Adobe owns their product space, at least since they bought Macromedia 10 years ago. So, customers since have been angry about the lack of features--but its just a business outcome. Bitter, bitter, customers.

I'm not sharp enough to tell if this is a joke/parody site. He has the 'social media' stats in this weird prominent sidebar, which makes me think this is some kind of experimental-art piece critiquing social media.

The guys that started Google came from Stanford, the Facebook guy, Harvard. The Dropbox guys, MIT. Is there someone who went to Bunker Hill Community College or its many equivaltents who was able create a majorly disruptive business? I don&

“As a result, barriers to entry that have stood for decades are melting away. Every incumbent business is vulnerable to competition and disruption.” Upper middle class dudes from elite academic institutions create businesses. What's th

In 1994, a chemistry professor told me with a grave expression, that "we have more than enough coal to destroy the world." My current concern is that we're now in a gold rush to extract fossil fuels before it inevitably must

Probably the coolest antique military vehicle available for $9k USD, depending upon where you live, would be one or more horses.

I'll take my down votes I guess, but the road trip I would love to take wouldn't be in an antique military vehicle.

For $9k one could do a lot of amazing things...travel the world, not just tourist crap but visit amazing places...you could seed some kind of business...you could just help someone in need...or you could buy obsolete military equipment. I&#

I knew about the vitamin studies previously, and I also, from experience discussing it with friends, know how upset people become. Its really something people want to believe in.

Nikon also uses Sony chips, even in their flagship cameras. The value added by the brand is presumably the lens mount/lens compatibility, controls etc. I continue to use Nikon products because they have maintained some consistency with

I work in Cambridge, and feel that your description isn't a bug, its a feature. Great cities generally have a dynamic mix of people.

I think in a lot of environments, it was fed to animals. So, its kind of brilliant to repackage it for humans to eat directly.

I go to places like this when I'm NYC, which has been a few times in the last year. Its probably Katz's Deli or Grimaldi's pizza or similar. Its one of those destination restaurants where you send a pic of yourself eating to

A grocery store I visit has recently ended their loyalty card program. My assumption is that they're doing what you describe, and don't care much about the few people who pay cash. Tracking itemized purchases is probably critical

Hopefully they adopt Reddit's pattern of constant tweeking and improvement. Reddit now has a significant track record of adapting to the harsh comment environment that is the open internet, and it works surprisingly well.

This article moves towards, but doesn't really get to the fact that mice are, for may intents and purposes, over. Mobile gestures are now expected on the desktop...so trackpads are the state of the art.

Another way of looking at it is that the delivery horizon is too long. In six months there will be other similar products announced and probably released. I fell like 2015 so so far out that the value of pre-order as a forecasting tool is m

It took me a second to think through the premise that $600 dollar shoes might make economic sense. My guess is that people who wear $600 shoes don't walk to work, or really walk much of anywhere, at least not in their $600 shoes. So, t

If their tech sector really has tilted strongly towards resource extraction it might be a sign that Norway isn't avoiding 'resource curse'. Helping other countries extract fossil fuels more quickly might well exacerbate the

Facebook's breakup of the big blue app into messaging and perhaps in the near future other specialty apps seems like part of the same phenomenon. Google+ is actually ahead of that curve because the Google identity is only becoming more

I'm interested in the technical aspects too. The Lytro website and Engadget article have very little detailed information. Plenoptic cameras aren't a new idea...so why don't Canon and Nikon have products in this category? As

There seems to be a big horrible cycle here. I attended VMWorld last year in San Francisco and was shocked by how many booths were staffed by attractive women who where just hired as like, temps or something. They were aggressively friendly

The CPI is an average based on a somewhat arbitrary bundle of goods which individually vary in price. People are used to the price of internet services declining over time (e.g. Google drive pricing), but Amazon prime incorporates things li

The reason light rail makes sense, at least in Portland, Oregon is that its cheaper per ride to operate. Personally, I would rather ride MAX than a bus. http://trimet.org/about/dashboard.htm#efficiency

When I first clicked the link, I was hoping it would be something like Linux From Scratch. That however, would be a completely different class. More like math-for-future-mathematicians vs. math-for-future-engineers. I wonder if LFS could be

Yeah, this is what happened. I supported Quark users at the time, and everyone was just surprised and confused. In contemporary terms, it would be as if Zynga didn't ship Farmville for iOS 7 and everyone had to switch to something else
