It had everything to do with fragmentation. Honeycomb (by Googles admission) was a stop-gap to get something out for tablets. They chose not to release the source as they wanted to limit the number of devices shipping with honeycomb in favo

Zynga would be effectively firing them for being too expensive. That's probably the most common reason for any layoffs. It sucks, but I can't imagine they have a legal leg to stand on.

Just to be clear. I think you're arguing that it was failures in both policies (government backed loan programs that made money cheap) and oversight (no one was properly overseeing the whole mess). If that's what your saying.. I would compl

Sure it does. The market for beer bonds doesn't exist if there isn't an ever increasing ceiling on the price of the asset that bond is backing. In this story beer went to $18 and everyone was willing to pay it, not because it was worth $18

Home depot commits to much aisle space to programmable thermostats for them to simply be a new build or even a contractor replacement. Anecdotally I certainly know several folks who have DIY'ed programmable thermostats into their homes.

I think that's part of Woz's mystique. He's the brilliant hacker who just likes solving problems. It fits in with the story that Woz originally offered the Apple 1 to Hewlett Packard as he thought they should have first crack at it.... that

Aren't roads similarly a net-loss and are 100% subsidized by taxes? Sure, public transportation is great for young single people. Try going to the grocery store with young kids on the bus. It's virtually impossible. I see it literally eve

Original suburbs are generally now just called "the city". They are built on the city grid and generally have relatively high densities. The prototypical "street car suburbs" that surround the urban core of most cities where the first true

The 3.0 thing is a really interesting case. Android's open source model is that the code is primarily written and managed by Google, and then released all at once "when it's ready". So the only pushes are version releases and related bug-fi

I'm hoping it comes with the requisite netflix...err qwikster... efficiency that I've come to expect. We tried Blockbuster for this, and it was a nightmare. Getting a game from them was an exercise in patience. We were with them for two mon

Best Buy corporate was at least testing a similar setup a few years back. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm not sure this is exclusively small company.

Our lawyers informed us that such a policy may not be entirely legal here in Colorado, particularly for the "non-exempt" employees.

In my world it definitely is. They are MUCH more local for those of us living in the city (Denver in this case) than Groupon which typically has deals that are 20 miles from my house. For me and my social circle, Living Social is something

If you think that is a good price for a professional designer to earn crafting what is essentially a logo for a huge company, you are mistaken. Huh? Why would the size of the company and the reach of the logo matter in the slightest? It's

Possibly. Investors (generally) have some sort of liquidation preference on the stock. The details of that preference are complex and can take some time to fully understand. Things like double-dipping (owning a liquidation preference and TH

Liquidation preferences (in particular) are a big deal. It's entirely possible (if not common) for you to purchase stock that is literally worthless. In small and even mid-size exits certain employees simply won't get paid.

But we already have that. Why woud you buy it? Is it just that it's cheaper? Are developers going to want to build apps for it? I think breaking away to complete Android incompatibility is a huge mistake.

I'm not sure. The Touchpad broke that way because it was a $600 device that was all of a sudden $99. People were anchored on "this is an expensive device" and all of a sudden it was supremely affordable. A straight up $99 phone certainly wo
