It's hard to envision this being an extinction event for Steam. Microsoft has just never been able to get people onboard in the way that Valve has with PC game distribution platforms. GFWL was/is a disaster that ended up being more trouble

On the one hand, a referendum supporting marriage equality has never passed a vote of the people in the US. On the other hand, Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing and Starbucks are rarely on the losing side of issues in Washington. It's an exciting t

Yahoo! and AOL are a classic examples of The Innovator's Dilemma. They can't separate themselves from the immediate needs of their customers to look at the patterns of what's next. They'll never take the leap of faith to do something comple

Reminds me very much of javelin.js's tone. If Facebook engineers can do it, why can't you? https://github.com/facebook/javelin/

I love it. I have three different Google accounts I use for docs and being able to not have to open up a new tab just to see the other docs is worth the download. The only thing I'd want is a little bit less agnosticism about which docs bel

The best part about Reddit, is that you can move with people of a like mind to a different subreddit. /r/games and /r/programming come to mind. If you look, it's not that hard to find places where earnest discussion continues. You're just p

Absolutely, any product that you need to physically inspect before you buy seems like it'd survive.

It'll destroy larger B&M stores but I doubt it'll fully outdo local specialty shops. What you'll see is a stratification between hyper specialty B&M that sell luxury items only a tiny subset of people want, but are willing to pay ou

Yep, I know multiple people who have gone elsewhere in the state to less competitive programs for the simple fact that UW CSE is so arbitrarily difficult in its admission process. The byproduct is schools like WSU, WWU and others getting to

Reminds me a lot of the ripped-paper style of And Yet It Moves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QLp7q18iZk

You're spot on. It all comes down to a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you're in public, interacting with other people in the public, you waive your right to not have pictures taken of you. I don't know a place in the US that this doe

Having worked with remote teammates, I'm open to anything that makes people feel more like they're part of a common workplace.

I think you're spot on with the mini-computer to PC transition. This carries all the same echoes of the frontier-days of early PCs. Initially, people (myself included) wrote tablets off as being a toy for enthusiasts, and now they're reachi

You seem like you know what you're talking about. Why do you think the average live-blogger uses something like Twitter over a video app like Color? It'd take just as long to sit through a live-blogged session as it would to just watch an a

I think it would be hard to make the argument that Microsoft is arrogant in its current state. Sure, back when no one used anything but Win 95/98 and Office, they strutted around like they could do no wrong. And they continued with this att
