A founder's visa should be opened up to a class of people. In this beta testing case, it would be open to a class of people who get selected with YC or are interested in YC. That's a very limited view from a governance perspective

Thank god none of you are in charge. Just kidding or am I? Elop played the game straight forward. Forking is a half baked option and when you are leveraging your company, forking is not an option. You need full scale OS support and that mea

Not yet. They need to beat Lumia 520's price. Agreed, the specs are higher but most people in that space don't care.

First off, MS's answer to the question is more than enough - "We appreciate Bloomberg’s foray into fiction and look forward to future episodes". Three unnamed people? Really? Sherlund is an idiot. The proposition, if you ask

There are reasons for MS not auto updating IE and leaving update settings to system admins. SAP in my company works only for IE9. One cannot simply drop whatever it is and start working on bug fixes for IE10/11, Firefox and Chrome, irr

Added to the fact that people coming from India and China don't have options like DV list, O1 and are sort of ill-treated and are looked down upon, etc., - I owe a lot of gratitude to the outsourcing and loan staff boom. Thanks Infosys

True. Nonetheless, I find myself a bit disappointed. At this point, the only thing iPad has is a first mover's advantage aka the App Store. There are very compelling alternatives available in both 7 inch and 10 inch range with interest

Of course they are afraid. 97% of their revenues were/are from search and nothing else. So, from their perspective, increasing the medium through which their search function is accessed is pretty damn high. You can see it in their targ

Why on earth would anyone combine PwC with Infosys and Wipro? Infosys and Wipro represent the lesser expensive labor band while PwC is a true accounting and consulting firm. Consulting in this context is so muddled up. True Consulting: McKi

It is quite an irony. If an engineer were to come across a "Jobs" like character, he/she would ignore him/her for the most part. This makes it harder for a "Jobs" like character to make a breakthrough to big st

I wonder what the impact would be across the different types of startups. I see this as a boon for foreign entrepreneurs but there are associated downsides as well. For one as an example, if you are planning to start a service based start-u

If all the decisions were based on users, the company will never be able to define the future. I think we clearly see that in product failures/criticisms - even the new Xbox backlash for MSFT. Consumers are fickle. They never like dras

Well, I used it in a casual way for making it seem like an obvious decision - the perception having been part of my opinion. Please allow me to correct myself - Most people wouldn't have taken the bet nor have the insight to do so. Ste

Opinion: RT was an interesting strategy and most people in Steve Ballmer's shoes would have taken the same bet. It came at a time when Microsoft didn't have a tablet to compete with iPad. So, what did they do? They converted their

Without sounding like a fan boy, I would actually recommend you to go give WP a try. I am not going to say it's better than iOS for lacking quality apps but it's way better than my Nexus 4. Android to me is the poorest OS amidst t

True - I doubt that any of the hardware manufacturers for Android have the technology to top what Nokia did with Lumia 1020. Nokia is completely invested in camera unlike HTC, Samsung, Motorola etc.,

Depends on the situation. In a pool environment, always look for objects to throw. These include tubes, life hooks if available. In case you can't reach the victim, swim towards the victim (but don't reach the victim) with these o

Microsoft actually ended up learning from Google and Apple by coming in late. I think they went for an intermediary between Apple's cohesive ecosystem and Google's open ecosystem. Agreed, they had their own Windows PC OS distribution as a m

Isn't that Microsoft is attempting with Windows Phone? The differentiation is based on applications while the base functionality remains the same.
