I get your point, I do this all the time. About the general population I call social bias: its not cool to do these space-saving hacks, people think you are being cheap and unfashionable, they will rather work themselves to death to afford

I think the real news here is stuff like this: According to figures collected by Joel Kotkin, the dotcom crash wiped out 70,000 jobs in the valley in a little over a single year, and since then the tech industry has added only 30,000 new o

Flashprint: we print whatever you want and send it to you on an airtight envelope. Once it's exposed to air you have 10 until it becomes a blank page. I want 20 billion, cash no stock.

I think nothing shows how big the space race really was than the fact that so many countries poured resources into building a national space program See the case of Argentina: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en-419&

When you consider that companies will spend 7 figures for that POS, it boggles the mind... Yes awful..... so exactly which companies are paying upwards of a million for this? I just got an idea for a startup, I call it it Terrib.ly All cu

Here's the thing, I used to write very polite comments on YouTube that could be divided in either opinions that added to the discussion or questions to the uploader but now this goggle+ bs is so annoying and inconvenient that from now

How do I put this: teens aren't stupid, they know fb and others farm their data for profit with little consideration for privacy. So what they do? the same I would: leave and move to a better solution. I did that all the time back in t

There's a world of difference, and in fact Johnson's case has a happy ending compared to the hundreds of honest inventors who lost everything in legal battles against the conglomerates that stole their ideas and made billions. Che

OP how do you deal with mobile/non-responsive websites? specially when the functionality of the mobile version is considerably limited from the full desktop one.

Gen Y here and yes the OP nails it, but I wonder what's left for us second and third worlders. Things are much worse here, you truly can't trust the authorities at all. The situation is, short version, 10x worse than any point mad

The problem is that nothing ever gets done in this country, the Alianza sole purpose was to fight corruption and they didn't do anything, the FPV has been riding the gravy train like the oligarchs did a hundred years ago and just put

Man after what happened with the N4 I thought google would get its shit together this time. Guess the store not crashing counts as an improvement...

I was just going to mention that: given economies of scale custom babies will probably share a lot of identical prefab genetic blocks for every specification since it would be far cheaper than engineering every trait from scratch. At that

One word: Cinnamon It's what Ubuntu should be, its what Windows 8 should be! it's classic and yet functional and customizable, both my parents laptops are using it as UI and I hear no complaints.

Are there any non-business journalists left? last time I checked CNN had no war correspondents anymore and most news sites have turned into gossip rags not that different from tabloids a decade ago. I think the core problem is that tech is

In what planet? I'm not even going to use myself as an example because I do other heavy stuff with my PC, I'm going to use my non-tech friends: one of them got a new laptop with 8GB of RAM, why? because she was complaining about w

That's the problem, the people who want this "as art" aren't nearly as many as those who bought the previous mac pro for work, so again you have the same problem the G4 cube had.

It doesn't matters, this is a halo product, it's main purpose is to showcase the company's engineering chops not being a sales success story like the iphone or ipad were. Problem is previous such products like the G4 cube coe

No doubt on the quality but the reality here is that even with proprietary hardware and thus able to optimize everything for the surface like apple does it this has a low battery life. It's all the x86 baggage windows has, osx threw ev

The way I see it its actually quite simple: the intrinsic value of X, anything from a piece of code to a building, needs a standard expression, and that expression is fiat currency. Currency has a value as long as someone is willing to trad

If valve couples this to a reasonably priced htpc and sell it they could get nearly every game available on steam ruining on it using wine. That's easy because like with consoles you have only one hardware configuration so getting a ga

Another case of socialization of incompetence: instead of blaming the subpar decision-makers who drove BB to the ground those who did the best they could to put this platform back in the game get a pink slip.

That's one country, out of the entire world. Smartphones were less rare in Europe before 2005, but still there.
