"Trying to use technicalities to skirt the law rarely works out with any meaningful success." Sarcasm, correct?

Quit. There's sometimes very little you can do to change someones perspective on this (especially if they are a boss), and instead of trying to push and lose (because I'm not at their level), I ended up doing work on my own or contracting f

With yesterday's news that Google acquired Dealmap, it may get worse.

The fact that it's not as mainstream as Facebook or e-mail is not a relevant argument. It's like me saying Drake isn't mainstream because he's not as big as Michael Jackson. Twitter is mainstream. Besides celebrities and other public figure

That's not a fair analogy. The alternative to not having your leg amputated in given example is likely eventual spreading of a disease and death. With consumer goods and services often no one forces you to have to accept their changes. No o

On a related note, here is the process for making the titles. It's nominated for(and most likely to win) an Emmy. http://www.artofthetitle.com/2011/05/12/game-of-thrones/

Dramatic decisions are often criticized until people accept it and adapt. I remember reading about how consumers wouldn't be able to adapt to a touch screen phone that didn't have a keyboard option.

I would most likely use the full screen view as I never need the menu options anyway (it's also how I use Photoshop). I would likely switch back to Firefox if they executed this.

I wonder how many people who say this are the same people who'd pay for every one of the free services offered by these companies. I for one would rather have ads.

Great idea. Going to do the same.

The difference is that CouchSurfing has a giant button on the homepage that says, "is this safe?" that links to the safety page. It's also linked from the main nav. Airbnb has the safety page linked from the footer. Guess which one is going

Creatives also include illustrators, typographers, motionographers, musicians... they are mostly in Brooklyn. Physical media artists are still around, just further pushed to east in Bushwick and East Williamsburg, though I think quite a num

The differences between products within automotive, fashion, industrial, interactive, and applications design are often in the details. I'm very glad that people pay attention to the details. It makes the extra hours of polish worth it. And

"What the hell are you gonna do with 500k a year, anyway?" Buy a house? A car? Invest in your own future business? I agree with the sentiment of your post. I prefer earning less but working with intelligent, sensible people while also belie

Thankfully, Canadians working in the U.S. have a much easier time. Cost me less than $80 to get a work visa.

Yep, I'd say most creatives live in Brooklyn due to affordability. Over here, would an equivalent be Oakland?
