Compared to Google Wave, Facebook would be changing the email environment where Google is changing email itself.

Clicking above will crash Flash. The bug is 17 months old:

This page exploits a bug that I reported to Adobe in September 2008, and has affected every release of Flash on every platform since then. Despite numerous email exchanges with the Flash product manager about the bug, the bug report being hidden from the public for “security” reasons, and Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch’s claims otherwise, it continues to be an issue.

Anyone tried this?

Sky Sports were showing Arsenal - Man. United in 3D this Sunday. First ever live TV broadcast in 3D to a public audience. How about that. Sky 3D will launch this April.

Fred Wilson:

The entrepreneur needs $400k to start the business, believes he/she can return to the investors $100k per year, and therefore will generate a 25% return on investment. That is correct if the business lasts forever and produces $100k for the investors year after year after year.

It must be tiresome watching presentations like this all day long.

Will Smith on Charlie Rose in 2002:

You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s every been built. You don’t start there. You say I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. …. You do that every single day, and soon you have a wall.

This is so, so true. (Via Bobulate)

Matthew Papakipos, engineering director for the Chrome OS project, when asked about the target demographic for Chrome OS:

We don’t really tend to think that way at Google. We’re just really not wired that way. Because as soon as you get into that demographic stuff, it’s sort of hand-wavey pseudo-science stuff. We’re more like, let’s get it working really quick, and let’s give it out to 200 people and see what happens, which is what we did. We currently have about 225 Googlers who have gotten these machines, and what we’re seeing is that a very large fraction of them are using it every week. We don’t know why, but they like it.

So we tend to be very data-driven. We try something, then we go measure the results. Every day when I come in, I look at the graph of usage and say, “Oh, it went up. OK, good.” If it starts dropping, I start worrying.

The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.

Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an engineered product, while Tumblr is a designed product.
