Sure, but once you upgrade to a certain point, your browser should update itself automagically. I know for sure that Chrome auto-updates, as does (I think) IE9. So once that initial investment has been made, this argument doesn't hold

It's a shame that a company even need to write an article like this. The venture backed economy in most technology companies really warps pricing models and allows companies with huge funding to disregard the actual 'making money&

Good idea. Takes ages to load though! A screenshot, logo and short description of the startup would be better I think.

Not all organisations would feel comfortable hosting their code on GitHub. I can see large companies or those with sensitive code preferring to keep their source code in-house

Tells me basically nothing about the product. Wants email address. I see this trend far too often.

This is a great idea but I don't think it could work. My immediate tactic was to put in 10 dollars each time until I saw the price dropping barely any lower. It wouldn't take a non-technical person long to realise this aswell, so

Just because someone is from India, it doesn't mean they know everything about (incredibly diverse) cultures from every other country on the same continent. It's like asking an American of the culture of Brazil.

TechCrunch is the kind of site read by indie start up kids and just peddles crap about whichever startup is hot or 'crunching it' that week. Same goes for Mashable. I used to read both for a while before realising it was all mostl

For a permanent employee, don't forget the employer NI contributions, pension, paid holiday, possibly maternity pay, expenses, etc. So maybe the total cost for a permanent employee would be 40-50% of the contracter

I agree. The amount that law enforcement in the US seem to get away with is quite staggering. I can understand the night prison officers actions a bit better than the arresting officers, as from their perspective, everyone they have in the

It's interesting that Facebook and Amazon have a terrible experience for blind users, considering their wealth of resources. I imagine it is common knowledge among blind users to expect the mobile site to perform better, if the desktop

"What does it represent? Does it mean, given the opportunity, I'd lean low, and they'd lean high, in an effort to pull the numbers in a selfish direction? Maybe." Not maybe. Obviously. Obviously, no matter how close knit

This whole debate centers on the fact that the website is at fault, and that is something everyone has pretty much already decided. The father of the victim has claimed the owners of ask.fm should be charged with murder, which is just ridic

Well ideally, you'd buy it because it's something you can't live without, so you'd bring it with you, and leave some extra space in your bag for such things, or jettison something which you deem less valuable.

Agreed. Take as little as possible and if you really feel you need something, you can buy it locally (often for much cheaper). It makes you realise how few things you need in life, and how much crap you end up buying back home.

Bethnal Green isn't exactly a lovely place to live. It's saving grace is it's proximity to central London/Shoreditch, but there's nothing stand-out about it at all. It seems like no one respects it - every day I walk home from the station p

Agreed. I'm from UK and the same is true here. People make friends by doing things together, and spending time together doing similar activities, e.g. working in an office, playing football, going to school/uni together. Finding someone ran

Interesting idea, but it requires quite a major lifestyle change for the user. It is the type of service that takes time for people to adjust to. I wouldn't be surprised if it took you (or a competitor) a couple of years to get a decent amo

Everyone, please stop. Seriously, stop. How many more of these things do we need? "Find people nearby with similar interests", sounded like a semi-decent premise 3 or 4 years ago, but no one did it well enough to reach a critical mass, and

I like the term "minimum desirable product". Minimum viable product suggests something that barely works, while minimum desirable product alludes to something people actually want.

I think the poster wanted to show the contrast between a series of coordinated attacks across Iraq which have killed many and 2 explosions in Boston killing 3. Both are obviously terrible events, but one got more attention by a factor of at
