The Best Article Every day (96) permalink
Written by The Atheist Blogger The following 101 quotes are some that I have stumbled upon on the web, or seen in books / popular culture. Each quote was either written by an atheist, or is about atheism in general. The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a ...Shared by Arvin (7) Bharath (0) Dave E.

That’s how well-designed multifunction printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines do it: Each function is compartmentalized by grouping and graphics, so each is relatively simple. HP invented a common control mechanism (their “Q” control) so the same principles governed usage of all functions. Learn to do one function, you then know how to do all of them.Good mapping is essential to ensure that the relationship between actions and results is apparent.But most important of all is to provide an understandable, cohesive conceptual model, so the person understands what is to be done, what is happening, and what is to be expected. This requires continual, informative feedback, which can also be done in such a way as to be pleasurable: see any Apple product.

India Doesn’t Need Olympic Pride (9)

The India Uncut Blog (48) permalink
A shorter version of this piece was published in Friday’s edition of The Wall Street Journal Asia. It was a gunshot heard across a subcontinent. On Monday, Abhinav Bindra, a 25-year-old shooter from India, took aim for his final shot in the 10-meter air rifle event at the Olympic Games. The pressure was intense, but Mr Bindra shot an almost-perfect 10.8 to win the gold medal. His fans and supporters jumped up in delight in ...Shared by anand (5) Bose (8) CannonGod (243) Kunal (2) mndoci (54) Rk (13) sanyam (5) Shyam (6) Sids (20)Explore read four notes- Kunal said: awesome article...
- Rk said: When I said, I dont feel proud at all about Olympic Gold I met with stares as if I am from an outside plante..or worse as if I was unpatriotic. Of course, govts falling over to grant money itself is a folly beyond imagination, which constituted the angst, even neglecting this, I do not feel proud of his achievement. I am happy & jealous at the same time though, someone lot younger than me achieved great thing and is humble&level headed too.
- mndoci said: Hmmm ... I am not sure I completely agree. All the examples above are exceptions rather than the rule. We need some sort of system, whether public or private. Most of all though, we need an appreciation of sporting excellent. Some countries make sports way too important. In others the pendulum swings the opposite way
- Bose said: Excerpt:"I shall go against the prevailing wisdom, then, and say that I don’t mind if our government spends less money on sport, or even none. Where will our Olympic medals come from then, you ask (as if the last few decades have brought us a slew of them). Well, lift enough people to prosperity, and the sporting laurels will roll in. Ask Abhinav Bindra. "

The problem I'm having with Google currently isn't the level of quality their services provide. It's the complete lack of design unification their products show. Their stuff may be simplistic-looking, but it's almost all ugly. That's a problem for me.

What Startups Can Learn From Haruki Murakami (74)

ReadWriteWeb (3879) permalink
I'm a big fan of Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. The genius of Murakami is in his discipline, focus and determination. I see him as a virtual Zen master - an embodiment of wisdom, passion, skills and exceptional will. The elements of his work and life story are inspirational and (here's where ReadWriteWeb comes in) particularly applicable when you're running a startup. Therefore in this post, we take a look at what modern technology startups can ...
