6th Grader makes iPad apps – TED talk →
From the original post:
Thomas Suarez is in the 6th grade at a middle school in the South Bay. And while most of his peers are probably fussing over new soccer kleets or watching the Disney channel, he’s creating iOS apps and giving TED Talks.
He’s not just building apps, he built a company. Great public speaking, too.

Building the Right Product →
Eric Ries promoting his new book, The Lean Startup:
When they switched to routinely split-testing new features, they made a shocking discovery: most of their new features did not change customer behavior at all.
Because new features add overhead to products (generally making them more complicated), a new feature has to provide so much benefit to customers that it’s worth incurring this overhead. There is no such thing as a “neutral” new feature. “The same” means worse.
He goes on to talk about how a product needs vision, with science (testing) as a complement to that. I’m looking forward to reading the book.
