The hackers are an efficient way to advertise a product for free. They are continually online and like to go from website to website and talk about stuff they just learned about.

The original statement is thus valid.

I'm on Windows 7. It takes one click to postpone the update for four hours. And yet every four hours I get angry at Microsoft for a minute because of this.

Seems like they want to cover ground by buying every single startup that is successful and remotely related to social networking. This is where the startup economy falls and monopolies go bad.

Beautiful name. I hope you make awesome stuff out of it. Don't sit on it!

Windows, FF as well. It needs the divx plugin but then works flawlessly. Granted, needing additional plugins is kind of bad. But I don't know an easy way to embed very short videos so it's as good a solution as any.

There isn't a country with enough police to protect everyone from physical harm caused by others at nearly all times (statistically speaking)? I doubt it. And I doubt OP was speaking about those times when the country is entirely on fire or

>what is b and d anyway? Breadth and depth. These could apply to graphs as well, since these algorithms draw a tree while traversing the graph.

They probably just want to tell their employees that sharing "trade secrets" won't be tolerated. Nothing better for that than a lawsuit with ridiculous amounts of money. It might fail but it sends a strong message. Not that I don't despise

Opera might have been ahead in the past, but is it still ahead? Having tried their browser, I must have missed something because I think Firefox with addons is way better. I find brand fidelity particularly nonsensical when a company is goi

You're absolutely right. Read this: http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1bp44q/til_ge... . Basically, Lucas did the funding on his second movie, which encouraged him to use clever marketing strategies (since the profit was all f

If people with large pockets are dedicated enough to monitor Twitter, it must probably have proven efficient enough to justify doing it. I don't expect them to stop doing so until the fake tweets situation goes very big. And I'm sure Twitte

Hey Reddit isn't going to sort everything for the FBI and give them names of suspects to arrest. That's the job of the FBI. All we are saying is that Reddit, 4chan and others may help the FBI if they care to watch these threads. That might

Dark patterns suck. I'll shame companies that do this, regardless of how efficient it is. We should be focusing on selling products, not manipulating clients into buying them. A business that needs this kind of practices is a sloppy one tha

The power of ebay resides in being able to find any product that comes to mind on auction at virtually any given time. Therefore, no one I know bothers to check the competition (if it even exists) before they bid. The same known problem occ

You're thinking free software. Open source does not mean free. But you're right, open source without being free is pretty bad, as is locking your devices on your software and your own only, even for the purpose of making the experience "per

Oh come on, even Microsoft has their "open source" website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/openness/default.aspx This is marketing bullshit directed at developers angry at all their surveillance, their walled gardens, their "you can't re

First, no. HDD recovery is expensive but possible in many cases. Secondly, no one say it should be counted as a weakness, the guy above was just pointing out that it's probably not a strength, as someone above claimed.

How do you know they do? That said, you should have seen my face when my ISP emailed me my very password for online access, in plain text. It was something like 123456. Unforgivable double offense.

Mr. Ka-Shing himself, sure. He oversees every single investment his firm makes. I totally believe this. Besides, we don't know Ka-Shing isn't reading TechCrunch all day.

I switched from IE to Firefox and, looking back, I don't regret it, for the very same reason. Mozilla is the only non-profit and Mozilla is by far the best FOSS browser. Besides, Mozilla keeps pushing for new and better schemes and is one o

No, it's a lack of consistency. This is required of every person making a claim, not her specifically, so this has nothing to do with ad hominem.

I've never once in my life met a person that sincerely thinks that each and every inhabitant of a country is evil when their leaders are. By the way, "Iranians are evil" does not count, as it generally implies "most Iranians are evil", whic

Exactly. If they called it Internet Explorer OS, why not? But not while abusively using the Windows brand name that most people would blindly get because they don't know better.

Oh, that's good. Why do we have lawsuits in general then? I'd bet more guilty people are prosecuted than innocents. Let's make the economy of the judge's salary and assume everyone is guilty.

They probably made much more out of their previous monopoly anyway.
