I don't think homelessness is normally related to housing crises. Maybe in SV, but not most other places, at least.

I love bashing Comcast, but this seems extremely overblown.

If you are hired based on your experience, and your experience is a lie, and you get the job based on that lie, I thought that's sort of the definition of fraud. But I'm not a lawyer, so I could be wrong.

I was hoping for something more scientific or at least psychological, but alas. I would say these reasons don't line up with my observances at all. For instance, one of mine is "this project is so big, I don't know where to s

I had hopes for the xbone kinect, but they seemed to stop making games for it when they unbundled it (which was before I bought into it). Microsoft could have taken the outcry about the bundling 2 ways: 1) Make the Kinect awesome with aweso
