Replace "labels" with "networks," and "Spotify" with "Hulu," and we've read this story 100 times. It hasn't really ever worked out for them.

Thats less than half of the equation. They still have to get the signal to a transcoder, transcode the stream, store it on a "personal DVR" for each customer, and then stream it to you.

Reading that makes me wonder how they actually make any money. $8 a month per subscriber seems pretty low for the hardware and bandwidth involved per stream. Even if you count on only a certain percentage of people watching at any given ti

Original title of this submission "Dropbox's Condoleezza Rice advocating for warrantless NSA surveillance" is more than a little dishonest. The article is talking about statements she made on TV in 2005. That is bad enough,

That's what it can lift, not what it can hold. In your scenario someone would have to sit on the desk and then try and raise it.

A few years is an eternity, its not like they have to keep burning through $100m a year until they either "win" or run out of cash, they could easily scale back on their customer acquisition spend and extend their timeline. I thin

The answer call screen that only requires a tap and not a swipe is only used when the phone is unlocked, which is how it worked in 7.0 as well. A locked phone still requires a swipe to answer the call

That is only if the FBI holds onto them forever. However, unless something has changed, I was under the impression that they plan on auctioning them off just like any other seized asset http://www.forbes.com/sites/kash

Could not agree more. You are not thinking of firing your co-founder, you are thinking of divorcing him. No matter what its going to be messy, and you need to be absolutely sure its worth going down that road before you do it.
