Yeah, but by definition you'd never hear about it - Lodsys would have to insist on complete secrecy.

Genuine question - what about legal client confidentiality?

Fear of overselling could kill your company - it puts a brake on everything you do. Even worse, it gives you the perfect excuse not to market your product to the max, and human nature means you'll actually market it close to the minimu

> Even worse, you go by yourself. This. A lone human is many, many times more vulnerable than even a couple. There is a reason why we tend to stick together. In this particular case, the article seems to be trying to exonerate McCandless

That stood out to me too. Trusting a foreign intelligence agency to destroy what would probably be the most interesting titbits beggars belief. Given the usual "one rule for us, one rule for the public" I'd be amazed if this

Personally it looks great. I've resorted to painting white spots of the side of all my micro-USB plugs so I know which side is up in lower light. With this one, you'll be able to run a thumbnail along it to tell which side is whic

They'll simply dust off the SCO playbook. Unless the new CEO is made of very different stuff; or US legislators realise that patent aggression is the last refuge of a scoundrel, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson.

Off topic... wiring DOES seem hard. I'm from NZ, where it's very common to do an EFT payment to another bank account. We do this for paying bills, giving money to friends, and even paying for online purchases. I recently set up a

Most New Zealanders hoped for better. Depending on the poll, somewhere between 60% and 80% of us opposed the GCSB bill. A little background - our prime minister John Key is a very pragmatic politician, carefully avoiding contentious issues

I thought Microsoft could kill a Windows app they didn't like these days. Maybe I'm wrong, and your point stands for earlier versions of Windows and Linux.

To be fair, I think there was a mix of altruism and self-interest with both technologies. Without WebM being a credible alternative, I think we'd have seen H264 licensing tighten up considerably. And the fact that SPDY was developed un

Just checked: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/email/ I was stung by the loss of free apps for domains, because I use Appengine and need several distinct email addresses per app. None of them need Drive or anything but e

If it does turn out to be an attack, the perpetrator must be extremely well endowed in the gonad department. Although you can never be sure with government websites, you'd expect that the NSA's servers would be fairly well hardene

I think the point is that you can't stop the amoral nutjobs (awesome term BTW!) by killing them (and their family and friends) either, because that just embitters another generation. Your examples actually illustrate this perfectly - T

A little of both, I think. It coincided with a more sedentary job, but I've noticed a lot of small aging-related changes in my body (nostril hair going crazy, fingernails getting rougher, that sort of thing) at about the same time, and

My friends, I have discovered a miracle cure for weight gain. It's simple, painless, and you don't have to cut out whole food groups. Best of all, I'll tell you what it is - here and now - at no charge! Here it is... A SMALL

I also agree that the article poses useful questions that need answers. However, in this case I think it is extremely important that we get real answers, and don't allow ourselves to be swayed by ad-hominem or other specious arguments.

"destroy" is hyperbole, but it's certainly going to have a chilling effect. We can't ignore the elephant in the room any longer - our utopian global human internet is actually just a US government controlled plaything. M

I'm neutral about it, overall. I find the window ridiculously small (or ridiculously big if you maximise it), and I hate the hidden formatting bar - I use formatting a lot, so the extra click to reveal it and then the hassle of it covering

I use ozforex.com.au. They build their fee into the rate, and still seem to offer better rates than anyone else I've found. Basically you pay into their US bank account, they pay into your Aus bank account a day later.

Honestly, the biggest asset I can see from your message is your girlfriend. Spend the next few days working on an awesome proposal, instead of working for people you don't respect any more. The startup? Almost irrelevant, in comparison. Whe

Your (traditional currency) bank balance is "just bits". The only reason that a number stored on a bank's computer has value is that we have all agreed to trust the bank not to mess with that number. They are allowed to add and subtract fro

I'd love to know how you posted that comment, then. Because if you've stopped using anything from Google because they ditched Reader, presumably you've also sworn off all Microsoft products (they killed Clippy!), anything from Apple (R.I.P.

Thanks for your pertinent comments - in particular I should not have mentioned introversion, a cheap cliche at best. I would take issue that you can train anyone to be a great salesperson. Having done a stint in sales and seen many good and
