I fail to see any comparison here. WebRTC is a project building support for things like P2P and Device API support into modern browsers. This is so you could do things such as access a user's video camera through the Device API and establis

It's cool to see log files streamed in real time to your browser but most of the time it scrolls too fast to get any useful information out of it (unless you use regex filters of course). It would be cool to have graphs that show, say, brow

One of the reasons LinkedIn's share price jumped so high from its IPO price of $45 was because of a very low float. There are too few LinkedIn shares trading on the public market. It is not that easy to get your hands on LinkedIn shares rig

The IPO should have probably been priced a little higher. Closer to $70 or $80, given this type of demand. The people that were in on the IPO got a very nice return this morning, provided the stock price stays this high for a little while.

Back in the late 90's and early 00's, I remember discovering a bunch of "internal" AOL sites. Even after posting about them on forums, AOL didn't seem to care much (unless they could be used to steal accounts).

What would stop pirates from querying each other (maybe on some P2P network) for those random bytes? Client A wants the file that Client B has so when Dropbox asks Client A for some random offset, Client A asks Client B in the background an

Take this advice with a grain of salt. I wouldn't take it at all. If you choose to major in CS (I would encourage you to), try your best go to a reputable school. I would say the most reputable ones are most of the engineering programs at t

The biggest advantage to this (other than security) is that you won't need to share I/O or CPU time with other people, resulting in much more consistent and predictable performance across the board. Now, if only they could provide EBS this

The eclipse is cool but it's even cooler that this is costing UStream almost nothing in bandwidth costs (15,000+ viewers) because of RTMFP and peer assisted networking. Kind of like BitTorrent for live video.

If you ever want to take VC/angel money, you will most probably need to spend more to restructure and re-incorporate. The boilerplate that services like LegalZoom are not made for startups. They may be fine for other types of businesses, bu

How do I get a company registered? How much does it cost? I have used Legalzoom once and Harvard Business Review once, to start two companies. They’re both in Delaware (it’s the new hotness or something). It cost me <$400 each time. D
