I disagree. In Switzerland they have some of the best public transport in the world and I still tend to chose car fairly often. Public transport has the advantage that you can do something (e.g. watch movies, read books, etc.) while trave

Well, the good thing about it is maybe this will force a "Silicon Valley" to finally appear in Europe where the odds aren't stacked so badly against the little guy.

Surely there must be a way to simply ignore the lawsuit the way OJ Simpson ignored his civil lawsuit [1]. [1] Well, he had to move, but the point is he didn't pay the people who sued him a dime. This is what I would want to do; make sure

Gimp. If that didn't exist for free maybe someone would have created a product by now that actually competes with photoshop. Of course I can't prove this, but I'll offer the app store as supporting evidence. Look at all the photo editi

In the short term, but the free clone only exists from the innovation of indie developer. If he is put out of business then all the things he would have made that helped everyone even more probably wont be realized. It's not so simple, eve

Kagan's mistake here wasn't that it was offensive. I don't think there was a rational reason for anyone besides his ex-girlfriends to get offended about this and there's no point in bothering with people who look for reasons to be offended

I appreciate that I'm an edge case, but I'm not the only person who behaves this way. As far as your other info, thanks for your help. I do, however, already know all this. Believe me. Syncing to your video is a very hit and miss process.

It's an exaggeration, but the difference between getting a "winning" ticket in the freak accident lottery in Europe is worlds apart from the same thing happening in the US. In Europe you might lose your business. In the US you'll probably

Spot on post. I think the problem here is that big media sees its customers as a bunch of criminals who will only pay when forced to.

The issue is that circles need configuration themselves. They serve two purposes: targeted sending and receiving from people. The receiving bit needs the ability to add filtering. Facebook has this same issue. I want to get updates from

wtf man, this post is full of nonsense and bizarre assumptions. Circles aren't for stereotyping people! No one has groups called "Blacks", "People who are intolerant of other people's cultures" or "the Dutch" (why would a racist follow pe

This person's post was bizarre and potentially offensive. They're basically saying that people are using circles to stereotype (wtf!).

This post is nonsense. You don't understand just how bad the American healthcare system is. Of course a medical emergency is going to set you back, the difference is it won't destroy your finances for the rest of your life .

They can change course faster but once the course is known you can get a long way by simply throwing more people at it. Big corps can do this, one man shows cannot.

Good post. I found the author of the post was overly sensitive. He wasn't calling her a bitch or all women bitches, just some random stranger. A pretty pointless and immature thing to put in a slide show to be sure, but sexist? The gu
