It's interesting that my "emotional" reaction is to favor Dropbox to Windows... I like the brand, the entrepreneur in me is naturally inclined to cheer for the startup versus the corporate giant and I've been telling people about Dropbox ma

The guy in the article is using Amsterdam too much as the reason for Appsterdam; in the end the _community_ will make it what it is, whether it's the best city or not won't matter if the community is a success. That being said Amsterdam has

Less expensive? not by much is my bet: Amsterdam is the most expensive city in Holland and one of the more expensive ones in Europe (Scandinavian countries + London may be worse is my estimate). It's also impossible to find housing. As far

There's a lot to like about BitCoin. They "just" need to solve the following: 1. Technical issues (make it more secure) 2. Economic issues (deflation) 3. "Competitor" issues (governments, banks, the powerful status quo)

In the end (1) technical people will find a way around in when they need to, (2) The conspiracy-theory loving will use the "Filter bubble"as an argument for their own ends, and (3) The rest-most people will just not care... I think the more

Nice writeup. Thankfully doesn't have a clear bias like most of these type of comparisons! A powerful Django feature (the admin) is rebutted by citing plugins in Ruby; I think that the fact that it's part of Django really makes a difference

Congrats guys! A side question, how does immigration to the US work for these guys? EB-5 Visa? I hear tons of stories on how hard it is to immigrate to the States, but when Facebook does it for you all of a sudden it is no longer an issue.
