Is it not a compromise of your journalistic integrity to alter your published opinions because a partner/parent company is afraid that the truth makes them look bad?

I love seeing stuff like this published.. Even though this one release may not be representative of the company as a whole, at least it gives us some reason to believe in TechCrunch's journalistic integrity.

Voted. This is a completely separate issue from discussions about illegal immigration or border security. Hopefully our elected officials are able to look past the "immigration" stigma and vote based on the bill's contents. And hopefully no

Absolutely unacceptable. I was planning on upgrading from free to 100GB literally today but this changes my mind. How can I trust that Dropbox cares about the safety of my data when they make such amateur security mistakes in their mobile a

Nothing to see here. Hopefully this is just setting the stage for what's about to be released, but nothing in this first batch is in any way shocking or concerning.

Before my most recent job search (~4 mo. ago) I finally invested the time and effort to break free of Word docs and switch to LaTeX. Honestly, I spent about a week relearning the basic syntax (it's been years) and learning how to do much mo

But the reason they are so popular and have a large die-hard fan base is that they've done it this way since the beginning. The band recently announced that 2011 will be the first year in their history that no major tour is scheduled. Sure,

Hasn't he in fact disobeyed the orders of his superior officers by leaking the cables (which were marked "CONFIDENTIAL")? There are a few reasons why disobeying such an order would be acceptable, but I doubt the military will take it easy o

In the guided tour and blog post, it says that the photos displayed at the top of your "new profile" are "recently tagged photos". Most of the ones that keep showing up for me are very old. Is everybody else experiencing that? It also seems

Based on the docs, it appears that this also allows you to upload segments of files without knowing the final number of segments or the final file size. This will be pretty damn useful for piping the output of some process generating a larg

I'm in 100% agreement with this article. My company has sold more and more Facebook app / custom tab work lately, and it amounts to nothing but headaches. Most clients simply refuse to understand that so many of the problems encountered are

We have been asking AWS for this feature for many months now. CloudFront's minimum TTL of 1hr is not quick enough when you've got a problem with a cached file on a high-traffic site. Great to see it finally released!

ah, you are correct, I saw this bit in the release note earlier and then assumed that Cldwalker was referring to the same issue. So, setting rvm_project_rvmrc=0 will still execute RVM's cd script, but it will skip the part that loads an rvm

How many of these "running FFMPEG yourself is so much cheaper than XX service! XX is a ripoff" posts are we going to see? If you pay for a good transcoding service, you're not just paying for being able to run FFMPEG. That's the easy part.
