   Alternative because the company is trying to make money? Sounds good until the (so-called) other company does the same exact thing.

   I'm running into a similar problem with a trademark I hold for my brand (that I created and am developing). People have fast-followed with different (similar) Twitter accounts, but are calling themselves my trademark (thus diluting the

   I remember reaching out to them a couple years ago asking about their stack, and I got a really nice/informative response back (actually they linked me to a page on their site that listed all the info). These two deserve it!

   I'd go with a one because I like HTC better than LG. Plus I've had both manufacturers (had a Nexus One up until about a year ago) when I got the Nexus 4, and I thought the HTC hardware was better.

    Yeah, another thing is when I'm talking on it with someone for awhile and try to get back to the "call screen" which doesn't happen, and they are still on the phone (if I want to open a browser or do something while I

    Meh; it's alright. I've had the Nexus One (pre-ordered) when it first came out up until this phone. This phone is larger, but doesn't feel as good. Feels very plasticky. Biggest annoyances are when I'm talking on it and

    Joyride is good. Hopscotch is being used as a component already on LinkedIn, and it was part of an incubator project which is the reason for the (public) announcement and reason to open-source it ( http://engineering.linkedin.com&

    Probably because SpaceX has more autonomy since it doesn't need to meet the expectations of shareholders -- the same reason Musk isn't planning on an IPO with SpaceX for a really really long time.

    What a great idea. They should make a website so that when people search it gives them a suggestion of a site based on their query.

    I do have the twitter handle. The problem is that they are using their Twitter name as the same as my trademarked name. So while my twitter is: twitter.com/ActualTrademarkName their twitter is twitter.com/NotRelatedToTrademarkName

    Except this would then: A) Only apply to small "startups" B) Be horribly inefficient. This doesn't scale, but I'm glad for your startup it works. You like it because you don't have to pay unemployment/benefits
