Very sad news indeed. I hope the passing of a co-founder doesn't result in the passing of the project as well.

Failure in this context likely means "is not attracting large swathes of Facebook users" though frankly I think that's but one measure of the success of a social networking website.

You would have a point there, except that the zoom button, as I believe it's called, behaves differently in different applications. An example, in some browsers clicking zoom will zoom to the page width, however in iTunes clicking zoom s

I disagree, because taking up the whole screen is what many people expect said button to do.

If someone could get her to leave with them without her making a fuss, I'd suspect someone she already knows. Assuming she did leave with someone.

I don't think it's so much that people believe corporations have a legal obligation to seize all opportunities for profit, I think it's that many corporations have been behaving in ways that the majority of the population believes is, or sh

If it wasn't for the specific wording in the ToS allowing them to sell your info to marketers, I would be happy giving them that benefit of the doubt.

No no, I think you misunderstand my point. It's the suits job , nay legal obligation in the case of a publicly held company, to maximize profits. More and more frequently we're seeing profits take precedence over privacy and customers, an

This sounds like the kind of thing that some MBA came up with; Suit: "And in the Terms of Service, add some note so that we can use their personal info for marketing." Cubicle-ee: "That's a little sleezy and sounds like it may backfire.." S

Re double-tap to zoom, nobody mentioned that I'd lose features when I upgraded, I honestly was starting to think I'd imagined that feature. It certainly doesn't behave like I remember it doing. I'm having the opposite reaction as well, like

It's not like he decrypted emails and published them, he republished emails from a publicly accessible mailing list. What's all the huffing and puffing about? Sounds like a lot of smoke and no fire, topped off with a heaping helping of hypo

First, I vote to change the title to include a hint that they're asking for donations. I admire what they're doing, and I think they should be proud of how far they've come, but I also think that Diaspora should continue by community involv

"Well if ICE can do that, why can't we?" Someone should head down to their local branch of the Occupy Wall Street gathering to see if they can convince some people to add this to their list of grievances.

The problem, at least in Canada, isn't that the CRTC is bad at math, it's that almost all of the people making decisions used to be executives for the ISP and or Telecoms industry.

One would think it would be common sense to double check recurring charges to a canceled card with the account holder. Then again, when have financial institutions ever followed common sense..

Local? Just local? I'd be as noisy about it as I could, and I would have informed the people who's info had been compromised as to just what the bank said when you offered them a list of compromised accounts. Wouldn't you want to be inform

I'm curious, if notifying them instead of exploiting the bug doesn't qualify as 'kind', then what do you call it? As far as im concerned that's being bloody gracious and generous.

When a non-customer does you the courtesy of pointing out serious flaws in your system, you do not ask them to detail it publicly via twitter. Nor is it a good idea to make them jump through hoops. You know what method of disclosure doesn't

Protip from personal experience: If your method of identifying someone at distance relies on recognizing the gait of a blurry outline of a person, you may need glasses.

One can't help but wonder... Did they just get that idea from us? "Everyone thinks we track users" "But we don't!" "...Well, we're already getting the PR flak for it, maybe we should?"

To add, it's commendable that he tracked down the bug himself, at least I think so. Many people would throw their hands up in the air and walk away with a sour disposition, but props to this guy for working it out to the end.

By doing a fetch first, and a merge in a separate operation, you're at least presenting yourself with an opportunity to check the code that you are merging. With `git pull`, it is all done in one operation. Of course, if you've already revi

I do notice the growing complexity in the systems around me, I just wish more people would present solutions instead of just gawking at problems. Pointing your finger and making noise will draw attention to the issue, but isn't likely to fi
