Cool article! Although for me what stood out in the article was not that he made his developers do customer support, it was his work ethic and his outlook on life.
I like it that he advocates "work really hard for 40 to 45 hours a week, but we believe in people having strong personal lives". Makes for a more balanced life and ultimately a more sustainable company.
For me I usually feel tired and crappy when I start going to the gym after a long break. I find that it is only after I exercise for a few weeks in a row that I start feeling good after a workout.
So my humble advice is to stick with your exercise routine for a while and see how that goes. good luck!
I've actually been meaning to get an iMac or Macbook for my parents to replace the old desktop at home. BUT when I checked out the iPad today, everything just clicked into place - this device is perfect for them!
First of all, its cheap compared to a mac laptop or desktop. Secondly, it is great for surfing and checking emails, which is what my parents do 99% of the time on the computer. Any laptop or desktop would be an overkill for their use case. Thirdly, the iPad's zooming functionality is the best in the market now, and would be extremely useful for older folks with bad eyesight. The small screens on netbooks just do not cut it.
I think apple has again come up with a device that will revolutionize the way we use computers, just not the way all of us tech minded geeks wanted it to.
I disagree. You are effectively saying elementary school teaching activities do not change and are the same now as compared to 20, 30 years ago. I admit there might be some valid cases of "evergreen" articles, but I would argue that for these cases, showing the date will not take away anything from the article.
Readers are smart, trust them to put the date in the proper context rather than hide it from them.
Kind of touching in an odd way. I will miss Steve Jobs when he retires from Apple.
