The article fails to mention that the online storage space itself was considered quite competitive at the time. Yet Drew Houston was able to pull it off. It's a bigger space than SAT prep, but given the right entrepreneur, either could hav

There are numerous online resources most of them have been mentioned here. I agree Python seems like a great way to start, its what I've been working through as well. I'd also suggest to see if there are local classes available in addition

Although I hav no knowledge on the matter, why is there an assumption that this means the iPhone 5 won't have NFC? I'd imagine if Apple were to introduce NFC it would do so by bringing on board a few large retailers who would support it an

Don't assume David Karp was incensed just because the article claims so. This is Sarah Lacy's writing after all.

I think facebook has learned something from this as they prepare to push into China. Looks like they are going to partner with Baidu on the initiative. Whether that's a good idea or not remains to be seen.

Seems like Tutorspree could really start in any city. One could use the same argument about AirBnB (a high density of available apartments), but it's still worked out well for them. However, if NYC is your personal preference, that's grea

Oddly the point system went off when I hit a karma of 250, making me think I was being punished in some way. Great to see that isn't the case. Honestly, there are sometimes WAY too many comments to wade through, and I feel that comments wit

It's not clear to me what Gawker Media was thinking with this redesign. I now see a page with two scroll bars, one being the main one and then a secondary scroll bar with a collection of random topics. I go to Gizmodo and I see the main art

I agree with the article's predictions with respect to foursquare, but I'm not sure about Facebook, there's still tremendous potential there. Facebook appears to have released Places without putting much thought into it beyond allowing peop

I agree that a college education is undoubtedly important, especially in certain fields such as engineering, but these deans don't seem to pay any importance to the cost of education. It's going up at an unsustainable rate. If an undergrad

Mmmm...I think it's more likely all the smartphones out there that now have decent enough video capabilities for most people.

I'm surprised by the price as well - I'd have thought that with ads it would be much lower. Guess not. Reading tech or any material that could be considered educational might be difficult, as it's oftentimes necessary to switch back and for

This is not entirely surprising. If you take Yahoo's share of the market and add Microsoft's own pre-existing share with Bing, you get to about 30%. The question is whether or not their share increases any further. My guess is probably not

With the new ICD schedule arriving soon, an entire new set of codes will have to be learned, requiring physicians to become even more dependent on companies like the one your friend works for.

It's nice to note that the camera is inexpensive and as such disposable - but if you think hospitals are going to reduce the rates they charge because their costs have gone down, don't count on it. There's a reason they're still charging $6

Fred argues for an "open" platform, but I guess that "openess" doesn't apply to Twitter. So much for principles.

I don't buy it. Fred's a smart man - he knows with a company the size and scope of Apple releasing certain information will only feed competitors and fuel speculation. Steve Jobs said he was taking a medical leave of absence because his hea

Like I've stated before, this would be the perfect time for Microsoft to take Gundotra back and make him CEO. They desperately need the same type of change at the executive level.

If you have your existing Engadget editorial team in place apparently - and presumably the same contacts and access to news stories and new products - why would you have to wait until the Fall to launch? Engadget will have moved on by then

by dr_ 16y ago
If this is the reason they left - it's not a great idea. Engadget was fairly well regarded before they came on board and quite frankly, after Peter Rojas left it has continued to do quite well. In fact, I'd argue that his next venture - gdg
