Seems like a case of muckraking to me. I have several friends at Facebook and they all say that Facebook takes abuse very seriously. You can be disciplined (up to and including termination) for calling something gay, and similar. Perhaps at

I would say that mobile browsing is supplementing desktop usage (not replacing it). I just don't see how you could replace the experience of a large 21" monitor, multi-core high powered processor, and a large quantity of ram on a form facto

My company (not a startup but a software company) is moving from Sunnyvale near Moffett field to Palo Alto on Page Mill road. We are doing this because google is eating up all the real-estate in mountain view and sunnyvale. We used to be lo
