If Facebook wants to create a Facebook/Andoid phone that is completely independent of Google, they can definitely do this. Sure they have to forgo gmail / calendar and the other proprietary apps, but they could easily write their own. It's

I'm not saying I agree that it's intentional, but I do agree that the result boosts the app store. It does so because you have to write the app for iOS rather than HTML5. If you wrote it for HTML 5 it would be lot less work to write a Andro

That's kind of steep pricing IMO as far as the minutes are concerned. I can get an OOMA for $200 + $100 / year with 2 lines, 5000 minutes and lots of other features.

Ok, so I go to the site and the default settings have $20K per month in sales with $440 for Paypal and $478.90. The difference is $38.90. Or 0.2%. If your going to choose a credit card processor exclusively based on saving 0.2%, then I don'

Another thing I've see (by a 3rd site... Homerun.com) is being added to their list when I've never even visited the site. Somebody in my contact list added me to their list and now I get their spam.

The distinction is that the company actually received $600M. The other $350M was really a form of "secondary offering" that let existing shareholders take some chips off the table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_market_offering

Pressure cookers are awesome. For example, they'll cook black beans in 15 minutes instead of 2 hours. And they taste amazingly better than canned beans. The best pressure cookers are from this swiss company, Kuhn Rikon: http://kuhnrikon.co

Maybe for the population in general. But for example, I surf and see sharks all the time. But I don't think I've ever seen a pig in real life that wasn't in an enclosed pen. For a cool list of local shark sightings, read here: http://www.s

I always thought that Google should buy NetFlix. Netflix's market cap is $10B or so (maybe they pay $12-$15B in a buyout). Seems like a better deal than $6B for Groupon. I'm sure Google has a lot more leverage in peering negotiations.
