  2. “one day, in decades to come, we’ll be asked about these years, and what we did at the birth of the internet era. The decisions you make today and tomorrow, will be the answer you will give to your grandchildren. Make it an answer you can be proud of.”

  3. “If you ran a high street store, you wouldn’t force your customers to mop the floor before you serve them, on account of the people who came in earlier with muddy boots. That mud is your problem, not theirs. The same goes for spam. reCAPTCHA bothers me the most because it tries to sugar coat users’ frustration and make it palatable to site owners.”

  4. “The fonts on our LCD displays are rendered using pixels, each made up of 3 colors: red, green and blue. Instead of using the whole pixel to show a piece of a letter, subpixel rendering actually uses these 3 individual colors separately to increase the effective resolution of the screen. Even though these subpixels are colored, at distance our eyes don’t tend to see the difference, so what subpixel rendering essentially does is give us 3 times more resolution to render fonts, resulting in sharper lines and crisper fonts that are easier to read.”

  5. “When applied strategically, the concept of visual weight can help us guide the viewer’s attention to the places we want in a design.”

  6. “Critics sometimes confuse wedge features with final products. For example, some argue that mobile photo sharing is “just a feature,” or that game mechanics on geo apps like Foursquare are just faddish “toys.” Some go so far as to argue that the tech startup world as a whole is going through a phase of just building “dinky” features and companies. Perhaps some startups have no plan and really are just building features, likely with the hope of flipping themselves to larger companies. Good startups, however, think about the whole wedge from the start. They build an initial user base with simple features and then quickly iterate to create products that are enduringly useful, thereby creating companies that have stand-alone, defensible value.”

  7. “This underlined the fact that until recently audio has yet to really find its place on the Internet in the way that other media such as video has and that this should really be remedied – especially since it’s a highly familiar and, thanks to mobile apps, portable means of sharing messages, thoughts and ideas.”

  9. “the Carrie Bradshaw ethic of being both sexy and independent turned out to depend on the maddening linchpin of male commitment. And those fabulous Manolos were at least as enslaving as they were empowering. Men got an eyeful. Women got bunions.”

  10. “I am dreaming of the next stage of the social revolution, one that continues to emerge from our connections and conversations, where we have a stake and a say, not just a ticket to sit in the audience with a box of popcorn in our lap.”
