guys and says that' is XXXX from college, a former bar hopping drinking buddy.

I say no way.

Sure enough...a couple of Facebook wall posts later his secret identity has been outed.

Could Batman exist in a world with social media?

Me - "Thanks mom but do you think IBM would hire me. I dropped out of school to work on this web stuff."

Mom - "You're right maybe you could work with your Uncle. He needs computer help from time to time."

Me- "Good idea. I'll have one of my engineers call him and see if we can help."

Mom - "Good. Maybe they can get work also."

Me - "You're the best."

@colinhostert agreed #newgrammar

err...wait I've had some working dreams that have help my business. So count some of those.

If only people could understand. Usually when you say 70-80 hour weeks you're really saying..every hour I am not sleeping I am most likely working on my business....

My Mother "Your web site is doing really good. You should go work for IBM or Microsoft. They could use your talents."

or the ever popular.

"Your cousin just finished school and he's going to be working on Wall Street. You should call him. Maybe you can help consult with his company since you know computers so well."

argh... I have to register to read article. I'll just open the paper to read the piece.

My business frequently used Drop.io when we needed to do a quick presentation or even to get a throwaway email. I was at the NY Tech Meetup when they presented. I wasn't blown away but I did tell myself "that's an easy tool to use".

So why at times did we use Drop.io vs Skype/Office/dropbox etc... it's because it was a single button click. Simple. No need to have to do multiple email verification. It was as easy using Google or doing a status update.

I do think they didn't receive a lot of traction was because their premium services was that they didn't develop the tools that weren't 100% small enterprise aimed but trying to do a consumer play.
