They are NOT removing the ability to link to files in your Dropbox. Just the Public folder itself, which is no longer needed since any file can now be shared with a public link. EDIT: And for those of you concerned by any impact on using Dr

I don't know what kind of damage you can cause with this information, but I do think that posting this publicly was pretty unethical. You should have contacted Yahoo and then disclosed the information after. EDIT: And here comes the downvot

A lot of people here are negatively judging this product on the basis that it's from Yahoo. I think that's extremely premature and close-minded. Give it a chance will you? I personally think the iPad app is fantastic. The ability to pull do

That is quite an unfair comparison. Instagram and Facebook are disruptive with respect to their own fields.

This. A lot of people forget that Elon Musk spent a large portion of his own money to fund new ventures from Paypal. Bill Gates is helping many disadvantaged people around the world with the money he earned from Microsoft. I'd also like to

I'm not so sure. I will most likely be wrong, but I really think Facebook has dug in too well to be easily displaced. It's integrated itself into so many different tenets (gaming, marketing for other brands, sharing) that I just can't see i

You're an entrepreneur whose job is to build things for people and you live a comfortable lifestyle.. do you have any idea how many people around this world would kill to be in a position like you? I don't see why anyone (including yourself

Very unfortunate turn of events for Mr. Thompson. I hope for the sake of his health that the media will not hound him too much. No one deserves to get cancer.

YUI 2 was an awful mess but YUI 3 is pretty good. YUI 3 actually came out a while ago (it's at version 3.4 I think). But it's gotten a lot more simpler thanks in part to mimicking jQuery selectors.

I know some incredibly intelligent people who chose not to go to college after high school. But they ended up coming back in their 30's because they realized you needed a degree to move up the hierarchy. Unless you're dealing with a rapidly

I'm astonished that people think the Internet-era is low innovation. It's only been twenty years and we've gotten so much out of it (social networking, location-based services, real-time updates/news, vast pool of information). I don't kno

I think you have a good intent (promoting business for transgender people), but I find your article coming off a bit defensive, especially when you ended with: "I'm playing hard mode. A victory now will be more meaningful. I am Allison Mob

Perhaps you should stop using Apple products as well since Apple is quite heavy on patent litigation.

I don't agree with the premise of this article. It makes it sound like people who don't like this upcoming show don't like to have fun. Personally, I would love to see a show about Silicon Valley, especially one that has a lot of comedy in

This is a sensationalist article that reeks of pre-meditated biases. Yes the Facebook open-graph protocol has helped bring more traffic to Yahoo, but that wasn't an exclusive alliance. In fact nowhere in the Facebook press release does Face

Coding with pencil/paper is in the same league as coding on the whiteboard. It's not nonsense and you know it too. You just deliberately missed the point of his post just so you could brag about being from MIT and all the stuff you worked

I would assume that it probably helps to have other job offers on the side or a current job that pays nearly the same as the job you're interested in for this to work.

I can think of a number of things why it's used: 1) It tests if you're able to think on your feet. Anyone can Google for help/solution/code for a problem, but most people want to know if you can think for yourself and that your first reacti

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the combined size of an image and its complementary CSS file is less than the size of a 129kb CSS file with "CSS3 images", then don't you essentially lose the benefit of reducing server load?

What also puts me off when I'm looking through job postings are the ones where startups are hiring but won't talk about what their product or service is. But it has to be super secret because it's going to disrupt everything!

I didn't downvote (I don't have enough points yet), but I can already see some problems with that article. For one, it's based on newsletters published 20 years ago which he's repeatedly told the media that he did not authorize to use his n
