The more _____ in the room, the less comfortable I feel. For me, the operative word would be suits. Suits are what make me uncomfortable. Any events that encourage wearing of clothes that require dry cleaning, formalities, pretentious t

Inclusive of taxes, that's a biggie. The net effect, inclusive of taxes, really wouldn't have put Yahoo! in a much more favorable position or made it any more liquid. As the article states, "Yahoo reiterates that the deal would have added

If food is expensive, sellers will transport it even at great cost in order to reap the profits Maybe too general of a statement to draw any definitive conclusions; it's really interesting how the cost of transport is a major underlying f

Good read. My take would be that Apple is like Nike. In grad school, one of my professors said that Nike isn't actually in the business of making shoes; it's in the business of marketing. Makes sense. Advertising and celebrity athlete e

Interesting, but quite a bit late to the school of thought involving cloud computing. While I hope that Microsoft does begin to transfer more of its services to the open web and that it begins to embrace more open standards, I also hope tha

Probably not. Keeping the drinking age at 21 doesn't deter minors from drinking, but keeps the legal ramifications severe, especially for minors who drink and drive. Besides, 18 year-olds typically have just 2 years or less of legal drivin

Yes. Though I would hesitate to endorse a particular degree of "added value" from an ivy-league branded MBA. Do a simple cost-benefit analysis. It occurred to me, during graduate studies for my MBA (at a lovely state University, thank you

Assuming that by "skimp on" you mean "spend sparingly on a necessity," I'll preemptively refrain from rambling about what's probably not necessary for a tech startup. Of course, one of my new hobbies, since making the voyage out here, has b

Interesting question. I think the "lack of identity" to which you refer has greatly contributed to the rise of Telecom and Internet giants. Also has it likely played a significant part in the erosion of Net Neutrality. There are still fa

"HTML is a leveler for a lot of people, and it helps designers and developers actually work together, instead of being limited . . . " Precisely. It used to annoy me when people would ask me what language I "program in". I've since learne

Glad I found this thread. Didn't realize it existed at the time of my original suggestion http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=156530 for an optional dark skin. Anyway. Here is the style made specifically for the Stylish addon in Fx, as

I see an emerging market demand for a quality manufactured version of the infrared LED pen, as demonstrated, for use with the inexpensive interactive whiteboard.

Thank you. Even though it seems to do what it aims to do well, its ultimate goal == to sell advertising by creating sensationalist headlines and feeding the egos of people who have (or who nurture through Valleywag mentions) a grotesque van

There are hybrids. Talent at one does not imply a mutually exclusive lack of talent for the other. Perhaps we were an exception in the past, but students who are savvy at both business and technical things are becoming increasingly more c

My advice is contrary to what most people here are saying: avoid both the headhunter firm, and companies that utilize headhunter firms. To begin, there's a _reason_ they're "all over you." I know and have been there, too, sometimes gettin

Quote: "MySpace is a great example of this. I'm pretty sure that their custom profile page layouts were an accident. They didn't know enough to properly escape the text that people put on their profiles, and that allowed their users to star
