Zuck is a horrible example of a guy that doesn't need to impress anyone. He doesn't wear suits for us, he wears suits for the investment bankers. I don't dress better for a lot of reasons but mostly because it doesn't matter. Charitably, I

It seems like they could have done a lot more damage than just serving browser malware. How many mysql installs could they have rooted?

As others have said, Detroit is a scary place. But I would much rather live in Detroit than the Valley. The "risk takers" of the Valley have nothing on living and playing in Detroit. The complete societal collapse of Detroit has provided am

The Tea Party is a creation of FreedomWorks, formerly Citizens for a Sound Economy. It's little more than a rebranding of the loony bin portion of the Republican party.

To be fair, it almost always is SQL and ajax is a decent way to hide unavoidable performance problems when everything else fails. Point taken though.

The court library allowed free access. He did the equivalent of revisiting the grocery store's free sample kiosk over and over again. The FBI knew he did it and could prove it. You think they're going to shy away from an easy conviction aft

Netflix is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They don't control the content (the studios) and they don't control the distribution infrastructure (Amazon). They have a large subscriber base but it's just been shown that that might be fl

According to Wikipedia, CMU currently has an endowment of $815m so rather huge donation. I was actually surprised by this. For some reason I thought CMU had one of those endowments where $250m gets a urinal named after you.

From what I can tell, Apple didn't get its license from Lodsys. It's possible that Lodsys doesn't even know what Apple's license consists of, and thus the requests for discovery. I think it looks like Webvention screwed Lodsys over, selling

Oh, it's way worse than the late round VC's and the 5000 employees. All those small businesses don't get their share of the groupons immediately. When it implodes, and I think it will, thousands of small businesses will have the unenviable

It's pretty easy to switch away from Square if you find a better deal elsewhere. Not like there's a big capital commitment to get started with square that might go wasted.
