Is it really that hard to read like, the very next sentence on the page where he explains exactly what he means? "When you use a web app today, you usually connect to its developers' servers. This is backwards, and leaves them in

I'm glad the tech industry has been able to come together in a defense for weev that they couldn't seem to for Aaron Swartz.

So Newsweek, returning to print newsstands after several years, runs with a cover story that is debunked on the internet in a matter of hours? Is this not a perfect metaphor for the print journalism industry? Can we bet on when Print Newsw

Here's a good roundup on Reddit about how Dorian Sakamoto likely isn't Satoshi Nakamoto: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zpuer/the_newsweek... Given all this, it's incredible New

Uh, how is this in any way a Nash equilibrium? And the rise of the pervading surveillance state has little to do with the perceived value of the data collected.

More to the point are the true positives even that impressive? People have been predicting the rise of China and the ascendency of drone warfare for decades.

Yet another example of gendered criticism of Mayer. How often do male CEOs get compared to inexperienced, hopeless Republican politicans? Just a coincidence I'm sure.

Yeah I guess this is why app stores never took off, with their Draconian 30%-off-the-top fee model.

The conditional on Canadian funding thing is killer. There is so little VC in Canada.

Talking computers, ubiquitous tablets, massive electronic knowledge store all seem pretty Enterprise-y to me. Beyond that, the Borg definitely make for good cinema. Lots of wrong in that post ;)

My guess is, [expected revenue per user] * [expected number of Windows Mobile users] - [cost to build a decent YouTube app] is a negative number.

Didn't Reddit make a big show of banning doxxing a while back? Super effective. There should be multiple lawsuits here.

Guaranteeing the residual value of a Mercedes S Class seems like a huge, huge gamble to me. Given the relative technological rate of change for electric cars vs internal combustion engines, doesn't this have the potential to be a huge fina

This doesn't seem so clear-cut to me. Some quick and dirty calculations using 2012 data: Yahoo: ~$280K profit per employee. Google: ~$290K profit per employee (not including Motorola Mobility . Microsoft: ~$180k profit per employee. Apple:

Wow, so "threatened legal action to coerce illegal activity" is "offering an agreement" now? This email is appalling.

From what I understand, India has a fairly high import tax on electronics. FWIW, it looks like the 16 iPhone 5 retails there for ~$850.
