Economics is the wrong reason to go to college. If you go to college to learn you'll be in much better shape. Even if you study basket weaving.

If I had student debt I'd be thrilled not to pay it back. This country needs a general debt strike or perhaps a jubilee.

Glad to see interest in the idea. It's not much different from what people have been doing with projects like http://couchapp.org or http://unhosted.org/ for some time. Once you have a basic HTTP database API, you can do most of an app

For use cases where it's very important that users be able to read (and write) regardless of connection status, it makes a huge difference to have transparent sync. As far as ease of writing apps (and maintaining them), time will tell, some

Speed, battery-life, ease of programming are 3 of the main reasons we are motivated to build a Couch-compatible storage and sync layer on the device. If you have an intelligent sync solution, you can use significantly less radio time to pre

I'm not a lawyer, but my guess is that if you could get a request like this in writing, the right lawyer would be able to get you a hefty settlement under existing law. Just guessing, but I'd be surprised if it's legal to ask prospective em

Agree. It might be a crime to comply with this request. Given that it can be a crime ("hacking") to break TOS. Catch-22 Update: 2 of the comments on the ACLU article say this also. I'm surprised this line of reasoning isn't more prominent o

This is really scary. Maybe not for hackers, but for people who can't afford to say no. If someone asked me for this I'd get them to put it in writing and then take it to a lawyer to see what kind of punitive damages I could recover. Seriou

Interesting to note that they are going for a web-site first strategy. I've been waiting for things like this (basic data entry, search, etc) to move to a mobile first strategy. At least for this use case, we aren't there yet.
