If you’re suffering from the same malady with your macbook pro, I learnt this from a visit to my friendly Burlingame Apple Store:
- it’s a known software issue
- no fix yet, but a work-around is to type shift-control-<eject key>

(that’s the key to eject your dvd or cd rom from the superdrive)

This worked for me on both the macbook pro keyboard and my bluetooth keyboard.

I guess this is Apple’s version of the Magic Boss Key!

Wow, this is so cool:

Brilliant use of google trends!

Amazing set of presentations from YCombinator’s Startup school – for anyone interested in doing a startup.

A colleague of mine and I are having an ongoing debate about how to market to advertisers for coolchaser.com. I spoke against the direct, hard sell and came across Mark Cuban’s post about advertiser’s shooting themselves in their collective feet.

At first glance, it seems to support my argument, but on another reflection, perhaps advertisers themselves “think differently”, and would like to be marketed to with a hardsell; is that why they consistently get it wrong with consumers?!

Still, I love Mark Cuban’s recommendation: TV advertisers should “Turn down the sound, maybe people will lean forward and listen !”

Wow, a web based IDE for Ruby on Rails, deployed on EC2 with a push of button!
