It's pretty interesting to me how incredibly polarizing the topic of Facebook is on the web. People seem convinced that Facebook is an evil enterprise and has to be stopped and its board, employees, and shareholders should all suffer.

There's something ironic about NYT getting a lot of its traffic these days by writing recaps of Facebook news.

I think it's both. You won't get very far if you treat everyone at your job like an enemy. Don't burn bridges if not necessary. If you find a better job, leave graciously and do what you can to help transition. You don't

They would probably rather pay this out and have it go away instead of being a widely circulated ESPN article and potentially still losing in a lawsuit. I think the reason they won't is they don't want to set a precedent for futur

The house is being listed at $21.8 million. That doesn't mean it's going to sell for that. There have been a number of stories recently about very expensive homes sitting on the market for years and having to be reduced in price s

The mistake that I see most analysts make with regard to the iPhone launch events is that they make them right away, based on their initial gut reaction to the keynote. While their analysis may make sense and be completely reasonable, there

I don't understand the "Amazon is eating into Facebook's and Google's business" argument, and I've seen it now over and over. Is there really a lot of overlap there? It seems to me that the brands that advertis

Which one, Stitch Fix? Because I'd disagree that a publicly-traded company worth over $4 billion that was started by two people in an apartment doesn't belong in the conversation of successful startups that used the development of

The comments from that post about his best decision being born to a wealthy family are so moronic. Sure, the connections probably helped him stay out of trouble, go to better schools, etc. But to say that he owes his success to his wealth i

I look at it the other way. People keep comparing Amazon and Facebook to YouTube, But I don't understand why. YouTube is a single channel and is very different from others because they serve video ads. Google (search) on the other hand

How did this article make the New York Times? It’s awful. I listened to the entire Snap conference call and Spiegel directly attributed the drop in active users to the app redesign, a fact that wasn’t mentioned until 2/3 of the way thr

Agreed. The older I get the more I’ve learned to listen to other people and to question my own ideas. I’ve gotten to the point where I actually view people who listen to others and are open to changing their opinions when confronted with go

I'm not necessarily saying that the report is false. More that lots of things have to align in order for this to end with Micron losing significant market share in China. The report has to be true and the injunction enacted and the inj

This article just reeks of BS. There is nothing officially substantiated beyond a Micron competitor reporting that a single court issued a temporary preliminary injunction. Micron has denied the report. Given the obvious backlash China woul

This is exactly what I was thinking, too. I remember well the days that AMD was beating Intel to market in 800MHz clock speeds for a fraction of the cost of an Intel chip and lots of people were assuming AMD was going to overtake Intel. But

I think you’re missing the point. It’s not about the decision to do ARM mobile chips instead of PC chips, it’s about the decision to go for data center dominance instead of consumer electronics dominance.

I’m not so sure that not choosing to produce ARM based chips for the iPhone was such an obvious miss for Intel. Why would they want their business subject to the whims of a single company over which they exert zero control? Just as an examp
