What I find particularly evil about the TSA is their Pre program that lets you bypass security lines for $85. Mind you, you'll only be granted that sort of privilege after an approval process that requires you submit the non-refundable

I didn't find his comments sexist in the least. If anything, they were almost purely observational, and I tend to agree with him. But they were also quite discouraging in regards to picking up programming later in life and how it corre

Is there something that can collectively be done about Gawker (more Vallewag)? I know, freedom of speech, etc, but they time and time again publish the most incendiary articles based on the wildest of intentional misinterpretations. It is t

I couldn't help but think of The Monuments Men movie that's coming out in February. If you wanted this to get some more publicity, I'm sure you could rebrand/position this in some way to ride that film's wave. Maybe

This makes me a little sad that I wasn't born early enough to experience the rise of that sort of technology. On the other hand, I'm also a little sad that I was born too early to not live through the era of hyperdrive and mass co

Congrats to Homejoy, but a very frustrating part about following this industry (and I guess startups in general) is the media's blatant overlooking of competitors because they just aren't part of the valley's circle. MyClean

This concept and forward thinking is of the type I make a conscious effort to protect from skepticism and naysayers. Aside from any obvious or glaring safety issues, ideas like this one, that teeter on the reality-joke line, are the exact o

For those who've been involved in this for some time: Do you think it's too late to get into mining Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrencies) to make any significant payoff? I've been looking to get into Litecoin and others because

Sorry, have to side with Uber. Hackers do not live in a bubble of innovation that renders them immune to being penalized for the potentially negative consequences of their hacks. Uber's priority is to serve their paying customers (li

I often worry about whether my startup clock is running out. I'm closer to 30 than 20, finishing up graduate school, and for the most part feel young. But other than the pediatrics ward, the only other time I start to feel my age is wh

I've been using Sparrow for over a year now. It seems like they've stopped releasing updates, and lots of users (from what I'm reading on the App Store) are complaining of stability issues, but everything's fine here.

This is a wonderful example of why you shouldn't shoot down concepts. When that designer unveiled his idea for Phonebloks, the majority of the feedback was criticism about how it wasn't technically feasible, how the designer was b
