If people are going to go to the Walmart to buy new games anyway, why wouldn't the indie store them as well? Even if the prices are a little higher, wouldn't the convenience of not having to go somewhere else make up for it?

Yeah, really. It was a real bandwagon of righteous indignation.

I understand your sentiment, but if you think that this wouldn't occur in many communities that have a large base of users, you are off base. I don't just mean places like 4chan- have you ever read comments on Youtube videos?

I don't really see how this would define how people see the company behind Justin.tv at all. You would have to find a pretty delusional person to claim that IRC had its reputation sullied by Brandon Vedas when he did the same thing a few ye

I'm always amazed how many people buy into that idea- do you really think that Reagan knew all along that it was a ploy to run the Soviet economy into the ground? SDI was a huge wealth transfer to the defense industry. The fall of the Sovie

These books are only slightly better than telling someone to read Who Moved My Cheese or Good to Great. You should read great books because you want a different perspective and will hopefully be entertained; don't read a book because you th

The organization by relevance is interesting, but through some test searches I did, the more obscure the search, the less this helps. Basically, for something with a Wikipedia/Facebook/Myspace/official site it looks nice. However, for somet

But if you are a lone suicide bomber, getting caught IS the worst consequence (dying when you explode your bomb is optimal.) Rather than achieving your goal, in the worst case scenario, you're caught and prevented from being able to attempt

Nice article. I'm still surprised that institutional investors were fooled, even despite the Bberg story- that's the kind of thing a portfolio manager might react to quickly, but also get some color from a broker or specialist who handles U

I guess mirroring the OP, I like this concept behind C02Stats, but I am very curious as to how this is precisely calculated (or even roughly estimated.) Do CO2Stats know the power grid the servers are on? How do they account for the dispari
