If IPR for screen-rotation ends up with nullifying the patent, can organizations like EFF start doing that pro-actively for other ridiculous patents like One-Click-Buy and Swipe-to-Unlock? Or does the patent-holder have to be proven as a tr

Precisely my feelings. #UsesLulu would be all I would've wanted to know about someone to realize it wouldn't work out. Similar to girls who drive SUVs and support Drill-Baby-Drill. Big red flags.

Wow, it's like everything that I used to fear about the dating world put into one shiny app. Had this been out years ago when I was single, it would've definitely given me a lot of anxiety. Having been happily married for 5 years, all I can

I've signed up for Aereo when it comes to Tampa. We currently have Netflix, HuluPlus, and often buy movies on Amazon Instant. $8 Aereo + $8 Netflix + $8 Hulu = $24. Add in $4/movie on Amazon for one/two movies a weekend and you can spend le

Since I can't reply to you in the other comment: Like I said, it was an error on our part. I don't disagree that at all. I have absolutely no qualms in paying what I owed. But I wouldn't have paid a dollar over the amount owed if they had a

The penalty is in interest on the taxes. We had an incorrect entry in our 2010 return and had to pay about 12% in addition to the deficient amount. That would've been zero if they just verified it in 2011 and told us that there was an error

That was my overall point. Fairness is manmade. We decide what's fair and not and certainly your concept is different from mine. Nature doesn't care. Markets don't care. Systems don't care. All we can do as humans is impose our view of fair

Almost everything you listed can be bought for under $1000 total and others rented for very little cost. That does not mean they're sharing the wealth. That just means economies of scale and planned obsolescence works and makes things cheap

If the candidate said all of the above instead of just thinking it within their head, I would award them additional points. When I'm interviewing someone, I care about how they think and process instead of what they know.
