Wow. I searched for my startup and it immediately came up with a breakout box for "<name> (Startup)" with additional links to our VC, a crunchbase profile, and more. That's actually better than Google in semantic relevance.

I agree. It's a myth the functional languages are simply more difficult. Once you learn to think functionally, it's just as natural as writing imperative code and doesn't take any more time. In fact, once you get really comfortable with

Wow that's an unexpected statement coming from the CEO of a major security firm. It's obviously extremely uninformed with respect to the nature of the internet, and more broadly, information dissemination. The gating issue isn't the expen

This article treats the Apple Tablet as obvious fact. Has this actually been established? I know the rumors have hit a fever pitch, but has there been anything 100% credible yet?
