Expanding your point further, because I agree with you in that the CYA mentality is everywhere. Whenever I see news about something bad happening, inevitably it turns into a blame game. What did someone not do? The case of the mom gettin

On top of that productivity app companies are chasing mobile in order to not get left out in the cold, further exacerbating the PC decline.

I have to admit, the failed attempt is the first thing I thought of. Thanks for including that and helping me understand why it doesn't work as expected.

A postcard sends an expression of how much you value that relationship. The postcard itself represents time spent by you finding a postcard, writing in it and sending it off during your vacation. A picture posted to social media has none o

I don't think this is a matter of making programming easier for people who are not interested in programming - I look at this as a study of how "normal" programming could be made to model how the human mind might think natura

I think the fact that a call is coming from a voip service is not necessarily the problem, the problem is that a voip number can be made extremely easily. Some sort of "non-anonymous" score can be assigned a voip number. Paying v

The majority of their costs come from buying content. In 2014 they spent 70% of their revenue on labels and artists. Fundamentally they have a bad business model. Good on them for ditching Taylor Swift - while she is very popular the fina

Both Spotify and Pandora are losing money on a consistent basis. IMO streaming music is a losing business, and the only way a provider is going to stay in the market is because they have other services that complement the music. I love Spo

Can you elaborate more? Given your requirements any modern tablet should be a suitable fit. I have a 7" Android tablet that basically runs anything my phone can run with the upside that I can watch movies on it.

FYI, there might be spoilers on the wikipedia page. I haven't played the game so I don't know how much they tell you but if you're planning on playing the game I would avoid the wikipedia page for now. (I was expecting a &qu

High level question about virtual cards and the implication of their implementation: 16 digits doesn't seem like a very high number of available cards, especially since at least two of those numbers are reserved (checksum and IIN numb

I think the gambling industry could probably start taking tips from the mobile gaming industry now. Free video-slots that give you "Casino Coins" (CC) that you can redeem for drinks/food. The free games will be very, very bas

If I could get a clone of a job applicant and change their gender, I would want to track them all the way through the hiring process: - Do they hear about the same jobs? Are there differences in their job-seeking networks? - Do they apply

Straight out of http://reddit.com/r/fellowkids . And yup, it's currently the top post there. Weird that MS uses this kind of tone when their other fun tools (e.g. how-old.net) let the product speak for itself.

IANAL. Why does the existence of the AWA allow such things that the FBI is trying to do? The AWA seems to be a very small piece of law, and using it in the way it's being used seems against the spirit of it. It's frustrating e

I interpret "car sharing" as more about keeping utilization up. When you're at work, the car you used to get to work will be off doing something else during the day. When you want to go back home, it could be a completely d
