Spain is probably hovering around 20% unemployment, and you won't like the pay they're offering. You'd think with all the startups doing mobile/cloud computing there would be more of a market for telecommuters. I'd keep looking and try to

This was a lot more entertaining than the typical Techcrunch blog spam. They should maybe try to do more things like this "boots on the ground" sort of stuff. I'm so tired of hearing about so-and-so getting funded by so-and-so, that stuff

Not everyone over 30 has a wife, kids, 2 cars, is in debt up to their eyeballs, and lives downtown San Francisco. I'm over 30, single, own a home, and am bootstrapping a software/consulting business. Between income from my business, saving

Moore's Law has become synonymous with any technology getting faster/smaller/cheaper logarithmically.

If you're going to use Moore's law you'd look at what your speeds were 10 years ago. On a cable modem in 2001 I was certainly getting more than 100kbps (~12KB/s), I was probably closer to 1mbps.

He's off by an order of magnitude. It took about 10 years for my cable internet to go from 100KB/s to 1MB/s where it stands now (this is in Canada). That's a 10 fold increase in 10 years, not 100 which he is predicting. So by 2021 I expect

I've been experimenting with having my work computer be physically disconnected from the internet. I have everything I need to do my job self contained on my laptop, including documentation. If I want to use the internet I need to step aw

Forget what company it is for a moment. Buying private shares of a pre-IPO company whose financial details aren't known is a very risky form of investing. On IPO day you could quite literally lose 90% of your investment before being able

17"MBP here too, and after 2 years its been a great machine, still decent specs by today's standards. But the size is starting to wear on me. I've entertained the option of upgrading to a new 15"MBP but it doesn't seem like a big enough j

Because it's still a privately owned company, only small amounts of Facebook stock can be purchased by an exclusive club of Goldman Sachs' best buddies. That's the only reason for the absurdly high valuation. If this stock begins trading

It's strange seeing this on Microsoft's website considering their multi-decade campaign to prevent web-based games and applications from becoming mainstream.

You can make it universally available with: if (!Array.prototype.map) { Array.prototype.map = function(fun /*, thisp */) { "use strict"; if (this === void 0 || this === null) throw new TypeError(); var t = Object(th

The slickest way I can imagine to do it would be be using HTML5 Webworkers on the clients and Websockets on NodeJS for the server. I've been thinking of doing some experiments in this direction, I'd be surprised if at least a few folks are

You spend more time looking for stuff to watch than actually watching stuff. Ever been to a video rental store? That's how it used to be done. Browsing through the collection and reading the synopsis on the back of the cassettes

I can't help but be kind of sad when Yahoo buys a company knowing the technology/product they have acquired will most likely die on the vine.

I highly doubt any of it is stock considering SurveyMonkey raised money, presumably, to expand in this way.

This article explains the thing that has bothered me most about all the bubble talk - that the bubble is not in technology at all. The bubble is in marketing companies that just so happen to use websites to sell ads and consumer data.

If currencies were perfectly elastic then yes, the price of the exports would increase exactly to match the inflation. But they're not, if a currency falls it takes years for that change to be reflected in the prices. For example the Cana

Too bad that we have to worry about MS and IE not supporting it. It is long past the time for the web development community to abandon this mentality. Look at how fast the web has progressed without Microsoft. Once WebGL is availa

I think you've got that backwards. Google are the ones who will probably regret lowballing Groupon. Google's track record in social anything is abysmal. What makes this half-assed attempt any different? What Google's entry into this mark

You think they'd use this as an opportunity to use HTML5 pushstate.
