The biggest reason why I believe movie revenue is dropping is the ability for anyone to pick up a camera (high tech low cost now), create a movie, and upload it to the eyes of many people (like on youtube). Because of this, there are just

Continue to better your programming skills, it's a challenging but worthwhile endevour. Being as though I was in the same boat as you (and my programming skills are still laughable!), what I found to be really helpful is while you're learn

I totally agree with you. The real story here is that a large player in the internet (self proclaimed "World's #1 Domain registrar") crossed the line--to the "good side", therein lending more power to the cause of stopping this thing.

I can't believe all the hate going on. They publicly admitted they were wrong and changed their stance. I don't care if you are a gigantic corporation or not, that takes guts and I can at least respect that. There's no doubt they did it to

"but no one who still has a domain at GoDaddy will be entitled to complain about SOPA if it passes." I was going to complain about this sentiment from someone not that rich and who can't afford the fanciest red polo shirts money can buy ha

I think one way to look at the issue of piracy is to think of it like smoking in that it affects the utility of society--it's a cultural issue that has to be handled by the law but more importantly the newer generations. You can't just "sto

Hey Pradeep, I know this is not super constructive, but I really dig this new app. It's quite useful and it looks great. This might be a dumb question, but why did you cap the "large batch" of photo files at 20? 5 times the Apple default i

I wonder if there's an age and cultural divide when assessing trolls on the internet. I say this in that reading the post, and then the comments from you all-- I see a bit of disparity between philosophies. I mean, for the most part I thin

This attitude also exists in other industries[1], and while it is shifty, it's relatively common to the degree where it's not even given a second thought or whimper. This to me is quite unfortunate, especially considering where I am in my

I think an idea might be worthless, but a good idea holds tremendous value. Maybe not monetarily, but in the sense that one good idea can rally other people around you to join the cause and spend their precious time and money (along side y

This is off topic but people are discussing Amazon and shipping so I figured I'd ask this here, because it's always confused me. Why do so many American based companies refuse to ship to Canada or limit what they do ship to Canada (Amazon,

Here's an interesting question, how much have load times changed since the introduction of these bars (I know they've been present for a while) including this new iteration? Wasn't it always one of the major points of concern for Google t

For me, design needs to be taken into consideration from all sides. Technical, creative, everything needs to be put together just right for a project to take off--being good in all fields is a competitive advantage. Design in the sense tha

You mentioned Toronto, do you think the immigration policy has had a gigantic boon for the country, or for Toronto? I'm really just curious. As a young Albertan, still living and breathing here, I question how well the 'cultural mosaic' ha

Don't you think a bigger problem is that it's too much of a psychological hurdle for non-technical adopters? Try explaining the concept of bitcoins to most people and they'll become more hesitant, confused or even fearful than interested.

I'm against crazy government control as much as the next guy, but is creating a decentralized system in this manner really the answer to this problem? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I am just really curious. There seems to be a big decen

This is quite off topic but because of how well known 'The Game' is, it should never be used as a how-to as it once was but more of an inside look at what such a life entails. Quite a few girls have read such books, and actually look out f

I have to agree with you in a sense that this is a social problem (but of course that's what's interesting with graph integration and social media now). As a guy who took Attraction classes (or PUA training as some might know it) and creat

The fall of the iconic SF Yahoo billboard seems to have done some major foreshadowing-- it really does look like it's an end of an era for Yahoo.

Selection is a big reason for this. There are so many good games popping out each and every week, and I have certainly found myself unable to keep up with the supply--I think a lot of people get that, "I've got to play this game because it'

"Video games of any type are not good for kids. Not because of violence, sex and other things. It is because they don't go out to socialize. My theory is that instead of limiting "what to watch / play", parents should more focus on limiting

This is not directly correlated to PicPlum, which sounds like a really cool idea by the way, but from my perspective and what I'm seeing in terms of internet privacy--It wouldn't surprise me if people started taking a step back in terms of

The Patent system isn't that bad, it's just a little broken; the issue is the application. If the main requirements were more thoroughly followed and processed (the idea of inventing something new, useful, etc) there wouldn't be a problem.

While I think it's great to stay in the rhythm of things and really get your interview skills down pat, to me the idea of applying for a job when you don't need one is a bit arrogant and selfish. In the grand scheme of things you took a po
