Some areas do lend themselves to the two-tier system more than others, so I am not sure open-source will continue to gain significant market through tiered payment levels. It works for enterprise offerings but not all open-source projects l

I think the subtitle gets to the heart of the issue: "How can a democratic republic function when the bureaucrats are constantly misleading the people?" It feels more and more like a deceptive charade that the US is actually a dem

I was just thinking zedbilling - it sounds close enough (to my american pronounciation) that most people won't even think you've changed your name. Then you can have a tagline like "all your billing solutions, from a to zed&q

Great point, but it is also quite easy to go too far in trying to factor out features that one should just build. I think we need a matrix equivalent to the recent xkcd http://xkcd.com/1205/ to inform decisions on when finding, integratin

It sounds like the article is saying that many photos will be automatically "orphaned"... Looks like there would be a ripe opportunity for an app (or at least a new feature from Instagram) that registers the IP for your photos automatically

At face value, it seems like this flies in the face of the commonly-held wisdom that regular patterns of sleep (as well as eating and other habits) help minimize depression over time. It seems like the research is actually referring to the

I wonder how many of the purchases were "revenge" - it seems to be that most years there is an aggressive social media campaign for anyone BUT the latest X-factor star. I know in 2011 there was definitely a big push for anything but the JLS

Why is it either/or? Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 depicts a dystopian future full of both bookburning and constant information. I think Huxley and Orwell both had it right (though the authoritarian disinformation and suppression of informa

To be fair it's not really that much more impractical than driving a HUM-V around in urban areas (which is frighteningly common), and definitely way cooler! Does it have a built-in telescoping ladder - that could actually be quite a lot mor
