Uber’s go-to-market product incorporated a distributed brute-force attack against one of the Traveling Salesman’s cousin problems – they’re a tech for that reason alone.

I work in the same building as Boxee’s New York HQ, four floors down – now I know why I’ve been seeing such a marked uptick in the amount of Boxee employees out on the sidewalk chatting excitedly, in like the past two weeks… to my upstairs

Crazy – my IMAP client (Apple Mail) has no problem until it tries to send via SMTP… when it chokes. Also, no working gmail for all my accounts except my @gmail.com address – at least fail consistently , you Googlers. Blech!

An aside: Why did thenextweb's editorial designer choose the image of a guy peering darkly through what looks like a M-mount Micro-4/3rds lens adapter to occupy this article's prime page real-estate? Assuming that the illustrations' intent

Allard WAS Courier. Saying it didn't cause his departure is like saying that the dealer hitting 21 doesn't cause you to go over: arguably true but besides the point. Allard bet big and lost -- a sad loss in my opinion but a losing bet regar

I need standalone code to read and write PVRTC files, to and from a simple 1-dimensional uint8 image-buffer -- "standalone" in this case means "something tied to neither Objective-C nor an insanely gigantic C++ game-programming framework".

_would you still judge it only on its exchange rate?_ the idea is that the market will judge it on the features you enumerated (GUI/settling speed/volatility) and the exchange rate will reflect that, n'est ce pas?
