I've noticed the same problem, on some searches the entire first page is pure junk. Bet 80% of internet users don't know the difference. Maybe a power users mode that drops those from the search results would work.

I don't think they need better information, just a collection place that adds up the red flags and spits out a security risk level. Cross referencing the different sources of information should do it. Create a central database. It also ma

Yep, good place to start if you want to research the subject further, lots of avenues to take all in one spot.

I would have liked the article to go into more depth about his rejections and if he used the rejection feedback to change his marketing strategy. My guess is when things start heading downhill it all turns into personal problems so I would

If I like the people I am working around then most of that stuff is nice but not necessary, except maybe for the back and the chair thing. I would add a quick commute in the first list and a work at home option.

High security, little bother, totally worthless. Pick another country that doesn't have the services or pick a different target that is as spectacular and your security becomes worthless. Put in place a consistent security system that is c

Using a API means you are working for whomever is on the other side. Ebay ran with the store concept and profited by it. YouTube should create a store "model" to license to share profits from use of any API. Large companies usually cut thei

If I want to get myself up to speed on an issue, idea, or problem I examine the issue from as many angles as possible, then start narrowing my focus. Some of my "first round" selections taken out of context might look pretty bad but give me

Sounds sort of like any business deal where you have to sell yourself as part of the transaction. Coming in with a better attitude might help, Think of the process as a non contact boxing match instead of a show and tell.

Good question. You would think that competition and ease of entry would bring down the price of content on a particular subject down to a format level. sort of a Moore's Law of ebooks. First one in makes out good but not si good over any le

Sounds like the article reinforces the same checks and balances that the U.S. government is based upon, why the supreme court has all those judges and terms of elected officials are staggered. The founders force themselves to seek the middl

That why it's a good thing to get rid of the founder when the company gets to a certain point some times. Broussard was never really running a business. It may have been a lot of fun, but never really a business.

If you are going to see grandparents this holiday, a good discussion might be to ask them about their sugar consumption, prevalent health problems now and then, and compare those to your own. Bet there is a big difference.

The manager should stay, explain why he is staying, announce specific hours he will pop in for updates (he may have to report to others too), stay out of the coders way, don't make additional distractions, and order dinner.

Part of the problem is that Facebook isn't really a brand yet. They are still trying to define how the site is going to make money. Dragging the customer kicking and screaming usually doesn't do it. Sounds like those guys should lear

Good analysis. I think they should qualify it by content. A non-ad-driven site like "donate" should have the button on the top and the supporting argument below. A ad-driven site like the file sharing sites should have the button on the

I think the article misses the point. Drunk drivers kill other people. Drunk walkers kill only themselves.
