Anyone have estimates what their revenue or run-rate is?

Amazing piece of software. Somehow still can't figure out how to do the one additional thing I want (above and beyond what I have already sorted out how to do), which is quit the player and re-open it later at the TS of where I left of

No, the stub resolver on Mac OS has extended resolution functionality to offer domain (or even FQDN) level granularity. This is actually a feature we've built into our resolver, but haven't seen in the wild too often. DNSMasq has

Really interesting that Mac OS offers this. Neat.

Dropbox used to use Crocodoc which was just acquired by Box... And now Dropbox doesn't use Crocodoc. And now we learn about LibreOffice... Coincidence? Just pointing it out...

This is surprising. And unfortunate if true and unable to disable. Agree that the proprietary nature of the OS is a concern. An android or OSS OS would be preferred here.

Since it has a BL-4U removable battery, this will be the phone to get for those of you who are privacy conscious. It's unfortunate it has Bluetooth, but at least no Wi-Fi. I would have normally written "privacy paranoid" but

In this situation, the reporter(s) at AllThingsD actually have much more detail (as they have clarified on Twitter) but haven't shared out of respect for the folks involved.

Facebook infrastructure and systems teams are the best I've ever seen, assembled from some of the other best teams I've ever seen. Or perhaps you're concerned about Facebook changing the business of Parse or shutting it down?

Pro tip: Don't try to be "too smart" or clever when talking to your users. Being wrong here is so much more tacky than either asking for gender if you need it, or just writing in a gender neutral way. "I'm sorry we

I know both Trip and Josh -- I don't think this article reads well on either one. My guess is Wealthfront needed some quotes from people and they are friensd with the WealthFront team. This whole story reads like a PR job. All the st

That's probably true, but I'd say that 5 years is a short window to look at for Cisco (but still, not disagreeing with you). In that timespan, outside of recent M&A (Meraki, Sourcefire), Tandberg was the only big one I can thi

Yammer was not even close to a profitable business at the time of acquisition, not was that ever a goal.

That won't happen... Cisco consumer and Cisco enterprise are entirely different beasts. Cisco's track record on M&A being successful is actually the subject of a number of case studies... they generally do it really well and k

Searching for NSFW tags is working fine now on the web app. It wasn't this morning. That was the bug they fixed.

We use client-side PKI and certs, not just with employees, but with customers, at OpenDNS. Works well, is a very strong added factor, and is easy to manage and deploy these days.

This is just a rant. People use PHP because they like it, or they're paid to use it or for any other variety of reasons. To argue it's because they don't know any better assumes the predicate. People can rag on the language,

But they called it "Square Cash" -- "Square Up" would actually be a terrific name.

There are many key attributes of cash that this system, despite it's ease of use, ignores. I rarely try to be pedantic, but two fundamental attributes of cash is that it can be used without a transaction record and often anonymously. Can

This is more true for consumer services, less true on the enterprise. Though it's a problem that great PMs need to overcome when building enterprise applications.

It's highly probably you hold a belief today that future you will be embarrassed about and that you may feel even stomps on the very fiber of your being. People change. That's the point. And that's the idea.

The negativity and bitterness (even when wrapped in the veil of a nice comment) on HN continues. The only difference between a sell-out and a not-sell-out is the presence of a buyer. That's it. How you treat your customers and your employe

Your examples are not just wrong, but the opposite is true. Twitter and FB needed crazy cash early on, and twitter still might. FB has a business model now, but they didn't for a long time. But they went from low millions to nearly a bil

Some business models only work at scale. Scale can be users, data, traffic, partnerships, distribution or a variety of things. This is a bet that Foursquare will find a business model as they become the location service everything builds o

I've often said that my platform is called the Internet. Or as I said here: https://twitter.com/davidu/status/313826471019954176 The risk to sharecropping on another platform just seems too great to outweigh the audience / signup / integr

Correct. DNSSEC just makes amplification worse. It's like: Do you want to be shot with 50 bullets or 100 bullets. DNSSEC is 100 bullets, regular DNS might be 50 bullets. Either way, you're going to die. I don't like DNSSEC, but amplifica
