How many years of R&D, how much money invested in Advertising, how many proofs that relevancy is key, and still, I can get this:

Dude, listening to Guy Kawasaki is not exactly wanting to fly to Kawasaki, Japan, mmmmkay?

Way to go, Mozilla!

Ah, just a small detail, it’s in Antartica… So there’s probably only one computer there. Another way to see it, then: there’s only 1 Firefox user on the whole continent.

So always, always question the data when you see stats!

There’s tons of list of ‘things to focus on’ to be successful.
but this one is really excellent (well, it seems excellent, we’ll try and let you know!):

http://www.paulgraham.com/13sentences.html

And because I’m all for brevity, here’s my condensed version:

1) Deliver to your users. Bring something valuable to them, listen to them, serve them well.

2) Adapt constantly. Launch often, accept to change your initial ideas, test and measure.

3) Keep it lean. Don’t over spend, don’t over engineer. You know what’s great about being ‘good enough’? Well, it’s that it’s good enough…

4) Monitor goals. Pick up meaningful metrics, and mind them constantly. They are the only objective and quantitative measures of your success, so do really focus on them.

5) Don’t give up. Success is always slower to come than expected. Bad news happen. Investors or journalist may not ‘get it’. Deals will fall through. Just go on.

About the latest definition (a Stackelberg game is a game/competition where the player in leading position is also the first mover)…

One may consider it’s the ‘natural’ order of things, but think twice: most of the time, when someone is in a leading position, it’s his best interest to keep the status quo.

It means the best choice… is to follow the strategy of the player behind, rather than taking risks.

And indeed, that happens in sailboats racing (yes, it’s called a regatta!).
Once a boat is leading, she often mimics the moves of the boat behind, so the distance between the two always remain the same until the finish line.

At last, it gives big corporations a strong justification NOT to innovate!

The New York Times wrote about the fact that people tend to overestimate differences between small quantities and underestimate differences between large ones”.

For instance, people tend to see a larger difference between 5 cents and 500 cents than between 5 cents and $5.

Conclusion: Next time you lower price, show the markdown in cents or rupees.

“I can put down the price of this Hummer by an extra 50,000 cents if you take the mp3 stereo, which is only a 2 grands option”

As seen on Asylum, “Tip #6. Pick a random Tuesday or Wednesday for your fake illness.”

Indeed, I’ve heard rumors that as much as 40% of ’sick days’ were taken on a Monday or a Friday! Isn’t it a proof employees are faking some of their sick days?

Wait a minute, Monday+Friday = 2 days… Out of 5 working days, that’s 2/5 = 40%…

So, given some liars will try to avoid suspicion by choosing a date mid-week, if I were you, I’d stick to the Monday or Friday. Plus, it will extend your week-end in a way the Tuesday can’t.
