I wonder if there is a market boost that comes from having your stuff hacked. Using the Keurig 2.0 as an example: Adding DRM to the coffee maker turned off a lot of people. But once a hack was discovered it generated more publicity for the

Cars have been doing keyless entry for decades. They've even recently moved to proximity keys so that you don't even have to press a button. What do you not understand?

You don't have to carry a key with you.

There was no union hate in my comment. There were facts about unions who lobby to have minimum wage increased because it affects their bottom line.

Where did this notion come from that wages equal the value of a person? If this were true, shouldn't every single person make the same amount, regardless of age, experience, knowledge, or ability? About minimum wage: do you know who re

<smallrantresponse> There is so much wrong with this way of thinking. First, wages have nothing to do with the value of a person. Second, getting rid of a job because it doesn't pay enough is the epitome of cutting off your nose

It seems if they were that clueless, they would have had many more opportunities to change default browsers without realizing it.

Well put. His post on the UGA website did not endanger anyone, did not incite riots or violence. It inconvenienced whoever had to fix it and it poked fun at the football team. This would be like charging someone with grand larceny if they

There's a link to it and a Wells Fargo version at the bottom, so I would say yes.

Yeah, I don't understand this. Google owns YouTube also. I would like to know how they formulate these metrics.

Its hard for me to wrap my mind around this. Are you a person is willing to risk losing their intellect, health, usefulness to society and even their life but is afraid of the legal repercussions of that decision? That doesn't make sen

In addition to the 13 month calendar, I wish the year started in March or April. The beginning of Spring* makes more sense for a new year than the middle of winter. *I realize this is only true in the northern hemisphere, but 90% of the wor

When I saw Aerobie, I immediately thought of the flying ring. Interesting that they branched out to a coffee press from all their other products., which are basically all things that you throw.

I think this whole "hack the Keurig 2.0 DRM" has created more press for their coffee maker than they would have otherwise had. I expect them to sell more because of it.

Do you really think Bill Gates selectively reads book only by white males? Do you really think Bill Gates would hesitate to put a book on his list of best books if it was written by someone other than a white male? It's a ridiculous cl

When I saw that Bill Gates called Business Adventures by John Brooks his favorite business book ever back in July, I figured he must have some deal with the publisher who was reprinting it. According to the Forbes article linked below, they

Single-payer isn't the only way to achieve this goal. How about medical insurance that isn't tied to employers? I'm not at risk of losing my car insurance just because I lost my job.

Perhaps you should amend your post to say "1. Most Germans wish to be useful...." The German culture tends to value hard work for the sake of hard work higher than other cultures. Even Americans don't glorify hard work for

I don't see how right-click and drag could possibly be natural or easy on anything but a mouse. Apple introduced multi touch to solve problems just like that.

I find your post ironic. You are excited (presumably) about Reddit and about the possibility that the community may be given the opportunity to own a piece of Reddit. Yet, you find the actions of the majority of the Reddit community "d
