No, they're literally copying Chromium. They're forking the source tree and including it as the rendering engine in their browser. That is a verbatim copy. There's nothing wrong with that, and I think it's a smart move and does not speak an

Like most places, their surrounding culture was a huge influence on their companies. To the point where I'd say these businesses weren't made in New York, they were made by New York. Can’t live with the daily offerings from Banana Republic

The ability to effectively work remotely is entirely determined on a person-by-person basis. And it's clear, especially from the mixed feelings in these comments. People come in all breeds, and I know that some people absolutely cannot get

In my brief scan, most of these designs seem to center around tasteful use of photography; there isn't as much in the way of impressive web design. Good photography undoubtedly improves the visual appeal of a site, but I often find myself i

I believe that instead, the opportunity is to guide US investors to invest in African companies. An organization to vouch for the reputability and asses the risks of these companies to allow for greater, less risky foreign investment. I per

Very interesting. Some people take this to think MIT students have self-image problems, but I don't see that. To me I see this as most students reasonably confident with their own abilities (although feel they could do a bit better academic

Oh absolutely. I had a laundry list of the things that were supported on Apps months after everybody else. We've always been second-class citizens, and now everybody new is required to pay. I hope the trend doesn't continue. There was App E

This is good news, because I feel that Google has always ignored a very legitimate use case of Google Apps -- wanting your own personal Google Account with your own email address. Many people, myself included, want to use all of the persona

Your mention of Google's constant "toe-in-the-water" technique is a very interesting point, and is probably the biggest reason this will never happen. It's really true how non-committal Google is with various projects, and like a research l

I wish this were true because I'm dying for a new laptop, but I haven't seen a single one other than the Air that can compare in specs. Does the X1 Carbon come with 8GB of RAM, a Core i7, and a battery that lasts 6+ hours? Do you know of a

A valid goal, but I think you're misunderstanding your market: in your words, people don't use 2FA because it's hard to use -- not hard to implement. Organizations who have IT teams are fully capable of implementing reasonable APIs like wha

I'd say there should be two different pages: one for end-users, and one for developers. In his defense I'd argue the users of Java are developers, in which case they need to know specifically what it is. For end users who need it installed

Indeed, and it already seemed like this was definitely on their to-do list from the Glass keynote. I don't know how you could build a product like Glass and /not/ do that (other than it perhaps being an extremely difficult problem ;P). More
