"flight to LA", "hotel room in New York next weekend", "metallica san jose tickets" etc. will return structured results, in both Google and Bing, soon I feel. Google bought ITA and Bing bought Farecast for the purpose of getting direct acce

Happens to everybody. Take a timeout. In the 12 years of my career, I have taken a total of 3 years off - and I am certain that in the 9 remaining years I achieved more and better things than what I would have had I worked the 12 years stra

McClure dug himself into a hole with his first response. He didn't think two moves ahead. In poker parlance what McClure did was to bet the turn on a semi-bluff not anticipating an all-in shove from his opponent on the river. McClure's post

Conway helps entrepreneurs he is not invested in as much as he helps those he is invested in. You may not know the guy, but those who do will tell you that is a very genuine sentiment.

It is easy for you to make ridiculous accusations or observations, because you don't have to come back here tomorrow and say 'oh, I was wrong'. Since I started following this story I have seen all manner of ridiculous commentary, regardless
