It gets better and better and better and….

Better.

Love you, religious-crazies. :)

I’m really not sure how this could be any funnier.

An anti gay-marriage legislator leaves a gay club with another man, and drunkenly drives a state-owned car, before being busted for DUI.

Ouch.

We were warned a long time ago. You’d think that as a society, we’d get it by now.

Sigh @ religion.

Pearls of Wisdom from Warren Buffet. I’d quote from it, but the whole thing is worth reading.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Flow is part of the current MacHeist nanoBundle.

We don’t do discounts or bundles often (read: never), so you know this one’s got to be pretty…

I’m not gonna lie to you; I’d try way harder to make it to the toilet if I knew I was getting a sticker.

This is why I love you, Merlin.

How do you stop hubris from creeping in? Executive team in the company spends a lot of time thinking and discussing how to retain and recruit the best talent in the world. At the end of the day, I know it’s a cliche, but people are our most important asset in the world by far. It’s people who deliver innovation. We are the most focused company that I know of or have read of or have any knowledge of. We say no to good ideas every day. We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose. The table each of you are sitting at today, you could probably put every product on it that Apple makes, yet Apple’s revenue last year was $40 billion. I think any other company that could say that is an oil company. That’s not just saying yes to the right products, it’s saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as the other ones. I think this is so ingrained in our company that this hubris you talk about that happens to companies that are successful and sole role in life is to get bigger, I can tell you the management team at Apple would never let that happen. That’s not what we’re about. Small list of things to focus on.

This is why I respect how Apple does business. They get it.
