I sometimes make the joke with my business friends "What type of Office suite are you?". Because all their jobs basically come down to Excel, Word and PowerPoint, or a combination of all three. Those tools are still used big time in the bus

This can happen to any web site that allows user generated content. How come we don't see Youtube, Yahoo, Facebook suspended? Do they have procedure in place? Does that mean that you're much weaker if you're small? What are the legal safe

wow thanks for the list. So mostly US organizations. Could the design be better if we had to rewrite it today? Any plans to include other countries (China etc.)?

I am used to it. It is a terminology shortcut to qualify people's actions. You'll find that from a lot people coming from universities. They tend to compare themselves a lot and use statistical horizontal comparisons. If not from HR, it is

Path should come up with a Privacy Protection Program that commit them not to repeat their mistake. It's too easy to do something and ask for forgiveness later on. That would distinguish themselves from Facebook's way of doing things.

This is clearly of lost opportunity to position Path as the "trusted network" against Facebook.

3.4% of your life is not much if you get Facebook equity and end up with millions. The hardest part - I think - is that you are not assured at all to get rich. You might end up spend 3.4% of your life to buy you a new car and that's it.

Most of the times doing bad things do not yield more results than doing good things, and highly increase your risk. Attacking a competitor's site is a sure loss for the perpetuator, in my opinion.

Nimblebit team is 3 people, Zynga is 2,800 strong. There's a disadvantage that makes the ripoff harder to fight. Plus, Zynga sues when they think they get copied ( http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/16/war-zynga-sues-the-hell-out... ). There's a

I wonder: when did Anonymous prepare this attack? They are very efficient at pointing LOIC and all other weapons to the targets they want in a couple of hours. Were they waiting for the next event to happen?
