Oh Kirk, you rapscallion you.

24" panel that’s 2560x1440? Going to be hell to read text on that. No point...that’s why it’s a good deal, those are hard displays to use for personal or professional use. 24" display maximum density should be 1080p (or 1200p for those 16:10 lovers).

What it CEOs tend to look competent because they tend to be...and competency is what makes them look that way?

Quiet is definitely a necessity for a balanced life, but I think there are two types of work and only one is really benefitted from quiet:

Had that at the last company. Some people hated it and most were tepidly living day-by-day. I was more fortunate to be a manager and also knew how to control the Sonos system when anything really awful would come on.

Depends on what state you’re in; business taxes and fees are based on that. I know in Rhode Island and California the prices range wildly. In CA it’s $800/y plus the higher tax rate. It’s pretty easy to look up, just google business tax rates [state].

To be clear an LLC doesn’t necessarily help; a business does. LLC may or may not help depending on the business type (and local law...really a pain). But if you have a business then you’re doing payroll, so taxes are handled differently. When you just get paid directly, the rate is (in CA) 35% no matter what. Through…

Been trying to buy this for the last half hour now. I’m not on T-Mobile though I’ve got an older business line that’s on it. Either way everything is broken with the ordering for me, go figure.

After a certain amount of money made per year, it’s almost always cheaper to just make a business and pay yourself through it. Unless you’re making so little that you expect a tax rebate, and any additional money spent just goes against your gross. I’ve been there and it sucks, but now that I’ve got all my earnings…

First, this is awesome Alan. Now I know how I’ll be spending my free time for the next 3 years.

Biggest issue people have noted on Amazon directly (comments on the store card + Ratings) is that the bank it uses screws customers on payments, percentages...really anything. Have you seen that happen? Because I’ve been using the Amazon Visa and love it, but have stopped from signing up for this card because of the…

I live in LA and the most expensive movie tickets here are $16 for non-3D. Most everywhere else is $10. No reason to spend that much I don’t care if you live in Manhattan.

I read the title and immediately had this negative urge against it and wanted to comment before reading. Then I read it and saw that the message is...welp, wrong. “Spend less than you earn” is simple, but it’s also ambiguous. The correct phrase: “Don’t spend what you don’t have.”

$20 says listerine wins because everyone uses it, not because it’s actually the best. Just the longest-lived and most marketed.

Updog’s my favorite. Gotta love Updog.

Agreed. Too bad there's always someone who not only has to have their point heard, but then other people who have to let them finish and still others who absolutely have to respond. AKA neverending and unproductive meetings due to egos.

As someone who's worked in startups all my life...anyone offering startup advice is almost always wrong.

Dammit. While I'm not on all Gawker sites (normally Giz and LH), the community has proven to be excellent almost all the time and never needed any system to defer comments from appearing immediately. On the one hand it's great to see Gawker grow, but the clear fault in that is the good always comes with the bad.

What's worked for me is to pitch real publications. Pitch them interested stuff, write up interesting stuff of your own anywhere, and prove that you've got the skill to write for a bigger site. Then you'll be able to grow in the industry. Otherwise, you're working for your own site and that's equally about advertising…
