As a result of the AOL Time Warner merger in 2001, the FCC ordered AOL to open up its instant messagning protocol to stop blocking applications like Trillian and Adium at the time from creating an interoperable method. In 2001, AOL represen

This stuff gets me really excited for private space technology. The future is bleak for the anti-democratic states if there's eyes in the sky for everyone, and global connectivity.

The thing with Quirky is that they're still gatekeepers. I've got to go through some pretty significant game mechanics. What would be useful is self-serve small run manufacturing. Or a lendingtree.com model for manufacturing, where you have

Still need to crack the final step-- how does a hobbyist make an accessory and get it to mass production. Kickstarter is one way, but I'm eager for JIT Manufacturing... or something.

The FBI has my FBI file and only the FBI file. By this logic, I shouldn't FOIA for my FBI file because someone could break into my house and steal it. Also, I carry a lot more sensitive information on my phone than the cellphone towers it t

I don't understand the outrage on this-- your wireless carrier probably has an identical file somewhere as well. At least you have a copy of it. My suggestion: for the next YC application, invent a way for people to sell this data back to m

The way I read it, SHE (Ms. Lukas, a woman and the author of the post) certainly is. See: "Men have been hit harder by this recession because they tend to work in fields like construction, manufacturing and trucking, which are disproportion

So because there are more unemployed single or married men who have less education than single women with education the wage gap is closed? This is nonsensical. The most laughable part of this is when they just throw out that single women m

And the link is to Caffeine-- Google's new indexing system. It seems really crazy. Like saying: "Facebook's servers are running blazingly fast PHP code and they're not even using Android, Google's operating system for cheap hardware."

I remember when Apple released FaceTime, they said it'd be an open industry standard. See: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/07/apple_announce... and http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177819/Jobs_has_loft... Seems strikin

Wow, sexist much? I've met Hillary a couple times now. She's a woman. She's also quite brilliant. Check out the umbrella she invented: http://www.motherboard.tv/2010/4/20/to-end-the-cheap-umbrell...

For all the money, resources and engineering talent that Microsoft has, you'd think they wouldn't need to do this, though. That's what's baffling to me. Call Google the market leader all you want, but let's not forget that Microsoft's marke

I really don't like this co-branding the Times has been doing for awhile. This is actually a ReadWriteWeb article, not an article written by Times staff, and not one that goes through the Times' fact-checking process or anything else. Here'

I'm just really uncomfortable with a "chrome version" of the New York Times. How many of us would be freaking out if it was "The New York Times: Internet Explorer Version" I don't want versions of the web. That's the whole point of the web.

This may get the 2010 award for most sensational headline. In no way does the article make the case that Apple finds Christianity offensive. Sensational blogging at its finest.
