For all you Apple-troll commenters out there, the "razor blade effect" is the second oldest principle of business (after buy low, sell high). The most amazing thing about the NYT article, though, on top of pretending that they "uncovered" this strategy, is the notion that it is bad for the company! Apple made itself…

Troll of Fool - you decide!

I think your last point is really central to everything: It's a constant work in progress. Every day you have to get up and make the marriage work, but not in a hard way: you just need to do the little things each day that makes your spouse feel like they are appreciated, like thanking them for the little chores they…

Yahoo serious?

Great list, but the scariest sci-fi TV series of all time was Sapphire and Steel! It was basically all about time travel ghost stories. I still get the creeps thinking about them!

My best advice: Start right now with what you have! Don't wait around for the perfect equipment and the perfect script and the best actors — the best way to learn is to start making films with what you have and then make improvements as you go along. Your technique will improve by doing, and by actually using your…

I'd start out with the 1963 and 1964 Newport Folk Festivals and hang out in between in Greenwich Village for the Folk Scene. Then I'd go to the 1965 Newport Folk Festival to see Dylan do his electric set and right after that I'd head out to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco to get a head start on the Summer of Love.…

I had the chance to fly First Class this summer for the first time, and what was so depressing is it made me realize that the only thing that makes first class good is that economy is so awful! And not just on the plane — the biggest incentive to fly first class is being able to skip all the lines for checkin,…

Of course, there is always my favorite Rambo III quote:

I agree iOS7 has some big differences that people will need to get used to, but I don't think iOS7 represents any kind of a brand change for Apple: Ive's already put his mark on the hardware and so the software design of iOS7 really just brings the look of the interface in line with the look of the box around the…

Yup.

Does Barbarella count? It didn't make a lot of money, but it certainly had a lot of action.

Don't know if he is the best, but Jean Cocteau is certainly the coolest!

Absolutely! Saw the first episode air in the UK when I was about 9 or 10. Scared the bejesus out of me. Watched the whole series a few years ago — still creeped me out!

For the same reason most big hollywood products are flopping: A focus on eye-candy and roller coasters rather than substance and plot. The three that did well kept their focus on the characters and the story, but sadly only because the stories were so well established that they had no choice!

What I find amazing about Freud and Jung is that while their theories and practices no longer have any relevance, their original observations are still very relevant — its just now we have new theories and practices to explain them!

Agreed!

The ultimate pro-lifehacking quote comes from Alfred North Whitehead:

To be honest, this reads like a list that a total egomaniac thinks about themselves as being a good leader (which means they are probably not). In my experience, the only thing that has made a good boss is consistency. It does not matter what their personality is like, or what standards they hold, so long as they…

Longer version of "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
