I will add one single comment here, though: hackers and geeks often make terrible choices when it comes to what the rest of the world actually needs from technology. There are design and usability trade-offs that trump ideals, no matter how lofty or technically correct.

There are some companies that, by and large, get that. [Jump to top]
