"Haluatko ennustaa tulevaa? Katso ennuste vuoden 2009 Euroviisujen voittajasta jo ennen finaalia iGooglen "Ennustaja"-gadgetilla. Pikkuohjelma näyttää kilpailijoiden suosion Googlen hakudataan perustuen ja laskee kuinka paljon he saisivat pisteitä jos äänestys tapahtuisi tänään! Joidenkin maiden pisteet annetaan ammattilaisraadin perusteella, joten valitettavasti ennuste ei näiden maiden kohdalla ole yhtä tarkka kuin niiden, joissa yleisöäänet ratkaisevat."

"A business model is the architecture of a business or project. It has four elements:
1. What compelling reason exists for people to give you money? (or votes or donations)
2. How do you acquire what you're selling for less than it costs to sell it?

4. How will strangers find out about the business and decide to become customers?

"HTML 5 has the audio and video elements that conveniently allow an author to add multimedia to their pages in an intuitive way. The advantage to the consumer is that the files will play in the browser with no plugins, and the data will be in the browser and therefore can be manipulated with scripts."

"Fear slows teams of all sizes down. Even if you have a large team, could you create a sandboxed environment where anyone can make changes that affect a small number of customers? Even as we grew the team at IMVU, we always maintained a rule that anyone could run a split-test without excess approvals as long as the total number of customers affected was below a critical threshold. Could you create a separate release process for small or low-risk commits, so that work that happens in small batches is released faster? My prediction in such a situation is that, over time, an increasing proportion of your commits will become eligible for the fast-track procedure."

"If Spotify is lacking exclusive streaming deals with labels, like it probably is, what prohibits Apple from wiping them out in a couple of months after Apple comes out with their own streaming offering? Just asking.
So, it looks like the only way for Spotify to thrive would be for Apple to not go into streaming. Why wouldn’t they?"

"On taas vuoden perinteisen maraton-kirjoituksen aika. Kuten usealle muullekin tuolla juoksemisen kuninkuusmatkalla on käynyt, oma tieni nousi taas pystyyn 30 kilometrin kohdalla. Kun ihmiset kävelevät ylämäessä ohitsesi, vaikka omasta mielestäsi vielä juokset, tiedät että maaliin pääseminenkin on saavutus.
