Something doesn't add up. 109 roadsters at $109,000 = $11,881,000. So car sales, which are Tesla's main business, only account for a little over half of their reported $20 mil revenue. Something else contributed about $8 million dollars, an

In my dreamworld the changing economics of the news industry, and newspapers in particular, would cause media outlets to spend less space covering extremely low-bar "entertainment" stories, less time regurgitating stories without adding any

"Quality journalism is not cheap, and an industry that gives away its content, is simply cannibalising its ability to produce good reporting," Mr Murdoch said. I quite agree - but what does that have to do with News Corp? Boom boom!

I love the fact that Apple required it be censored because if they typed in an obscene word, they saw an obscene word... Priceless.

Oh I loved LA too for the first few years. It's a great place to live when you're in your twenties with some disposable income and aren't looking for anything too permanent. And yes, it has a bountiful supply of women who would be knockouts

Numbers? I myself like to focus on quality. I can't talk about NY, but having lived in LA for 5+ years I can safely say that it's a horrible place for either sex to seek out any form of lasting relationship. Of course if you love spending y

Ditto, though now I'm thinking of stashing $250 in a drawer or something to hopefully dissuade any burglar for trashing my place trying to find the non-existent hidden cash.

Needs a pinch of salt. From Wikipedia: "The Institution has long been a place of scholarship for high-profile conservatives with government experience. A number of Hoover Institution fellows had connections to or held positions in the Bush

Rubbish. How on earth does a distribution channel limit ones marketing ability? These are completely orthogonal aspects of producing a successful product. Do you think movie studios hope that you'll stumble across their film by looking at t

I think I did that once, then learned not to do it again.

Hey guess what - I'm one of those 91% consumers who bought an Apple computer (a Macbook pro to be precise) this year. Now, guess what OS I'm running? Not OSX that's for sure. I'm also not really sure what DF's aim is here beyond recycling t

The author's rationale of "the law of large numbers" being responsible is awfully suspect, but then it is Techcrunch. More likely Bing users are currently less desensitized to sponsored results than long term users of Google.

Given this statement and others on his blog/podcast, I'd be curious to know what experience Jeff has of interviewing people.

As usual Atwood manages to destroy a valid perspective (be mindful of your code quality) with unnecessary hyperbole. I wouldn't hire anyone who said their own code was the worst they'd seen recently. Whatever points they may win for percept

The irony in announcing your OS will be malware free, on the day that you patch security exploits in the browser that was its genesis, is somewhat delicious.

If you jailbreak your phone you can install any apps from Cydia, the unofficial installer that supports multiple sources of unofficial apps. The problem is that only a very small number of iPhones/iPod Touches are Jailbroken, and you have t

As much as it sucks, I do see the reasoning behind giving apps with internet-content an adult rating. While it's true that Safari, Youtube, and even Mail can be used to access unsavory material the difference is these apps can be restricted
