And Apple got 30% of that? Such a rip-off to developers.

Whoever put that together, well, I hope I never have to maintain their code, because it's clear they're the type who document for themselves.

That's sort of a ridiculous statement. HP probably has far, far more software under active maintenance than Google, and maybe than Apple. Do you understand how many different products HP maintains software for between management tools, firm

When I was still a wage-slave, I hopped jobs because most start-ups are run by people who have never done this before, and they create lousy work environments. I also like to leave other peoples' companies every year because I'm a systems e

Probably a lot quicker than it will take to save the sinking ship that is Palm. Sure this is a market penetration play, but why? Palm was a failure. PalmOS was a failure. WebOS might be cool, but the damage is done. Google is making good pe

It's a broader definition of gangster, for sure, but the big PE firms in Russia are largely backed by ex-soviet bigwigs turned natural resource masters. Have you noticed how many of them seem to end up in prison? Just like American gangster

I view it as some yuppy jackass being able to prove he overpaid for a phone that doesn't actually make phone calls.

All jobs will suck. The key is to find a way to be happy that doesn't involve basing the entirety of your personal identity on your day job. Or just take lots of drugs.

I have to think that HP could just throw $100m at the problem and build an embedded OS that's far better than Palm, without having to take on the assets of a long-since failed corporation.

The upside is that working for TechCrunch can get you networked into the right group of self-righteous windbags in case you want one of your ideas to get hyped up one day. The downside is that Arrington has a history of making emotional bus

HN has been pretty sluggish for a little while now. If you rewrote it in Rails you could it host it on Heroku and get back to not worrying about scaling!

I don't mean to discount it, but I find it really hard to give weight to the bad companies that got bought out for inflated prices during the dot-com boom. I worked for enough of them to know how much luck and a gold-rush mentality was invo

The question is not what would happen tomorrow...the question is what would have happened has RMS never existed. My hope is that if RMS hadn't existed, somebody who wasn't a creepy, bearded hippy would have been the spokesperson for free

BSD / MIT licenses might be "freer", in some sense, but almost all free projects are released because of the ideal of fighting propitiatory software. This word, propitiatory .. I do not think it means what you think it means .. But even i

Having worked with over 40 start-ups over the past three years who use LDAP, I have to ask how you define the term "Nobody". That being said, I think LDAP is just as awful as all of the other centralized technologies that came out of old-gu

It depends on where you are. I spent 6 months in Jakarta, and due to cultural arbitrage, was able to date incredibly attractive women there because I was pale and fat, and I tend to go for women with darker complexions, who are considered u

A friend of mine has a theory that the rise of depression over the past 20 years has a lot to do with the low-fat diet kick the country has been on, even though low-fat diets have never been proven to prevent obesity or to reduce it. Since

They will die, as simple as that. Bit.ly was a short-sighted, stupid investment. I mean they took $2m in VC a year ago, and now another $1.5m in debt? To build a hash of urls, an ACL system, and some metrics? If only there were an exchange

Investors with no perspective will definitely believe that the "twitter ecosystem" is a good idea. In reality, what an awful concept .. Let's spend a few million dollars building a feature, and calling it a company. Because if they do that,

One word: Sharecropping. This is my big concern with the current trend of turning websites into platforms. Any share-cropped idea that would be profitable to do in-house and is in line with the business goals will eventually be done in-hous

Is this supposed to be surprising? Globalized manufacturing is a zero-sum race to the bottom where only share-holders win. Everybody else becomes slaves when "contracting out to the lowest bidder" means "hiring the cruelest whipmaster".

This article is one that makes me wish I could downvote. "My crappy printer doesn't work with my free operation system. Therefore that operating system should be scrapped, it's community is a failure!$@!!@$" Or maybe printers are all cheap
