   Great article. Keen to see how it applies to Xero and Shopify. I'll bet they are donkeys too.

   I sort of agree. Clearly they have some good technical folks. But based on the numbers and the Starbucks deal their management appear to have limited experience in strategy and how to build business cases. So even though the "team&quot

   I love how coke essentially crowdsourced their bottle design. Silly me thinking crowdsourcing was some sort of "disruptive innovation".

   I know it's a bit OT as these companies are more established, but what listed stocks show some promise in BioTech that are worth watching? (Both big and small)

   I'm reminded by a simple but powerful message one of my professors delivered to my MBA class a few years ago. "You can't just look for a gap in the market. You also need to verify there's a market in the gap." Home

    I gave Twitter two solid tries (ie spent time finding people to follow, downloaded the mobile apps,installed desktop apps too), once in 2010 for 3 months, and again over 2011-2013. I'm a technical business person and really believe tha

    I'm not the biggest fan of ISPs but that comment isn't entirely fair on them. In Australia the speed of light actually matters for the distances light needs to travel - this is probably the same for mid-west towns not near an AWS

    it's just a matter of time before the open source platforms add in the features required for FAA etc approvals. All the other components (aside from flight controllers and chassis) are already OEM hobby items anyway, just photographed

    Agree. And a standard is already emerging for quadcopters with OpenPilot's CC3D platform. That's already pretty solid and has a very healthy release rate / dev community around it.

    Neat concept, but they didn't get my money. I assumed they would be cheap (per their name), but quickly realised that my local Aldi is cheaper. Furthermore, I shave daily and use disposable razors but simply don't need them at the

    This is great news for Spotify, but a bit frustrating for me and I am sure plenty of others as individual investors. So many great companies I am passionate about are just too hard to invest in before they go public. And you're in way

    Interestingly one could say the same about salesforce.com. What positive things have they contributed to Heroku, beyond hoping their developer community would start making apps for salesforce.com overnight (which they didn't). And do m

    I've been flying RC planes for years, and have seen many really bad injuries because people don't consider a plastic propeller spinning at a few thousand RPM "dangerous". Most people don't think of drones (quad copt

    Actually I don't think they do - to the best of my knowledge Office 365 didn't have any downtime as a result of this outage. And Yammer stayed up, so I assume they haven't yet migrated from AWS...

    Opencart? It's a very neat ecommerce solution but could still benefit from a lot more development. Eg proper eBay integration, improved reporting, responsive design...

    For those more technical than I, is there actually any benefit in having the 1000Mbps NIC on a board with still a relatively slow processor? I fear the processor can't handle anywhere near that amount of throughout that NIC could suppo

    I really want to use Ubuntu for personal use, but still really miss it not having MS Office natively available. I know this comment may seem lame here on HN but I just don't have the time to master OpenOffice or figure out the best way

    I lost count of the times they mentioned Amazon or AWS in this article. This is going to be exciting, Microsoft are really gunning for them. Interestingly it looked like the price comparison tables were based on on-demand pricing. Does azur
