Ahh. The original criteria of "if there are any companies..." which I replied to is much broader than "young company takes large investment..." As far as the second condition, I'd agree that pushing a venture backed CEO is usually a rec

I scanned the article. Is he saying we're going to speak in regex? I thought we would all sound like the future people on South Park.

Yikes! "Work hard, play hard..", there has to be a company that can do better than that cliche. I agree its got a lot of mileage but gets the point across and is a common catch phrase. Still significantly better than cliches such as "look

Yet another indication of increasing specialization. There is a "this" specialist and a "that" architect, and a "the other" expert. In the future, if we keep up this trend, we will also specialize ourselves into insects. Hyper-specializatio

The Germs logo and PCLinuxOS logo are closer than the srcphp logo and The Germs logo. But given that they are all variations of blue circles, there have to be thousands of companies/organizations (At least) with a variation of the blue circ

Well it appears that they didn't copy it, so if they stole it, they did it well, as I only recognize the similarity of a blue circle, which is pretty generic. I'd say the logo looks more like the Nissan Motor Company logo.

I'd suggest either Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations Or Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Manifesto Both books have ideas which helped to

I wonder if this would have any disruption on implanted devices like pacemakers? And I'm kind of surprised there's no mention of Tesla's legacy on his wireless power transfer experiments. http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_colspr.html

Well, if the theoretical demons were to come out of the hole, they'd either have to be in-part non-corporeal or they'd have to be skinny demons (look how narrow the hole is). Or maybe they were demon mice, able to squeeze through narrow gap

Valve may be great. I don't know, but from what I've read online and heard people talking in RL (and not just from my coworker I mentioned above) I'm inclined to believe that if Valve is great, it is an exception, rather than the rule.

I feel that ebay "lost its soul" when it didn't respond to sellers gaming the feedback system. If you are not familiar with this, sellers would withhold feedback to the buyer until the buyer gave positive feedback to the seller. Now, there
