People still believe in a benevolent google after the App Engine scandal? Let me ask you something; what would Google have to do before you finally believe they're just a publicly traded company?

Wow, wtff? I don't understand how people can get so up in arms about Apple fanboys so long as google has fanboys like this. Are you serious or trolling? I would expect if someone had such an ignorant/naive opinion they would at least be s

This is largely an entrepreneurial site, so tell me: if you tried a concept and it failed, then you repackaged and tried again with another failure (redo this step multiple times as necessary), then saw someone else alter your concept and

Out of their comfort zone? They're just trying "full pc in tablet form" yet again.

I don't think you're the only one. How many times has the "computer in tablet form" been tried now? How many more will it have to fail before MS realize they have to make a change. The complete lack of creativity from that company can be

>That seems like a pretty fair sales pitch to me. Except we've already tried that. With pretty much every tablet that was ever made before the iPad. How many times are people going to go "but wait, mine is... a whole computer!" before

It's hard to imagine this being the case. When I think of "has way too much money" I think of big corporate fat cats. Never small business owners. I don't know anyone personally who sees small business as hated rich either. Perhaps this

Big German businesses. I suspect that pulls in many of the politicians in as well. Of course most of the people hate it, it doesn't help them at all and their tax money is financing it.

Well, the country could just say no but once the country has said yes (probably after some very one-sided negotiation) the bank no longer has a choice. That is the case here: have American customers? Then you have to comply with the US

I'll tell you what: since it's so easy, why don't you make a list of 100% guaranteed ways to make money on the internet. Lord knows I'd rather be in my own business than working for a huge corporation.

>There is a population of U.S. citizens who live overseas and may never have paid U.S. taxes on their non-U.S. earnings and non-U.S. accounts. This really pisses me off. If I don't live in the US why on earth would I pay taxes on my

Your facts are a misrepresentation. There have been many american expats for a long time. We usually keep our citizenship because there was no need to give it up. Having to file taxes to the US every year is annoying but not enough to re

What a policy? What would you do with people who get fired? It's pretty rare to lose your job at one place and pick up a new one the same day. How are they going to finance their life until they find a new job? In other countries where e

That would be nice! Though I'm a bit skeptical. Big business has most of the tools at the moment and their trend is to want to get more and pay less (i.e. more hours for less pay).

Lucas ever had decency? The only reason his movies were ever popular is because he wasn't allowed to do anything he wanted.

Instead of making new languages to run in the browser, why not make an assembly language for the browser and then we can use what ever language we like and compile to that? It's a pain to develop in one language and then have to use JS. Of

Good list. There is also interesting work that could be done starting where Strongtalk and/or Self left off (well, Strongtalk is still alive afaik but progressing slowly). Image based programming is very different than "cult of the dead"

IMO going back to return statements for error detection is to throw away years of advancement. The problem with what you're describing is now every call has to be tested for errors because only the call-site has a chance to do this. Contra

Google is the company that claimed to pull out of China and didn't until they got hacked. They're also the company that just pulled a particularly sneaky bait-n-switch on it's paying customer base. Amazon is no angel but neither is Goog

I agree with what you're saying. That was just a nitpick. My main point was simply that there is more to be tried with capitalism. By all means, different places should try different things so hopefully all systems can come out better in
