It seems fair, the project was based around "an HTML5 version of Starcraft", and it was using direct assets from the game. If they changed the in-game assets and said "an HTML5 RTS, similar to Starcraft" I don't thi

Wasn't really suspicious - there was a call-to-action at the top of the app to help Evernote by leaving a review (the reviews help their app store optimization). There are a lot of die hard Evernote advocates out there that'd be h

Car2Go user in Toronto. Love the service. Cars are available all across the city with lots of places allocated to park. They frequently have promos to waive the starting membership fee ($60 I think) and give some free minutes. I drove my gi

Pretty much, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Twitter kneecapped TwitPic with a trademark lawsuit - which was already a single-founder company, in a lot of pain after they encouraged use of his platform for years and created the

The most effective solution for this issue would be to create some form of online coalition of companies against these type of over-reaching copyright taxes (Google, Bing, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) If the newspapers that lobbied f

I don't this is unnecessarily unethical or unwarranted. If several members of a team have been struggling with a problem, it's interesting to see a person's first take on it. Are you coming up with creative new solutions that

There's a wide-range of workstation support managers out there. I've worked in a small investment office that saved the drives for a couple years after the pull. I've been on a team in a government office that was literally &

And in turn the company should look to copyright assignment. As a contractor, you shouldn't be signing umbrella work-for-hire clauses either. They're usually part of the shotgun approach of "we own everything you do, always,

Looks quite interesting. To be completely honest, I've used Bittorrent Sync + my own server to roll my own in-house Dropbox like service between my machines and haven't had any issues at all. Sure. I wish it was open source. Yes.

+1 this. The time you're going to spend with a lawyer making sure that they're not screwing you (again) on dilution isn't going to be worth the value of the equity. At this stage it'd probably be more worthwhile for you

Never had to deal with takedowns personally. I do personally know of a company that's paying for rights to use very short sound clips from movies though (from a very small library at that) - so it probably is on the studios' radar

I'd have to string strongly with this. Everything we know about Netflix is that they're a data driven company. Chances are it's far more likely they have seen viewing rates drop for Comcast customers who were affected by the
