I think it's fantastic that you're encouraging them to do this--things will never get better without us chipping away at it, but also understand, too, how hard it is to be "confidently independent" when it comes to asking for recognition fo

I stopped reading the TC article when I hit the byline, having read her writing before. Kudos, I guess, for her omitting (or TechCrunch excising) the advice about how women who really want to succeed should get plastic surgery, focus less o

Yeah. The right time to exercise when a company is filing is like...a few years before, when the shares were pretty much imaginary and you weren't standing to be taxed for imaginary wealth (why I once agonized over buying 25 cent shares for

I voted three times...but this is missing a negative entry - you know, the scenario where you pay an obscene amount of taxes on the ridiculously inflated price of your shares when you exercise (and can't sell yet while awaiting a liquidity

Please, please, can an artist mock up a "Presenting the new Samsung Galaxy X" graphic post haste? Just the mental picture of the proposed redesign was snort-out-loud funny. Sharp corners, front surfaces with substantial adornment, and an of

Foursquare also beat feet to win the hearts and minds of small business owners - I've lost count of the number of bar and restaurant owners excitedly telling us about how the Foursquare rep came in to talk to them, pointing out the sign on

Good list. Would add: Does not include the names of any other competing platform (e.g., Android, Blackberry) in your description or inside the binary.

I think this is awesome, especially for those "Hey, watch this cool thing I broke" kind of bugs. And for all of those bugs that live in Mr./Ms. CLOSED-CANNOT-REPRODUCE's component. :) I still think clearly-written steps to reproduce win all

My Congressman sent me a form letter thanking me for sharing my feedback about an entirely different issue. I did include the bill numbers and titles, so you'd think an automated system would pick it up, but I guess they're going purely by

So I totally thought this was going to be something like "cat /dev/random >> /dev/input/event1" causes a kernel panic. ;) Much funnier that it's an actual fuzzy beast doing the fuzzing!

One real issue is that most users' LaTeX environments are highly customized and tweaked to our own liking. Even if it weren't absolutely nuts to put every-package-and-extension-known-to-man inside a iOS binary, it still wouldn't be right.

Coffee is for closers or something. We like to think that having money fixes things and we can just throw cash wildly into the air while making definitive exhortations and all will be well. We will be Gods or something! But unfortunately, i

Not at liberty to say. It does appear that Compete currently has a hole when it comes to divining mobile traffic.

Interesting - I saw the "Quicken Loans is an Intuit Trademark" scroll at the bottom of the screen during a commercial a few nights back and assumed there was an association past trademark. Wonder if other consumers jump to the same conclusi

Plus, Intuit's also using Fonzie to shill reverse mortgages to seniors these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CogQBgAFwI4 As a startup, I might want to steer clear of that particular borg unless prospects were truly dire.

Using Compete as a sole-source gauging a site's success is a problem. As a data point, their estimate of a site I run is 500x off.
