Exercise and allowing myself, which is SO difficult, to take that afternoon power nap has saved me. I find an extreme amount of gilt when I attempt to force myself into that afternoon power nap, but when I do, and wake up afterwards, I'm 100 times more productive than I ever was before, or if I had skipped it.

I find it sad to think that I cannot email sjobs@apple.com and hope for a reply any longer. What a strength he pushed onto this company...

That looks really cool. Does this only work with Chrome? BTW - Next time, hide the hookah sitting in the background :)

I like the idea of a startup within a startup. I'm just confused as to how one would/can keep the company as a whole on track and moving in the correct direction instead of it fighting with itself trying to go in different directions from so many groups within it...

I don't believe the "market" will naturally take care of it. You're looking at this through blurred glasses. People, not markets, will have a choice (if they so decide) to use or not use something. Buy or not buy something. That is their power and we have copious examples through out our history of this indeed working should enough people get together and want to make this change. Again, we are talking about a private company (Facebook) who relies on these very same people for it's success, this is NOT a reference to a form of government that is running out of control. We've seen FB change in the past (see my previous comment), no reason for them not to do the same in the future should WE decide they need to.

There is a huge difference.

Hmmm... I never made any such claims about consumer protection organizations. This is something you've conjured up on your own.

The bottom line is, if this is something we (the users) do not want, we have the power to make Facebook change it. We've seen examples of this in the past with Facebook (ex: their friend recommended ad's).

I don't believe we can rely on our government run organizations to wholly protect us, nor have I made any such claim. But we sure as hell can vote what we want and don't want, from a private company, through our buying and/or usage patterns.

If Facebook is "lying through its teeth" it will only hurt them in the long run. What is even more realistic is that they are getting (have become) so big that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. That becomes typical in a large organization.

This could also simply be a way for them to protect themselves in the future, as we've all seen just how heated the patent space is becoming for the big boys...

Yea those are great, sorta reminds me of this from 2005:

"Do you think there's a market for it?"

That's not a question you should be asking us, that's a question you should be answering yourself. Do you see people chatting about this need on forums? Google? Etc... Do you believe it's a problem people do not know they have yet?

Best way to test the latter is to code it up, post it here, and see if anyone uses it.

I don't agree with that posting. Amazon is going after a totally different market. The Kindle Fire will be no where near as elegant and trendy as an Apple iPad. They are for totally different purposes.
