   "I cannot fathom why they continue to overwhelm tech conferences". Because they're on a fishing trip, the catch is devs and the bait is money. Hackathons are the new tech conferences because you have to prove your tech skills to get in.

   If uploading is so hard, then why is Dropbox so successful? I'm on the max plan and I don't have any problems syncing. Sure, it takes a looooong time, but I expect it so I'm ok with it. Make the uploading automatic & out of sight and mo

   Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have an inkling that this friend of mine will soon join the discussion ... Here's my take. The ultimate restaurant answers the following questions (and no more!) ... What's the atmosphere like?

   Privacy has traditionally been taken very seriously in Switzerland due to the Swiss' love of financial privacy. As far as I know it's one of the few countries where the right to privacy is defined in the constitution .

   my favorite was /pepe (grandfather in french) for phpMyAdmin. I remember a few places where /pepe stayed alive for many years after I'd left. Sure, there was a password ... but what good is a password if no one is arround to apply security

    "In the early hours of Dec. 3, 2010, the X-37B became the first U.S. space vehicle to make an autonomous runway landing from orbit." I find this snippet far more interesting than the speculation about what the mission was about. Maybe I don

    Paul, is being accepted in another 'incubator' a black mark? We submitted early this time though.

    I don't get why you'r downvoted. Here's my perfect iPhone: Retina display in the front, eInk in the back. As a bonus you can use eInk to 'skin' your iphone with your favorite art.

    I married my Chinese wife last year & I understand perfectly well that a lot of compromised had to be made by the family just because I'm a Westerner. I own a flat, back home in Europe, but it's not paid off 100% so "that doesn't coun

    I can't say anything about India, but for China that's absolutely not true. Save up for a while & live like a king in China or continue living a shitty middle-class life in the "1st world"? As for focus: I've done more work in 2 days ou

    Funny to see them go. I was headhunted for them a few years ago & decided to play along just because I found their business model 'interesting'. Even though technically interesting (lots of realtime action), it had 'scam' written all ov

    Maybe this time around IT committees simply won't be able to decide which tablets to buy as employees simply bring their own? Same like we use 3G to bypass stupid network filtering?

    At this point we just trust the users & see how it goes. There's a "freshness" to the system that should make places drop off the list.

    I'm glad you like the spirit. I didn't think about it in the terms you outlined. But you're right: the internet used to be awesom. We gotta take it back from the SEO farmers & social media whores. Put some soul back into it & yes, i

    Anyone know what's up with the speed issues? I've been trying to book a room for SXSW for days now & at least from here (CH) the site is unusably slow. Weird since my last experience booking a place in Vienna 5 months ago was great.

    If you're in it for the big exit: run away and don't look back. If you think the work is interesting, consider if working on the problem is worth the pay cut. Treat the offer as a job offer & nothing more.
