As a Current Alfred customer in NYC I can say that the service has been a huge help, and not in the "shut in" way suggested by this article. Having my laundry, groceries and packages taken care of for me allows me to maximize my w

The best case for aereo was that they used their hack of the copyright system to eventually lobby to change the laws and become "legit". IMO there were always pretty slim chances of that happening. Still sad though, I hate the cur

I never understood how companies like instacart explained this to their investors. Over time one of several things must happen: 1. Instacart magically makes a courier capable of doing 4 trips an hour 2. Instacart drastically increases it&#

I don't see the value over using something like Venmo or square cash.

I don't understand why this needs to be limited to Zero-Emissions vehicles. Any new car manufacturer will have difficulty implementing the dealer model.

I'm fairly certain this is more for users and not developers. Giving people an easy small window for little-apps makes a lot of sense to me.

this is neat, nice to see people experimenting in this space.

looks good, I'll have to try it out. Chrome has been acting up for me lately.

I used this service while I was in Israel, and it's really amazing. CUPS pays the coffeeshops for each cup you consume, so the shops treat you like a real customer, not like a "groupon" customer. Honestly the biggest benefit

I think g+ is having a significant strategy tax on the rest of google's products (similar to windows for microsoft). However, the benefits of g+ for google are potentially huge. Organizing all products across one account system helps t

Honestly I think this is promising. The format is not "shady" or disruptive, and the company seems to have a good understanding that adds done poorly can be damaging.

You're correct, nobody is suggesting that a clansman or a neo nazi run mozilla. That said, 34% of americans oppose SSM ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_of_same-sex_marr... ). 34% is a large minority, no

it was fine as long as nobody noticed. They didn't stick to their guns once he was at the top.

This is just sad. Brendan was bullied for his personally help views that never once affected a working relationship he had with a colleague. This is the inventor of javascript does he not deserve some respect?

How long has blackberry been circling the drain? Feels like an eternity.

This seems similar to Google's tablet/phone strategy taken to it's natural extreme. This makes me wonder if google will soon do something similar with the (currently separate) Chrome/Android ecosystem.

Regardless the the somewhat deceptive title, this is still an impressive collection of stats. The full study does a great job of explaining how the tech economy is also good for the traditional economy and those without technical background

Seems a bit obsessed with terminology. Also many of the points in this post seem difficult to achieve especially for a company with a focus on "shipping" example: "Freedom: Freedom to pick when and where they work. How they w

This reminds me of this article in The Atlantic: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/03/hey-pare... We might finally have some reversion from this awful "safety" obsessed parentin

I really have to disagree with marco on this one. Infrastructure investment isn't free, and in order to align incentives toward more investment and not less, we need to start implementing metered usage. This would lower the cost of int

This is a joke. If anything this incident demonstrates bitcoin's resiliency. The drop in value has not been catastrophic, and other exchanges seem to have done a find job of picking up the slack. I think security is going to be a pe

if the web primarily became a data-layer for mostly native apps would that really be such a bad thing?

“If you allow someone to come into the market with no overhead, that's an unfair advantage” hmmm isn't that the whole point of markets? time for some creative destruction in car dealer land.

I'm worried that Moto might find itself in HTC's shoes: Making truly great phones that nobody buys anyway.
