How do you measure/test the life of something that's supposed to last for a really long time? For example, we refit our house with some (beautiful) CREE LED downlamps that are supposed to last about 25 years. While that's nice to know, is i

Dropbox is a lot different, though, when you think about it's core concept. Dropbox doesn't do anything that necessarily is novel. Dropbox allows your computer to function as it should--documents should be backed up, safe, and widely access

I'm really tired of this. I don't care about anybody's arguments -- regardless of the side -- I just want to be able to play my PS3 in peace.

Is it possible to conceive of something of anything less than one dimension? If so, how? I'm thinking about the way that Carl Sagan used the tesseract to represent four dimensions.

Which is what libertarians hate. The argument against government is that government unscrupulously uses eminent domain to seize land at below-market prices, which is then handed over to the ISP. Government's intervention a la eminent domain

This is an easy way for Amazon to start measuring the elasticity of demand for advertising. This will allow them to properly price advertising in the future. I wouldn't buy one, but this is a great idea. Now if only Amazon allowed the publi

You can't blame Clarkson. Top Gear's reviews aren't necessarily based on some objective standard. They rate a driving experience . For them, electric cars haven't provided the same experience that they are used to and it will be a while be

He did not fulfill his due diligence. Not if they're going to add this to the article: "Mohamed Hassan, MSIA, CISSP, CISA is the founder of NetSec Consulting Corp, a firm that specializes in information security consulting services. He is a

Everything that he did was just shameful. Suggesting class-action, writing two articles essentially saying the same thing (in a "2-part series"), shoving our faces with his credentials (that obviously didn't do much for him), claiming that

The damage done to Samsung via this false accusation will far outweigh the costs borne by NetSec. I'm against frivolous lawsuits, but I wouldn't mind if Samsung delivered one his way.

This situation reminds me of the HBGary incident. This guy is actually paid to know what he's talking about, and he has no clue what he's talking about. And this isn't cake-making, it's security! Preposterous.

I'm all for the privitization of schools (voucher system). People recoil in horror when I say this. However, it's not nearly as bad as what people make it out to be. Government should get out of the school/education provisioning business. I

Here's the thing, the domains of most successful websites are somewhat informative about the service that the website provides. It doesn't matter how abstract or strange the name may seem. For example, look at sites/services like Reddit, Di

When do people ever say, "I bought an Apple computer"? People usually say, "I bought a Mac". Ever rarer will you see someone say, "I bought an Apple phone." (I'm talking about most laymen aka consumers) Apple's branding value has followed f

In economics, this is called the signalling effect. And you're somewhat correct. The pure signalling/screening effect of college can probably be attributed to 50% of a person's wages wages over high school graduates.

Okay, then that's not a monopoly, it's merely an onerous contract.

You're going to want to look for a company with the least exposure to Japanese demand. You also want to see which company's plants were most disrupted by the crisis. I had the data before, I no longer look at the car industry in Japan but d

Your assumption is that market cap dramatically overstates the market value of companies. Your car analogy is flawed. Why not look at mergers and acquisitions? When companies attempt hostile takeovers, are they making bids that undercut the

Exactly. The entire purpose of opening your company up to the public is so that you can raise more money than you would otherwise get privately. Yes, the shares would probably be discounted for lack of profitability, but perhaps the timing

With almost 50 million units sold, I can assure you that the consumers that a fraction of a fraction of those consumers know what a "rootkit" is. The costs of the lawsuit are likely much greater than the opportunity cost in lost sales due t
