The problem here is absolutely the law. (disclaimer: IANAL) You're viewing it from a sympathetic light from the start. While one might argue that domain names are property, the seizure of an access point to an online service means that the

Ah, but that's the thing - it is a trade-off. While both the GPL and BSD (and other Free Software licenses) are certainly better than closed-source, the GPL is a promise to the user at the expense of the developer (a reasonable expense, to

I quite agree with the suggestion that a startup be founded with a designer. IMO, founding engineers should ideally be able to wear product and design hats, but a dedicated designer probably doesn't probably doesn't make sense in all cases.

If you want to complain, I'd advise you to email us and say so, or volunteer to do the camera work. The CSUA doesn't have to film this, but does. This is strictly extra, using (last I checked) a flipcam, and an unpaid student who's mainly

I think you're conflating "can't" and "won't". They have not been focused on driving revenue up; if this were a company goal they could have done a lot more sales. They acquire sales of advertisements in different ways, and if they really w

(disclaimer: former intern this past summer) That is not at all how management views it. They are not at all emphasizing revenue; they are engineering-driven, not business-driven, and their engineers are driving the company, not just the ma

I use Chrome not because I did any research, but because Safari and Firefox can't handle my volume of tabs (~30-50, more sometimes). Chrome can. You don't have to shop around for browsers to find Chrome a pleasing experience compared to Saf

If you take a step back and look at what Facebook is trying to do, it makes sense. They have never been about the advertisers or the users or the developers exclusively: their mission is to attain and represent the social graph which exists

Thanks! It was exhausting, but a blast to host (<--podium setup guy with black CSUA t-shirt/black open hack hoodie) EDIT: Major props go to all the speakers, guests, Jessica, Dwight Crow (who was the main organizer on the Berkeley side)

Pretty sure we will. There's a camera in back, and I think it'll be on webcast.berkeley.edu when it's over.
