I will have to see the full implementation of iCloud to understand the difference. Again, can't speak for Dropbox even though they're the market leader. But SugarSync has this syncing functionality already and has had it for at least 2 ye

It just seems to me that companies like SugarSync (and maybe Dropbox - I don't use it) have been doing this for years. I'm confident that Apple will improve some of the media streaming experience, but their real genius is in marketing these

Agreed on the convenience point. FT's strategy is definitely dependent upon the consumer's loyalty to their brand/product. Enough that they'd rather see Apple's cut stay with the publisher at the inconvenience cost of dealing with separat

I'm curious whether this $24.99/yr revenue is shared with the labels who own the "pirated" music as part of the deal.

Truly excellent summary. Thank you. Question 1: In the case of exercising and ISO, you said that the spread amount is includable in income for purposes of calculating AMT. How is this spread determined? Is this where the company's 409a c

From my understanding (disclaimer: I'm neither a lawyer nor an accountant, but I have been thoroughly advised by both on the topic), there is an important distinction between ISOs (Incentive Stock Options) and NSOs (Nonqualified Stock Optio

Definitely agree on that as well - it's a pros and cons argument. Frankly I miss the scoring for the reason you mention, but I think this method promotes merit. Of course, now we are all subjected to whatever secret algorithm pushes comme

I still think that the number one threat to professional journalists is the low barrier to entry for people to get into journalism these days, not robots. That said, this is really interesting and will likely play a role in generating cont

Technically, you don't even need a degree in anything relevant to nutrition to call yourself a nutritionist. Dietitian on the other hand comes with more accreditation. For that reason, dietitians often refer to themselves as dietitians ra

Very cool. Might be interesting to collect age, years of experience and perhaps company while you're at it so you can see a nice distribution. This might destroy some anonymity amongst a close group of friends, but amongst a diverse anony

I think that calling Gladwell's suggestion that 10,000 hours is the magic number to become an expert bogus based on your single data point is a bit hasty. Gladwell didn't say that everybody who puts in 10,000 hours of band lessons becomes

The reason you can't in contact with people at Google is because you're not the customer. Paying businesses are the customers. Not just trying to sound snarky - it's true.

Instead of taking time off to do this, I'm doing it on the fly while my startup is up and running. I fought this fight for just about 2 years, outsourcing much of our web development during that time. And I don't regret outsourcing - it c

Arrington's timing on breaking angelgate was impeccable - likely sweetened, or at least helped seal the deal at the 11th hour.

An interesting and seemingly revealing article no doubt. I "choose" to buy it depicts Arrington's life genuinely. That said, a couple weeks ago, Arrington wrote a piece on TC regarding the "psychomanipulative" techniques he uses when he wr
