"The number of potential subscribers dwarfs the number of people who are actually purchasing music on iTunes," Mr Bronfman said. The number of potential customers always dwarfs the actual, that doesn't mean you're going to get them.

You're only out of luck if you want a detailed history or to view it on the web, plenty of monitoring devices exist that are compatible with the analog models. http://blackanddecker.com/Energy/PowerMonitor.aspx?WT.mc_id=...

There's an interesting book that I've read about, but haven't picked up yet, called "Three Felonies A Day". It discusses the selective enforcement of vague statutes and the incredible number of said statutes. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Fe

The ironic thing about Wave is that despite Google's positioning it to get everyone working on the internet this is a product that will prove its value on corporate intranets. Enable authentication via Active Directory and Wave can be a Sha

I'm not a big fan of Rands' writing style either, but I have to say the content is usually worth the trouble.

First I've seen it and I've been here almost 2 years, the value of a community like HN is the commentary on the links as much as the links themselves.

We IT people look at smartphones as computers with phone capabilities but I think the average consumer sees them as phones with other stuff added on. This is an important distinction. Over the past 30 years people have come to accept that c

I remember reading about someone who wrote letters and mailed them to companies (sorry I have no link to offer). He found a better response from the snail-mail variety and figured it the volume of written mail in a corporation was so low th

I work for a publicly funded institution, in our jurisdiction we have to go through the RFP process. It is either an RFP (where we are allowed to do an evaluation of who "best" met the requirements - using a pre-defined scoring criteria) or

Of course not, the real problem is that hardware makers generally don't do good software. By good software I mean useful and elegant, there's a reason there's products like PC-decrapifier out there.

Exactly. I don't think Murdoch is actually upset that Google drives people to his sites, what bugs him is that they go to Google first. When you read a story in a newspaper, you almost automatically consume other content in that paper, incl

Organizations will always come up with ways to encourage buying more (or paying a higher price), but the strategies are a moving target because a given market will learn and adjust (albeit slowly). I would argue that the MRSP "trick" no lo

Time spent on grocery shopping, washing dishes, etc. are only opportunity costs, they only cost money if you were to otherwise use that specific time generating income.

I always keep paper around me to jot down ideas, sketches of interfaces, uml, whatever. The problem for me is retaining the content of the paper for later use, and being able to find it. I tried a OneNote on a tablet PC for a while but havi

So what are we, us early-adopting power users, saying here? That Apple has suddenly morphed into an entity that ignores our demands? Please! I switched over to the Mac platform about 4 years ago but I knew what I was getting. I was buying a

Steven Frank "quitting" the iPhone is a bigger deal. If the rumours are to be believed then Arrington is about to be a competitor to Apple (in the tablet space). That plus his history of histrionics kind of tempers my interest in his opinio

If this was indeed the case then the better solution would have been for Amazon to pay the royalties to the copyright holder on the previous sales and quietly remove the 99 cent version from the store. This is a public relations disaster fo

Agreed, yet if it wasn't for Google Docs then Office 2010 would be shipped solely as desktop software. Let's be thankful that MS takes the competition seriously.

True enough, but the same could be said for Wikipedia (does Wikipedia offer a dump of data like this?), the catch for spamxyz.org is that stackoverflow's answer should show up earlier in the results list due to pagerank. If spamxyz.org viol
