Or if they come up with something innovative, he can quickly copy it into FB.

Yes. I think the author's perspective was limited to reading Indian dailies, which he says have more breath but less depth. But I remember that before Internet days, there were high-quality weeklies and monthlies, which offered more depth t

I also think it is somewhat unfair. They have lot of money from their ads, so they can create product in another category (for example GPS), and offer it for free, while other companies who don't have those advertising dollars can't offer t

Nice. Now please allow ads displaying and your service will be perfect.

Yes that sounded a bit strange. On the one side, she says that they have a focus, but then she can't tell what that focus is.

I agree. I think the guy has a good character, but still, his situation was very special, here where I work I can't bring non-employee and show him what I do, that would violate a lot of internal rules.

I also suggest to just apply to more companies, for example try 10 at first and see what they told you. C# is pretty much in demand, so it should not be a problem to get a junior programmer job. But maybe don't be too romantic about a job i

If you don't plan to monetize and brand that forum, I think subreddit is the way to go.

I understand the Google's vision of OS-agnostic computer experience, but anyway, I fail to see how will Sergey solve the inherent problem that the native app programming will usually give the developer more possibilities. I still prefer the

I like that twitter stream, there is some poetry and uniqueness in it, and it can be even considered as a new literary genre. BTW, don't you know more sites like SMDS? (different content, some format).

MotherInLawPhotos.com - great case study. ;o)

Yes, in my opinion, that would be a privacy violation.

Hard to say...they wrote to "post on excerpts", but not "post excerpts". But obviously, what would Mike gain by only posting excerpt of the excerpt? Anyone can do that without asking permission from Fortune, it's just normal blogging practi

Yes. And what I consider even more interesting, IMHO, is that Google really became a company which is not indispensable (like for example 5 years ago when Google Search was de facto indispensable). Currently, if I must I can survive with Bi

Yes, I remember NYT also tried something like this with reddit. I think the main reason it didn't take off is that one single media entity just doesn't have that much interesting content to keep it vibrant enough.

I tend to like MG Siegler and Erick Schonfeld more, but admittedly overall TC editorial strength improved a lot during the last years. Oh...and Paul Carr, he's sometimes funny as well.

Yes it was interesting to watch how quickly his position crumbled. Overall, it seems to me like Anand is a more mature player and his win in this match was fully deserved. I am looking forward when some stronger player like Carlsen or even

Like you don't go to a pub to have a few beers with your friends, but exchange a few tweets and FG status update comments...

What you mean by contact Arrington? He is the author of that post...so no TC banning yet. ;)

Hmm..that's not very good, is it? I for one almost always open links this way...

Maybe I am a minority, but my eyes don't hurt...as a programmer, I am used to a computer screen. But it's true that i don't read for long periods of time, usually 1-2 hours, max 3. But reading 2 hours on my netbook is not a problem for me.

I was considering to buy one, but a big drawback for me is that I can't read on it in the dark, which is almost all my reading time - my wife sleeps next to me and I don't want to switch on the light, so I current use a netbook (where I can

That was my first thought as well - how do they know? But it's logical; I am an user of Kindle for PC software, which I have installed on 3 PCs, and their state is synced (like what book I read, which page etc). So logically the info must

And that is the joke itself, isn't it? The fun is in the fact that one can't tell whether it is meant to be serious or not.

The single reason that I choose gmail over desktop clients are the conversations - the ability to see all email bodies of one email exchange in a single page is indispensable for me. Another smaller reason is a search. If some desktop cli

Indeed. He might have been a decent man, but following the orders of a Bush administration basically ruined his credibility. In light of this, the quotes like "You don't know what you can get away with until you try" just doesn't taste that
