   For the record: Apple, off the top of my head, is in the business of consumer hardware, professional hardware, accessories, consumer software, productivity software, consumption software, cloud storage, communications, and eCommerce platfor

   I absolutely disagree. In recent years, I've found that The Onion has tightened up their news cycle considerably; they're addressing current events with more vigor and volume than ever without sacrificing their wit.

   Is your definition of 'worth' based on market cap? I'd imagine the enterprise value of the two companies tell a different story (though I've heard some dark news about Sony in recent years, aren't they still postin

   I have absolutely no reason to ever use this but I'm absolutely going to throw money at the author because I'm a sucker for pixel art and this looks incredible. (I spent like five minutes staring at the zombie .gif, slackjawed.)

   Interesting price point; it seems to be in a no-mans land where developers who can pay $300 would probably be in a position that they'd want to implement it themselves, yet it might be prohibitively expensive for smaller clients who&#x

    I'd follow that with: For tech businesses, "there's an API for that". For 90% of the other businesses, "what's an API?" There's a vast amount of value to be captured by adding pleasant and easily us

    I agree that venture capitalists passing on great businesses because they're "lifestyle ventures" or whatever the politically correct phrasing is is an issue, but that doesn't seem to be the case here? EverPix wasn&#x27

    This is the absolute definition of a nitpick, but JSNES is a fairly bad name, seeing as the successor to the NES was the SNES.

    I'd hesitate to blame the author for the issues that arose with the project, as the larger issues lie with Elance (et al)'s feedback mechanism. It should be reasonable to assume that someone with, say, a 4.8/5 rating is a ste

    Another fun angle to look at fantasy football is to apply financial concepts to it. For example, I have Tony Romo and Dez Bryant on my team, who are the QB and WR for the Cowboys and if one puts up a bunch of points, the other will as well,

    A more charitable way of phrasing your point: devoting resources open source provides a lot of value for a company, particularly ones not technically associated with buzztech (so either fledgling webdev shops or older/more conservative

    Every single part of that statement is false. Your programmers should be worrying about how large their code is. If they're not, and your competitors are, then your competition will release a program that does everything your program

    Was about to write a comment along the lines of: "Beautiful site, looks awesome, but at an initial glance it doesn't tell me why I'd choose it over something like OpenStreetMap." Is there any reason for the split in name

    Alternatively, if I just learned that a government did something that I strongly disagreed with, I'd probably be able to internalize the reality that the government is pretty big and that its probably better to vocally critique some as

    Anecdotal and not super pertinent, but joke Twitter accounts can absolutely net $10,000 a week. There are glorified bots (think something along the lines of @MensHumor or @YaBoyBillNye) with hundreds of thousands of followers that sell adv

    In the past 24 hours, three companies had IPOs: Brixmor Property Group ($BRX) sold 41.25m shares at $20. Criteo ($CRTO) sold 8.1m shares at $31. Surgical Care Affiliates ($SCAI) sold 9.8m shares at $24. These three companies, in aggregate,

    Picking the winner of the battlefield startup competition should be free of any influence of non-editorial people and judges. I'd argue it's rather hypocritical of Michael to talk about 'influence' when his venture cap

    I certainly hope you are correct (and would believe you to be), I just have zero domain knowledge of the law in this scenario and wanted to resist making such an assertion.

    The precedent of such a suit would be staggering; I can't count on two hands the number of major Internet companies that derive the vast-majority of their content from user-generated content. Kinda weird to be fiercely on the side of a
