Saw this, figured that on the off-chance this saves me some aggravation that that aggravation would be worth $3.99. Saw the words "my store" and realized that in all likelihood I'd have to type out my entire credit card number, billing addr

They're trading the 'unfair' uneven distribution of equity based on position for one in which people are compensated equally regardless of position. This twist on the distribution seems like a great way to attract people to fill those posit

If every user used different passwords on every single site, this submission would be hardly newsworthy and barely discussion worthy. In a perfect world, sure, every user would have a unique 14+ character password for every site they regist

I'd be interested in seeing the correlation between return on investment and level of basic security-related competence at the point at which the company first attempted to raise VC money.

It would be nice if there existed a browser extension that would warn the user anytime they are about to register on a site with password storage issues like this. Of course, there would need to be some sort of community maintained reposito

I think that it has less to do with why the technical obstacles can be overcome and more to do with the fact that they can be overcome. Unless a technical obstacle can be 100% secure, having an additional layer of security in the form o

I think this, like the Patriot Act and countless others, is indicative of a problem with the way in which we name our bills. No politician wants to be the guy that voted against the "Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 20

The wording on this article makes it sound as though this was NOT an acquisition of the company, but a "job offers for everyone on the team" sort of deal. To be clear, was the company acquired, or did everyone quit and join Google? How do i

Interesting. I'm on their 50/20 (mbps down/up) plan and regularly go WAY over the 250GB 'limit' in San Francisco's Mission district and have had no repercussions for doing so. I wonder what the specific conditions are for when/where they ch

It's nice that they're recognizing that sometimes people want to search in a radius that is less than 25 miles (current minimum on the full site). I find it pretty annoying that I have to manually filter out women from South Bay and/or Berk

That "imaginary scale of better-ness" that you speak of is called happiness. At least, that's the scale on which I would find a difference between pushing around a $500 beat-to-shit Dodge Neon and cruising in a brand new BMW. If you're driv
