Is this for real? The article paints this as a political mugging: "Give money to our ecosystem—lobbying, contributions, PACs, etc—or we'll harass you in Washington." Is this actually how this works? Is there any incentive for Apple to engag

What a perfect example of the benefits of open communication. Sarah was a skilled enough boss to make Zach feel comfortable challenging her. Zach was an engaged enough employee to actually discuss something that was bothering him. There are

This is going to be tough to argue from a hacking standpoint. IANAL, but a quick perusal of some of the hacking-related legislation shows that almost all federal definitions of "hacking" involve "without or exceeding authorization "(See sec

This is one of the few areas where us entrepreneurs can learn from enterprise. You never see large software companies talking about their technology; they sell "solutions". They've learned over the years that the customers don't give a rat

If your business model is built on a widely disliked revenue stream (read: online ads), perhaps it would be wiser to revisit your business model than to write open letters asking the disliked behavior to be continued.

Very interesting overview. I wonder how the sensors work... can they detect a broken pipe at a specific location? The article also kept referring to "equipment"... how granular does that get? Is an entire heating system one piece of "equipm

I've had some very similar stories, including a few consulting jobs and numerous introductions to people I otherwise would never have met. You never know who may read your writing.

Ha! I thought about it, and hoped that the fact that it's publicly available on the internet and indexed by Google would clear me of the problem; I'm not posting it, I'm just linking to it. Still, who knows... EDIT: You made me paranoid eno

I'm missing why this is news to anyone. Almost any large company will have language like this in their ethics guidelines. Take this random company, for example [1]: > Never give the impression you are speaking on behalf of Biogen Idec i

Can't blame News Corp, really... moving to cable would be a sound business move. They have their bottom line to protect, and if their revenue source is threatened, they should investigate moving to a different revenue model.

Question for someone who knows something about patent law: does Rackspace have a chance of actually making any money here? Simply based on seeing other stories like this, it seems that all these trolls operate through shell companies, which

Not sure I agree with his definition. Did you go to college? You invested in the long game. Did you earn an advanced post-bac degree? Same. Did you spend a few months to learn a new technology? Same. Have you put some time into creating a p

I think his argument is that "paid" beats "free" because paid can support, whereas free is by definition relying on other revenue (advertising, other paid products) to support it. When a paid product dies, it's (often) because the product

I've gone through this book. I found it useful for theory, but not useful for gaining an appreciation of how the models work in practice. Most practitioners will appreciate a more applied book than this one.

Very useful, thanks for sharing. For those who use this, keep in mind that if you're acting as a crawler, you may be going against the sites TOS and/or robots.txt file. For example, LinkedIn's User Agreement [1] specifically states: ------

This is completely the wrong message, but there's something useful hiding here. "Just ship it" is idiotic, and can cost you tremendously in many ways. Rather, the appropriate message is: "Make a decision, and move on." The misstep was waiti

In reading this, all I can think of is "buttbuttination" and the broader Scunthorpe problem [1] (to use Wikipedia's term). Strange that Apple is using such a crude filtration technique. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

Oh, the irony... the new jQuery website layout is completely borked in IE 8. So much for cross-browser compatibility. On a different note, I love how they have Stack Overflow listed in their "support" links. It's also cool that they're push
