I would like to ask, if someone can compare DropBox with Live Mesh. I tried DropBox in the past, but at that time it could not get over our company firewall. I use now Mesh with satisfaction, and just comparing the features, in Mesh I have

I think the original question is unanswerable, since Twitter is a different thing for different people, while the author focuses to just several use cases. I personally use Twitter mostly as a real-time search engine and it proven to be use

I have experience programming in large teams in both C++ (~10 years) and C# (~3 years), and my feeling is that the overall development is really quicker in C#. It's a large windows-only standalone app where speed is very important. But if m

Photobooth isn't a terribly bad name, but this service deserve something shorter and funnier. Youtube? That I think is a great name, instantly rememberable and fitting to the service.

Hi You might be somehow right in general sense, but this particular critique is uninformed. Darren is a well-known and successful blogger, and he also runs other blogs like Digital Photography School or Twitip. I think the reason he disclos

I had the same idea as vaksel. I am still a del.icio.us user, but the problem is, that Yahoo devs seems to not understand the product very deeply, since they did NOTHING to improve it, although a lot of work has been done. They just needles

I must say that I don't very much like the attitude of "we didn't figure out how to monetize and nobody wants to buy us, so we just shutdown". For another type of business it might not be such a problem, but for URL shortener, which creates

I think that from the very beginning, Yahoo was build as a destination website, and search was never their core business. It was a good move from their part to stop wasting money on search and focus on developing their content. The only thi

You are probably right. But there is another interesting question - is for-profit news aggregation, where you quote a part of the article, fair use? Bloggers do that, user-powered aggregator sites do that, but is it fair use? Because in mos

IMHO, Techcrunch's coverage of the Tech scene is not significantly worse comparing with the Tech coverage of mainstream media. TC is able to break stories, contact sources, etc. Sometimes their integrity is questionable, but I wouldn't say

Arrington seems to suggest that NYT's unprofitability is due to its size, and that when the executives salaries will be slashed, the much smaller company can fare better. But he fails to realize, that the most significant expenses are due t

I think those numbers from one website do not say much, because it really depends on the many factors. For example, here are my my stats (general news website, Europe): Firefox - 43.11%, IE - 42.29%, Opera - 9.63%, Chrome - 3.21%, Safari -

There certainly is a management bureaucracy in MSM, but this is not specific to the so-called old media. But I think there is yet a bigger expense - when you do original reporting or investigations, that will cost you a lot of money to do p

But still, it's like when I would steal your own belongings, then contact you and "talking to you directly" that I will return some of them back to you, and use others for my own benefit, even if it might do harm to you. We are still talkin

Yes, this is what Michael is pointing out and he is somewhat right. Otherwise, if something negative leaks out of the company, they might just call it confidential and nobody could publish it...

TC have been publishing good articles, mediocre articles and quite bad articles. But calling them failure is laughable, I think it's a result of envy combined with fear. TC is their serious competitor, and they know it. If for nothing else,

The author seems to see Chrome OS as just another linux distro, and asks why not to take Ubuntu and make it better. But I don't think that's the case. They will just take the Linux kernel and build browser-based OS, which will be quite a di
