I think they spent 8.5 billion dollars for the skype brand. It also reduces competition. In the article it sounds like Microsoft Research has a good amount of tech of their own. I almost wonder if Microsoft Research has the next big thin

I wonder how effective google is filtering spam IM requests?

I wonder if that would actually work against them. Assuming the government has some system that is reading all emails sent to country x, they may specifically sniff emails that match a certain signature... such as one that was encrypted.

Maybe its possible to use that to the networks advantage? If manipulating the data means you need to provide additional computation power/storage... maybe its possible to find a balance?

my god, you may have inadvertently had a great idea. There's a lot of cool things that could open up. For instance, i believe right now it is not kosher to scrape google results. However an open source distributed engine would be totally

sorry I have only a little value to add... but Toscanini's is some of the best ice cream you can get in Boston.

My last company made that tool. Their business model was setup around providing custom implementations. (The tool will get you 90% of the way there, they consulted the other 10%)

I was under the impression the LHC was down until 2012 while some changes were being made.

I wonder if its as much trying to improve internal combustion as someone made an advancement in lasers, and is applying it to a practical purpose?

Prediction: Groupon will eventually become old news, and irrelevant. A "Copy-Cat" will focus on developing a customer base consisting of quality niche customers, and become the dominate player.

I think they're actually quite different circumstances (though your point is valid, that a storage company should own their own storage solution). Yahoo never thought of themselves as a search company. I think they considered search to be

I was to be under the impression a great deal of Reddits issues were linked to Amazon.

How do I transfer my coins from one computer to another? I found digging through my application data to find the wallet.dat file is unintuitive.. along those same lines, how many less technical users have lost extremely important data beca

Bitcoin is pretty sweet, but its extremely confusing. I barely understand it, and i'm an extremely technical user. I think people need to work harder on bringing down the complexity.

This is exactly what I was thinking of doing! I was looking at Costa Rica. The one problem, is I can't see this working well with a b2b type business that requires a lot of travelling.

As someone who lives in Boston, Cool site! (its always so frustrating that San Francisco gets all the cool things haha) I while ago I wrote a web app for keeping track of the items in your kitchen. I also wrote a web crawler/search algorit

My first year programming job I made ~50k though I was a contractor, and did a bunch of overtime so it was likely quite a bit more. I think it was pretty good considering I had not graduated college... so I was getting paid to learn. I star

How often do you need something from the menu bar on a web browser? Very rarely is probably the answer. I think Chrome understood this, and optimized their interface around the features most commonly used. Screen real estate is as valuabl

I respect that it works well, but there's a difference between using a style as inspiration, and outright ripping it off. This strikes me more as the later.

I think this is a great direction for Google, but it certainly is not a direction most other companies with equivalent growth can pursue. I think one of the unique aspects of Google, is the type of engineer they pursue.

Self taught programmer here. I would like to think I have at least a bit of knowledge about each of these topics (though definitely not an expertise in most) I would say the one I know the least about is Machine learning, but i'm actively

It's "Cash" for the web. Currently if you want to do business on the web, your options are accept payments via a private entity, and give them some percentage of your revenue, or work for free. This aims to solve that issue. I think it al

This is awesome! I personally can't think of a need for the service, but I'm glad to see Bitcoins being used. I don't care how it materializes, but an open source virtual currency needs to flourish.

This irked me, Google has contributed quite a bit to the open source world.

I had the idea of suggesting to Reddit a while ago that they should start their own currency (i would name it the Karmarian) Reddit is a very large closely nit community, that is world wide. If the internet has a chance of forming its own

Fuck this guy, and everything about him. I can program in Assembly, C, C++, Java, and Lisp fairly competently, but frankly I like C# because I can see results almost as fast as I can imagine them. It has an amazing tool set. Does it real
