It really took you this long to lose confidence in PayPal? The Regretsy & Diaspora account freezes are just the tip of an iceberg of consumer abuse whose girth spans over a decade now. The real question is this: Why is it that all consu

I can't seem to find references to this anymore, but I seem to remember that the doom3 source code was stolen and released in like '03 or '04. So if that's true then my response to this article is, "Again?".

You're half right. I'm more than happy to work myself for the bone, but I'm not willing to do it when I hold all the risk and others hold all of the upside. The thing about today's startups is that the founders hold zero risk, they get paid
