Ok, here is how it works. Many "real blogs" have an agenda. They don't need ads. Maybe it's a friend's product they review, or an opinion they post, as long as they have an influence on you, ads aren't needed. Ads are for when your audience

Geeks optimize everything. 99$ extra for Win (esp. if you don't use it) is 99$ wasted. Many of us are also finicky about taking a stand. A thousand geeks saying no to 99$ extra is a lot of money and a community in itself.

Would have been easier for them to allow people to say no to Windows when they buy the laptop, rather than do polls and other stuff. I would be interested in: a) easier windows refunds and b)GNU-Linux compatible specs.

Didn't work so well for us. My boss ended up hiring someone a team-member recommended off of LinkedIn. The new guy pretty much ended up making the team go bust because of stuff he did with clients. I later enquired with the guy who recommen

Hmm, having handled some of these assignments, I would say it's not done to increase billing hours. People keep their traps shut for two reasons: deeply hierarchical Indian org structures that don't tolerate opinion, and wanting to reduce f

A bunch of reviews that state screen area and DPI would out this crappy practice. Hardware reviewers and magazines should take note. Reviewers have more of an influence on people's buying choices than one thinks. It's sad that many if not m

Very to the point. I got in the wrong way, I am a startup marketer currently in a large company, and trust me it's nuts. The one thing people think about last is selling. Everything is about the running political score and I just don't get

All governments behave similarly. There really isn't much of a difference between governments anywhere. Democracy the way it is today doesn't seem to be run by the people. TV, media, Money, and pure force, that's government for you.

I am fed up of stupid HR guys coming up with shortcuts/models to the hiring process that just don't work well.

This could finally mean freedom from ICANN and any other controlling authorities. Somehow this needs to have domain identity verifying mechanisms as well.
