Hopefully this implodes the absurdity that is .com squatting.

You can still have a vesting period for shares in a private company. 4 years is a normal amount of time to be fully vested.

One trick I read while writing some session code is to generate a session fingerprint using a salted md5 of the IP address + the User-Agent. That adds one extra level of protection in case your session storage (but not your webserver) is c

I can't be the only person who has mindlessly done that before.

I am. And Microsoft also recently announced that Windows 8 UI's are HTML5/JS, and yet here they go and release a brand new Silverlight/C# API. This is one very confused company.

I have the same criticism there too. I prefer multi-platform IDE's.

Please add a whole separate category for remote jobs. When remote jobs aren't separated it's too much effort for remote job seekers to filter through to find them. Basically every job board ever invented fails at this.

I'd love to try this, but the all-Microsoft stack required to use this SDK is a huge barrier to entry. I use a Mac, I don't know C#, Silverlight, Visual studio etc. In order to use this SDK I need to buy into MS tech on many levels. A br

In my spare time I let my subconsciousness work through the problems that my conscious-self couldn't figure out. I find music, entertainment, social activities, and natural surroundings the best way to enable this process.

Agreed, bitcoin is in the bear trap phase right now. Almost nobody knows about bitcoin yet. Wait until the Federal Reserve starts banning bitcoin... that'll mark the beginning of the bubble phase.

I wonder what the guys who founded and sold Reddit must be thinking of the site's continued success. Ever since Digg went down Reddit seems to have completely taken over the social news category.

I'm not going to shed a tear. Cable companies had to know their business plans weren't going to work forever when pay-per-view movie rates started exceeding the cost of renting a DVD, or in some cases actually buying the DVD. Now... about

Aeron chairs and tricked out Mac dev systems aren't exactly cheap these days.

I think a better way to think about this is to separate your company from the products you build. Ask yourself what does your company do, and how your products accomplish that goal. In a lot of startups these days the product is the compa

It's model-view-presenter, which is basically MVC.

I just want to point out there seems to be a lot of Winklevoss-types looking Zuckerburg-types these days, basically everywhere. I thought this trend would die down after "The Social Network" came out, but in fact there seems to be even mor

This is exactly why JavaScript is going to win. I'm using JavaScript back to front using CouchDB -> NodeJS -> client-side JavaScript. The cognitive overhead of switching from language to language is pretty much gone. Being able t

I'd rethink this business plan if I were you.

That's kind of the same thing -- a person from the future would probably not really be able to guide us into the future any faster. He wouldn't even be able to show us how to build a time machine because the technology necessary to build t

It's reasons like this, that I really wonder if someone from today were to time travel into the past if anything they know would be useful at all. Medieval people would probably think we're all idiots.

This setup is more ergonomic than I thought it would be. A monitor does not have to be at eye level -- that's just what you're used to with a sitting desk. I look downward at about 45 degrees to the monitor and my hands are at a slight in

You don't really need a "standing desk" to try this out. Here's where I work from during most of the day now: http://i.imgur.com/oQTGQ.jpg I'm using a laptop stand (from rain design) under some textbooks to lift my laptop up to normal wo

Also "From the makers of Internet Explorer" doesn't exactly have a nice ring to it. Microsoft has a bad track record in exactly the areas that "the cloud" is supposed to fix (security, stability, backups, crash-free, virus-free, maintenanc

By MS-only, I refer to Microsoft technologies and development tools for Windows, Windows Phone, Azure. Early adopters (alpha geeks, developers, etc) generally use Macbooks now which you can see for yourself at any tech conference. Microso

How do you market MS-only products when all the early adopters are using Macbooks?

These will probably not sell well. I guess Google didn't expect the iPad to be such a big hit, and now the netbook market is already over with. If Google had more foresight ChromeOS would've been a tablet OS right from the start.

I still don't buy any argument that Apple is entitled to any subscription fee at all. If I use my own subscription system, own payment system, own user system, and my own bandwidth to supply the content, then I shouldn't have to give anythi

I think HP's marketing is wrong, they shouldn't be touting the WebOS operating system so much because ordinary people don't care. The operating system is irrelevant in this type of device. In fact, I think something along the lines of Goo

Who knows what the internal architecture is but it's possible they have natural lighting columns throughout the building.
