IANAL, IANAA, etc. The year before I went back to school, I actually had negative income -- my business expenses exceeded my income, as I spent money on a startup that never went anywhere. It's best to talk to an accountant who can file fo

I've been in the market for an apartment in Mountain View (and recently leased one), and found that it is almost impossible to find an apartment building (run by management) that doesn't get horrible reviews on ApartmentRatings.com. Which

I love the implementation . . . I feel like this is a much more likely winner than the solutions that require you to house your phone in some sort of RFID-enabled case. Not sure how they are getting away with charging merchants only 1% + 30

This has been a major issue recently, and Radley Balko of the libertarian-themed Reason magazine has done a great job covering the issue (from the pro-taping side, anyway), viz.: http://reason.com/archives/2010/09/20/how-to-record-the-cops

Gmail sometimes does this when a message is reported as spam. It will ask if you want gmail to attempt to automatically unsubscribe you. I assume that the emailer provides some sort of header info to gmail that allows it to do that, perha

Prepurchases? Pretty sure that could be the problem - - PayPal doesn't permit charging someone for goods that aren't going to ship immediately.

There is an active FTC investigation into the terms of the developer agreement, I believe. No idea if it was a direct influence on the change.

I saw it on a few tech sites (AppleInsider, Gizmodo, etc.) this morning, but linked to the source, since most of their articles were just a copy & paste of the Apple press release.

Will be interesting to see if Adobe's program to port flash-to-iOS 5, which was to be included in CS5, is a go again.

You say this, but isn't this exactly what cable is? Only instead of $10 it's $70+ a month? Maybe you won't, but lots of people will.

He talks about the iPhone as though it costs $199 and doesn't have a service contract associated with it. Of course, the real cost is more like $599+. Makes for a bad comparison, and kind of defeats his argument.

Reminds me of Zingermans in Ann Arbor, where Ari & company have turned a deli into a deli, baking classes, creamery, cheese-making demos, business training center, restaurant, dinner events, etc. For every new business Zingermans opens

The guy who made it, Gary Hustwit, also made one called Helvetica, which is very very good, and is making a third (and final in the "series") called Urbanized, about urban design: http://www.objectifiedfilm.com/blog/the-next-film-urbanized

I definitely like this theoretical approach over the Google TV approach, which requires you to be hooked into either Dish TV or to control your cable box with an IR blaster. There's something about that that feels very first edition TiVo;

Actually, though - - there it was a tax law aimed directly at the press, but only at press who earned over a certain amount of money. This law is aimed at anyone, so at that level of abstraction, Minneapolis Star probably wouldn't be viola
