What would you recommend instead of Gmail? I am just looking for an alternative, but so far, only contender worth evaluating I found is Microsoft's live.com. I want IMAP, then having all my emails online (which means at least 5GB space), an

But Michael already has several investments in various companies, so what is the principal difference now? He kind of was a VC already, wasn't he? I am also not sure if TC will be the same without Michael. I personally don't think so, but w

No, that's unfair, he cares about it. Bud now the loser seems to be AOL...what prevents Mike to just take the core team with him and establish a brand new blog? Most TC readers will just move there and techcrunch.com becomes worthless insta

Which other company has all your info? Facebook doesn't have your searches, nor your emails.

Moving through the sections is ok, but reading an individual article is impractical, imho. There, I prefer the old way of scrolling through the whole article by mouse wheel...much more comfortable than using keys or clicking on small arrows

I don't, "Microsoft and Linux" is quite a precise description for many many years.

Not that I disagree with you, but I would still like to read some good explanation why breaking into a private house is equivalent to hacking a website.

I think Yes, C++ is the language of the future. It has several strong points, which are still relevant. Namely: 1. cross platform 2. the programmer can choose from several levels of abstractions, as appropriate for a particular project: low

I have the same impression about Evernote - I used Windows client, iPhone app, and online version (website), and all three kind of sucks (bloated UI, slowness...). I myself migrated to simplenote. It's more lightweight and text-only, but I

It takes just a few keystrokes to type "fundamentally flawed", but people seems to not agree whether that's really the case. So why do you think it is flawed?

Even if he is right and bitcoin shouldn't be considered a "currency", but rather an asset or a scam to enrich the early adopters, I think there is still a question I wrote above, namely, if it is worth to buy bitcoins for money now.

by greyman 15y ago
That was my first though - it's a nice idea, but came at least one year too late. Just yesterday, I ran miner through the www.bitcoinplus.com website, and on my regular PC machine it generated 0.002 BTC in 24 hours. I am afraid the bitcoin

It is actually a bunch of several blogs, not just one site. They were quite popular before the re-design. It's not an us-centric thing like the Super Bowl.

Finally some opinion I can agree with. I have a suspicion it's some perception thing, like the opinion leaders proclaimed that "Microsoft isn't innovative" and every media repeat that. Actually, Microsoft is an innovative company, and after
