This is more a commentary on the inefficiency of his distributor than it is a commentary on newspapers themselves. It's not like it takes a month to get other things into a newspaper (since by definition 99% of stuff in the newspaper was w

Unless this guy doesn't have any Credit Cards or specialty cards (Grocery, Gas, etc...) I think he's probably already in the position that he's scared Facebook will put him in. It's just not being run by Facebook. Really what he's doing is

How's that? I use Paint.NET when I'm on the road to edit .psd files and it works fine. Actionscript can be written in a text editor if you so desire. Dreamweaver's html and I couldn't even list how many third part pdf editors are out the

It also ignores the fact that there are programs that allow users to receive unlimited texts already in the app store (TextNow being the one that springs to mind but there are tons). If that were the main reason to reject Google Voice you'

It's unquestionably dishonest but I suspect it will make for an interesting court case as Gizmodo tries to claim the person who sold it is a "source" and hence they should have a right to anonymity. I don't think it holds up but it's up fo

I don't buy that. Your whole argument is based around assets being worth enough to mitigate risk and they simply aren't. Taking the hot dog stand for example they're going to spend most of their money on merchandise and rent which aren't

Accredited investors aren't asking for this change. The participation of private investors (of any net worth) in regular equities was a non-factor in current financial troubles, or indeed any financial troubles of recent decades. Are you

I'm sorry but you're just wrong here. This is the first link that comes up on Google when you search for "Small Business Loan": http://www.merchantloans.com/ . The first item listed under that heading is "Start/buy a business or franchise

A couple things. First the OLPC is rugged while the iPad is decidedly not. Second those few steps you speak of are pretty big. $250 to $499 doesn't seem like that much until you consider the yearly income in these places... Uruguay: $4,500

I'm sure that company will too but on a larger scale I think Banks win. Angel Investors compete with small business loans and generally win since small business loans require you start paying them back right away where as angel investors j

It probably is a cheap way to get points but I (as someone who has never gotten points off it) don't mind that. There are certain items that are of such immense value that I think it's ok that they get submitted over and over again. The w

Given the healthy options didn't exist up until a few years ago I'd call that moving towards healthier menu items. Of course they're going to try to appeal to already existing audience that wants junk food but in the end we've gone from "n

I'm not sure I agree with that. I think the fast food industry gives a false impression because they started out with fattening food. But all the current fast food places were founded a relatively short time ago (McDonalds: '55, Burger Kin

This article seems stupid to me. He seems to be saying procrastination is caused by a fixation on the weekend but he goes on to say that can't be fixed (Under "An Alternative to the Week?"). Then he lists ways to fix the thing he just admi

And I promise a million dollars to everyone who up votes this comment...doesn't mean I can actually do it. All this article says is the CEO of the company doesn't think Apple will shut them down but it notably stops short of saying they've

I can see your comments in the context you put them in here but keep in mind that there's an overall discussion which was a reply to the original comment which accused the article of "spin" and attributed it in a derogatory manner to the ar

Fair enough. Though I think the point still stands which is that most would be choosing whether a person far richer than themselves should pay a chunk of their money and more people would be willing to do that.

The source is the U.S. budget itself and that's not hard to verify (harder than it should be but still). The categories again could be verified simply by looking at the budget yourself. Any information could be untrustworthy and every auth

How is that statement rhetoric or hyperbole (which are both defined by their use of exaggeration)? Is there anyone (Republican or Democrat) who believes we'll be able to pay off the nation's debt in this generation?

Maybe. But this deals with federal taxes and 47% of the country doesn't pay federal taxes ( http://bit.ly/dBESEf ). Plus these are averages meaning of the 53% of those who pay federal taxes a good portion of them pay less than that while

I don't really see any opinion here. It's really just a statement of facts. Facts can be twisted to support an opinion but if that's the case you'd be better off pointing out where that happened not attacking the beliefs of the organizati

I don't agree with the conclusion here. If you're using MonoTouch you should panic. You should be looking at backup plans and asking yourself whether you can use web apps. Because even if Apple decides not to drop the bomb today they migh
