I wonder how they are ensuring that the searches I do are completely anonymized. I understand that that they do not store IP address/cookie/etc, but often by just looking at as little as a few searches you can zero down on the person in que

I work for Citrix (the company behind GTM) though in another team, and we use it internally and it works beautifully for very large All Hands Meetings too. Not shilling my company, but I really like GTM.

I had asked this on Onstartup Answers today. I got a couple of strategic answers to this. Wanted something more tactical like, doing these couple of things in your situation can be useful? Or such a marketing approach might work?

I think in the Wordperfect biography by the ex-CEO clearly shows that they had faltered in their execution. They just did not have the same vision which Microsoft had. Each of these above mentioned companies were behemoths in their own fiel

Windows would have won even without this "extortion". They had played brilliantly with IBM in 1980's and realised the importance of GUI. Everything else which was "illegal" definitely helped their cause but none was enough to block the Wind

One of your best interviews. Actually now that I have finished listening to the whole interview, the Steve Jobs part was only one of the highlights. The rest was amazing too.

"And to be honest this is just chit-chat. Yes I love to listen Paul Graham talk on stuff but none of the interviews are actually ground-breaking or great, it's just good time." Calling the interviews chit-chat is nothing short of demeaning

I agree that programming in lower language like C (and Objective C to some extent) makes you a better programmer, since you are figuring out the nuts and bolts of a computer. But the other part about only C# programs being CPU/memory hogs i

Microsoft is definitely not looking at this short term. When they talk about a billion devices they are talking about being everything to everybody. So my guess would be that they would want my mom and everyone else all to use it. The other
