Over a billion mobile only users will likely come online in emerging markets over the next ten years. Many of those will be in India, where RIM is actually growing like crazy. I anticipate Windows on Nokia will be a serious player, and Andr

Neither of those business models explicitly condones piracy. YouTube and Flickr also reward users for popular content. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, and it's entirely legal - as long as you comply with DMCA and don't knowingl

You should never lie to a border agent about whether you or your friend can decrypt a device. You can decline to answer any question, and you do NOT have to provide passwords or keys. Only a judge can compell you to decrypt your drive. That

This is an example of the chilling effect you get when you hold service providers liable for users' behavior. Are there any other examples of this post Megaupload?

Minimalism is a just a word which could have many contexts. Having a minimal number of possessions is minimalism. Having a sparsely decorated penthouse overlooking Central Park is minimalism. A black canvas on a white wall is minimalism. Li

Indeed. Self-righteous, ill-humored, unconsidered, and mean. Hopefully it's just a phase.

Anyone else confused by Microsoft slithering their way into this press release? I can imagine they find this to be a PR coup, and worked very hard to be a "part" of the announcement - perhaps even paying their way in. I find it ... "classle

Many folks would be happy to allow their photos to be used just for "exposure" or even for fun. Likewise many writers would happily allow their writing to be published for free. This is the case for both aspiring professionals and amateurs

The 21st amendment "overrides" the 18th amendment not because it comes later, but because it specifically repeals the 18th amendment: "The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed." If ther

In case you haven't watched the video, this article completely misrepresents what actually happened. The author takes things a bit too literally, and lacks a sense of humor and sarcasm. It's pretty clear the presenter intended to reveal his

While I'm sure others can address all of the many advantages of git, it's one of those things you don't realize how much you "need" it until you have it, then you take its power for granted until you are stuck using svn. Think iPad, running

This is a great point. Seems even legally questionable to make people bid against "fake" money although I'm not sure what law is being violated. Is it legal as the seller in an auction to give out money to certain bidders, with the obvious

Given that most equity is worth nothing in the end I don't think you're correct. The beautiful thing about equity is that its future value can not be determined and it's not possible to limit the upside fairly. If employers start putting a

I think this is illustrative of a fundamental difference in philosophy between employment in the USA versus elsewhere, and one which favors economic growth and innovation over social stability. Requiring cause to fire someone is business-ho

Of course I understand the sentiment that everyone wants their site to look fully custom and not like it came from any particular framework, but it's hard to resist the irony that the first thing they have to say is "Hardly looks like a ‘Bo

Apple would not exist had Jobs not had the insight to turn Wozniak's hobby into a marketable product. Indeed he had much help to grow the company, but that help is a commodity far easier to find than a man like Jobs who could spy potential

I agree overcoming "approach anxiety" is key to just about any goal that requires someone else to be attracted to you in one way or another - dating, investing, friendship, ordering a drink in a crowded bar, .... However, the key to ultimat

Precisely. While I'm sure Steve communicated with Cook the day before he died (he knew he was dying - the PA police had been notified), and I don't doubt he expressed his last ideas for the future of Apple, I'm sure he was far more concerne

The lesson to be learned here is to make things happen - to find a way from A to B - to not take no for an answer. It is not that breaking the rules is a good thing, only that sometimes it is acceptable.
