I have the exact same feeling about Facebook. I was appalled when they originally let high school students into the gates. The exclusivity was what made it so cool to be a part of. However, I never felt that it has become less useful, it ju

How does that limit video to Youtube only? You sure this isn't just a marketing phrase? Is there concrete proof that other video players will not work?

Though it may seem that way Grooveshark actually has a system compensating labels per time song is played. The unethical part is that its an opt-in system. In other words, they steal first and pay back later if asked nicely. On a plus, they

Is there anything that tracks API calls?

All of these are predictions of movements of existing products, which are interesting. But, any opinion or predictions for new products such as Chrome OS? Google Me? Emerging startups like Diaspora or Frid.ge trying to take out Facebook? So

Hmm, typical Engagdet review IMO. First off, the battery is a non-issue to me. If it lasts 2-3 nights then I'll charge it every night like I do every other device I have, which is what most people do to my knowledge. Second, if I'm trying t

As a self-titled pizza connoisseur you really can't compare different types of pizzas with one another. i think this article showed us a pretty good taste test. i've tried both zachary's and little star in the area (though i live in la). i'

I don't drink coffee. I don't drink tea. I don't drink soda. I consume 0 caffeine and as a student I get my energy from good sleep. However, I've realized that more sleep does not necessarily mean I wake up refreshed. I've self observed wit

i concur. It's always been discouraging to to build an entire video game and be mildly popular. Then comes a guy to single handedly accomplish this. Certainly gives me a lot of hope.

I use DDG strictly for technical searches. I've found that it makes programming much faster vs Googling.

Not that there is any correlation (Heroku's awesome and those guys are simply great talent) but, RoR start-ups seem to be doing amazing nowadays with Hulu in high eval, Groupon rumored to reject a $5B deal, Twitter with its momentum, and no

I can't say much about the $6B but I can see why the Groupon sales team along with their relationships with local businesses is valuable to Google.

Be careful and smart about that 3 strike policy. Remember the ability to "warn" back on AIM? It got really annoying. How are you going to keep people from abusing this 3 strike system? Also, identification of a Facebook profile does not nec

Reading this article was like watching a 2-hour special on the Discovery Channel about a new discovery that turned out to be a mistake

In terms of new hires, yes, they should absolutely be trained. Getting hired at a new company, I am always lost. There's so many things that you don't know about the existing code base. Thus, the solution of FB's two week boot-camp to get e

Kik would have been affordable too. It didn't seem like they were monetizing Kik in any particular way for the time being.

Yeah, there are tons of social networking sites that protect privacy. My question is, I know people aren't satisfied with Facebook's news feed, but with the introduction of Facebook Groups are people still complaining? Isn't it easier to ma

Reading the article title I immediately thought of those leaving Google for Facebook. This IS happening. They're doing it to catch the FB IPO. OP mentions this topic but mostly talks about his view, which I get. On the other hand, I've spok

I've been immensely disappointed with RIM lately. I don't really get app envy since I have both an iPod Touch (with Facetime!) and a Blackberry 9700. It's not my first Blackberry and hopefully not my last. The reason why I love BB so much i

Rescuetime is my savior. It is way too easy to open your browser and click on those tempting little icons you've bookmarked for your self. Unfortunately, I can't save my self from external distractions but as long as I'm "wired-in" from ext

isn't there already a free stream for new tweets that could be stored and analyzed? is this just a sale of the 50% of tweets that have already passed? why so pricey for historical market research data when current data is free?

Going to agree with you on this one. Viewing ratings is always questionable considering one person's 3 is different from another person's 3. On the other hand, the review system is supposed to be personalized, like Netflix. All it does is m

I've witnessed something similar. During the 2008 Olympics, I studied abroad in Beijing and was pretty fortunate to stay at the BNU campus where they hosted the training complex for the U.S. Olympians. I saw with my own eyes a 5 story train

I can't entirely agree that there is deja vu. When Facebook and LinkedIn came out, there was an immediate market not to mention Facebook's incredible growth, something Foursquare/Gowalla don't have. When Twitter first came out there was no

I've been impressed by both the new image search and the web previews. With the introduction of Rock Melt, the instant page preview while simultaneously browsing my searches was a productive environment and now Google added it to their page

personally, the sidebars do nothing but intrude in productivity. When I feel like being social though it's great. What has sold me on the browser is speed. Hot dog is it fast! Pages that would normally take a second or two to load in chrome

If the rendering speed in any way reflects that in the video then the social features would just be the icing on the cake for me.

Congrats to the Kik team! When I first heard of Kik, I thought it to be somewhat repetitive. There are tons of apps just like it. But, the viral nature of the app sold me. The fact that contacts are automatically added allow me to use the a

The article mentions nothing about labs. Personally, my experience with Gmail has been slower with every new lab feature I enable, which makes sense. Most of these labs are in beta. Disabling all lab features speeds Gmail dramatically for m
