    This is exactly like the notes we passed in junior high! Exactly! Somebody said something and somebody else scoffed and that one came back and roared and then another one said he didn't get the message. There's nothing new under the sun, but I think Mardou was more incisive way back when ... #skype

    37Signals is not perfect. I dumped them long ago for not responding to questions about the security of data stored with them.

    It is nice to hear a contrary voice in the echo chamber, though. And no one can deny 37Signals' chops as developers.

    37 signals makes some great products but it's also a bit cultish

    But...you're discounting the possibility that a genius can also be an asshole? Where'd you get THAT idea?

    Usenet is still a great source for really old, stupid crap people posted when they didn't have a clear idea as to where this Internet thing might be headed. I less than 3 it for that reason alone.

    ~FOR THOSE CURIOUS ABOUT HIS RESEARCH, HERE IS A KEY PARAGRAPH FROM THE REFERENCED ARTICLE~

    "Maneesh Agrawala's work focuses on developing new tools and algorithms to visualize and efficiently make sense of tremendous volumes of information. To do this, he draws on an understanding of human cognition, and specifically how the brain processes images and visual displays."
