I honestly don't think the metered approach will work for them. Most people will hit that point, and instead of paying will search for, and find, they have other alternatives. In the end, NY Times will just lose most of those regulars as th

Or consider Dropbox that started at getdropbox.com before obtaining dropbox.com.

The weight savings comes from the material it's made of. From their website: "Cargoshell is manufactured from composites and therefore much lighter than a steel container." http://www.cargoshell.com/EN/concept.php

When I moved to Orange County 15 years ago I was told to get a Thomas Guide, a thick ring binded map book for LA and OC. It was always in the car, and was a life saver for finding where to go. I guess now the advice would be get a GPS.

This is one that still irritates me, and heard it misused (by non-windows dev) just this past weekend at a conference. Sequel is a product, S-Q-L is the language. Of course, this has been going on for awhile. http://discuss.fogcreek.com/j

When I was reading this I was wondering how is this any different than a TV station showing up with a film crew? They're recording audio the same as the guy with his cell phone. In the end, it's all about intimidation by the Boston Police.

I think everyone would agree that getting a truly clean PC would be nice. The problem with Best Buy's approach is the pre-optimizing of the PC first, and having only that version available. IMO, it's counter to the way they built their repu

Great article, and it really lowers my opinion of Best Buy. I couldn't help but think of the auto rustproofing sales pitch when buying a new car. Another benefit to the article, I think the bottom section listing programs to "optimize" the

Not really. I have several parked there. If it isn't an obvious mistyped domain, or had a previous live site, you will not get any traffic, and as such, no money. I have several domains parked, but only one (a closed site) generates any inc

Another question that I have not seen addressed is why is the video a mirror-image, If you notice the name tags in the video they are reversed.

Though SEO generally does not get a lot of respect here on HN, the article does contain some good observations about where search is heading.

You need to understand that things change in deals. On Friday you could have reported GM was closing down Saab and it would have been accurate, but on Sunday it was GM had received more inquiries on Saab and a deal may still be made. Just b

"While I like the Einstein branding very much, it seems that I will have to get rid of it as soon as I get any serious traction." It'd be better to get rid of it now, or be prepared to receive a letter demanding a payment of some X dollars.

Interestingly enough, it was just yesterday I was reading an article on Robert Gates reviewing the military senior mentor program. http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/2009-12-16-gates-mento...

I agree. My first thought when reading the article was "WTF? No encryption?". Would be interested in learning more about the company that makes these, and how something so obvious was not done.

You actually have to look at Microsoft as part victim here. The company at fault is the subcontractor, and Microsoft handled it quickly and appropriately once notified of the issue. Plurk could have handled this differently from the start,

You've got to know where the review takes place as well. I'd be fairly confident it remained in China and not the U.S., and this is just another example of what may happen when doing business in China. I know that the cool thing to do is vi

The article is not about content scraping, it's about mass generation of low quality content. Read the Wired article they linked and it will open your eyes. http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_demandmedia/all/1 (Of course, the demise

I agree. The original site was better in my opinion. The other site that inspired you is a nightmare to view. Design is as much about function as it is style.

My impression is that Arrington realized how bad Fusion Garage was and why there was discussion of a new company being formed. He probably just thought they could get the product out and then deal with the issues, not realizing the backstab

I'm still waiting to see an Apple response to this. It would seem to have an impact on buying video through iTunes.

I've often felt that if you would remove health insurance from the employer-employee equation completely it'd be a financial boon for business. How many more employees could be hired, how much more could be put into product development, etc
