also from 2009, it is a great post. somehow until now, I didn't see much evolution in this space, do you have an updated data? do you still think there is huge opportunity here?

Comment on Freestanding shelves by Greg C

Hi John,
Don't know if you're still responding to this post, but if so, I had a question for you about these shelves. The design is clever indeed, and I've already cut all my lumber and fitted my 2x2s with the standards. Having issues with the leveling mounts, however. I bought 2-in steel leveling feet and separate threaded brass inserts, which I planned on screwing into the 1/2-in holes I've already tapped on the ends of all my poles. That didn't work so well: brass seemed too soft to get through the end-grain of my poles. So I'm wondering if you have ideas for other options, and if so, where you might recommend buying them (I live in L.A., but can order things on-line, I presume).
If you're still out there and have some thoughts, I'd be much obliged.
Thanks, John!
Greg C.

Comment on Siri gives Apple a controlling layer between you and Google and everything by John

You really have tuned neurons.

Siri technology promoted the "disappearance" of Google of our views. More, Siri actually improved the outcome of the search, because I have seen responses Siri more reasonable (if present) than what Google shows. Siri's responses are more intelligible and correlated with a richer experience and complementary from the point of view of an answer to a question of "human" than the responses from Google, which is now more concerned to show any thing to say they found nothing.

Android already has something similar, albeit incipient, but will not take long to reach the efficiency of Siri.

You don’t need to do anything to make it clickable except be sure to include the leading http:// — the interface users see should recognize it as a URL and make it clickable for you.
