beyond mlia, http://www.givesmehope.com looks like it's trying to the opposite of FML. Not to say that competition should be a hindrance, but I think its worth looking at these when comparing. Also, somewhat tangential, FYML is in urbandi

If 15-20% of top companies are using twitter for customer service, that is a tremendously good thing. To frame it another way, if you told a startup that 15% of top companies would be using their startup for customer service within a few ye

I find that I'm able to consume all of the media I need to on except for Microsoft Silverlight content like Netflix and the Feynman Lectures. The bigger pain for me is that there's no iTunes or Adobe design products. I'm not sure if there

I recall reading somewhere that some of the better font hinting algorithms are patented such that its tough for linux distros to make them as pretty. My pie-in-the-sky hope is that the knight in shining Google armor comes in and buys some o

Yeah, it definitely can't be broken by default like that. And I don't really see a need for the "applications, places, & system" menu if they can be reduced to one button to make room. Makes me wonder if there may be an auto-hide dock o

I've always put those in the same bar, reducing the ubuntu menu to just an icon (instead of the separate applications, places, & system) in a setup similar to Windows, with open windows in between the application launcher button (start

The thing that immediately sticks out to me is that the bottom gnome panel is no longer there. Up until now, default ubuntu (and gnome) setups have had one panel at the top and another at the bottom, and the first thing I'd do on a system

No, I've decided that it doesn't make sense for me right now. When I stopped working at at a law firm, my cobra payments were $600/month. Since the law firm ceased to exist (heller ehrman), even the option to even pay $600/month for that pr

Can we at least agree that the $150 is very reasonable relative to what the worst offenders of this practice charge? If you get 100 applications and can only take 5 in an OAF event, there are still 95 other candidates of which some might fi

The correct order is Linux, OSX, FreeBSD: "Rob, Ken, Dave, and I use Macs as our desktop machines, but we're a bit of an exception. Most Google engineers use Linux machines, and I know of quite a few ex-Bell Labs people who are happy to be

I think the model is sound as well but the prices are a bit expensive and its all-or-nothing. I'd love some sort of micropayment option per interview. At his cheapest option, $25/month, that's either $300/year for interviews, which is over

The thing that has disappointed me about Evernote forever is their complete and total lack of Linux support. This is a product that has Palm Pre and Windows Mobile clients but for whatever reason has decided that developing a Linux client

I don't know if you need to change much Andrew -- there is nothing factually incorrect or misleading about your headlines. Perhaps the same "unfunded startup makes it big anyway" formula is overused but its a damn good formula and there's

to go back and correct myself: a friend made clear to me that porn sites play video on the iphone already, via a quicktime player that loads up when you click on many videos.

In chrome, I have unchecked "always show my bookmarks toolbar" such that my home screen is my top-8 as well as my bookmarks toolbar. I use it all the time if I want to recycle a tab instead of opening a new one.

You still need to get the application on the iphone somehow, and there's no indication this can happen through Safari. If anything, this is a good argument for the controversial "walled garden" approach Apple has taken to date. Also, its w
