Richard Mlynarik is a hacker with a deservedly excellent reputation. And sometimes he has a sharp tongue which in context can be both enjoyable and terrifying. But here's the important part for entrepreneurs: what percentage of users of moz

I wanted to see the images and video from a procedure I had, and I wanted to give them to another doctor. The provider told me to drive on over (about 20 miles) and pick up a CD. I asked if they could upload it to Google Health. They respon

I haven't even received my notice that there was a security breach to begin with. I wonder if Dropbox lists on its balance sheet a teflon shield, or jobsian field of distortion generator....
