I don't think undoing a vote would be a valuable feature. One of the nice things about this site is that it is minimalistic.
Undoing a vote, even if it is useful, would add clutter to the UI. Because I always enjoy the sparseness, but would rarely want to undo a vote, I think the site is better off without the feature.
"Undoing a vote, even if it is useful, would add clutter to the UI."
No, it would just leave the arrows in place except highlighted when "voted". You could then click it again to unvote, or click the opposite arrow to reverse vote. Just like Reddit.
I'm not saying I want unvoting, as I don't really care, but I don't think it clutters the interface in any meaningful way. (Though it does make the pair of arrows multi-state, which could be confusing for some users. Doesn't seem to bother redditors though.)
No undo vote does make me think a bit more carefully when I'm voting on something though. The only time it becomes a problem is if I accidently click on an arrow, which I think has only happened once for me so far.
Adding undo wouldn't add clutter, just see how reddit does it.
Looks to me like Apple has taken some of these tips, partially taken others, and taken others farther than James Daly even suggested.
3. Start pampering independent software vendors: Taken -- what could be more pampering than switching the underlying OS to one programmers like?
7. Don't disappear from the retail chains: Taken farther -- They certainly have a retail presence now, with the opening of Apple stores.
8. Buy a song: Taken farther
10. Get a great image campaign: Taken
12. Build a fire under your ad agency: Taken
15. Dump (or outsource) the Newton, eMate, digital cameras, and scanners: Taken
18. Stop being buttoned-down corporate: Taken
25. Portables, portables, portables: Taken farther
34. Port the OS to the Intel platform: Taken
50. Give Steve Jobs as much authority as he wants in new product development: Taken
That's just the most obvious ones (to me) from the first 50. I bet other people here could note more of them. Point is, though, many of these tips were beneficial.
And finally he makes a prediction:
101. Don't worry. You'll survive. It's Netscape we should really worry about.
Well, out of 101 tips, I'd hope a few of them hit the mark. :) IMHO, the best one was this:
14. Do something creative with the design of the box and separate yourselves from the pack. The original Macs stood out because of their innovative look. Repeat that.
Steve Jobs got the authority and the designs are great. That's why I've got an iPhone in my pocket and a MacBook Pro in front of me.
I can remember thinking back then that Apple ought to get out of the hardware business. It might in fact have been the right move under any other CEO than Steve Jobs. He has beaten the Japanese at music players. How many other American CEOs could have done that?
They did get out of the hardware business, kindof. Apple only does the design (and not all of it). The low margin stuff is handled by companies in Taiwan or China.
Apple seems to be the only device manufacturer that understands usability and is capable of producing ok software (microsoft is problem #2, amazingly).
The images are a bit fuzzy looking. Also, the tagline is a bit of a mouthful. How about: "All of your friend's updates all in one place" instead of "Readr delivers your friends' latest updates from around the Web.
Based on this info you need to cut ties with these people. Equity is for risk takers. If you are taking all of the risks, then you should get all of the equity.
Now, if you have already shared the equity, then you are in a big bind.
