I have no evidence but from being a sports fan for over 25 years I find people become fans of teams for two reasons. Either they are from that city|state|region or they like a particular player on that team at the time. Being a fan of a tea

I can agree with you that in the overall scheme of things tech may be more important than sports. But I disagree when you say that it accomplishes nothing useful or productive. As you said yourself it provides entertainment. Different forms

Sometimes I see programmers, or people in the tech world in general, bash people who go crazy over sports teams. There will probably be more than a few condescending comments about the SuperBowl hype over the next two weeks. I see a post li

Yeah, they are basically a full service marketing firm but they don't think of themselves that way. I've never worked in a label but I have talked to several people who have and they think of themselves more as a grooming service. In other

Even though I use Google Music and have developed Android apps, this is the first time I'm hearing about this service from Google. It looks good but I am going to have to explore it some more to get an educated opinion. But so far it looks

10 years ago I was a small time hip hop DJ who did some clubs and radio. Before I became a programmer, my dream was to become the next Puffy. I studied the industry big time (reading books, talking to people inside, doing interviews) and st

A bigger question arises. Since we now know that his Android feelings comes from hatred of Google and their policies, how do we trust his opinion on the actual devices? I guess him not being a full time staffer at techcrunch anymore helps w

I thought something was off when reading the article. You pretty much put it in words for me. The focusing on Tokyo was especially blatant.

I don't agree with this at all. Most of time, when I see charges of "fanboyism" it is when a person is attacking, or is known for attacking, the choices of others. For example, "You use Windows over Macs? You must like viruses". Or "You hav

I will give the same answer that many on this page have given, Apple software is horrible on Windows. Safari horrible, Quicktime, horrible, iTunes, the granddaddy of horrible. He really didn't have to go any further with the story, he alrea

I don't think Google will be changing their business dealings with Godaddy anytime soon. Google has a business relationship with KKR (the new owners of GoDaddy). They are investing 94 million on a KKR solar farm project. http://abcnews.go.

I like tech and I really don't care who it comes from. I love Windows 7 but routinely use Ubuntu in a VM. I think the Mac Air and the IPad are some of the most revolutionary products in my lifetime. C# is my favorite language but always fin

Enterprise - 1. "A project or undertaking, typically one that is difficult or requires effort." 2. "Initiative and resourcefulness." He at least fits one of the requirements for the word enterprise. As someone said previously in this thread

"Entrepreneur - a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk" He is the very definition of an entrepreneur. Most of the stuff you see selling in the streets of NYC i

The NFL likes to focus on the skill positions (QB, HB, WR, LB, and DB's) more than the entire game so their camera angles reflect that. Most fans do not understand what is going on with the linemen because for the most part it is the most

Oh yeah, the Maddenization of the modern football game is everywhere. I especially love when on (I think ESPN Sunday Morning Countdown) they use Madden players to illustrate the play but they are scaled to real proportions. The first time I

It's more of what works in the game but doesn't work in real life. In Madden an old glitch that has since been fixed is that whenever the Quarterback would break the pocket, the receivers would break their route. And when they broke their r

I have always been a football fan but when I was in college I lived in the Football dorm and it changed how I saw the game forever. (Back story, I lived in those dorms because I'm a big guy and the coach wanted me to play for the team. I to

I agree with you about Jobs and even about Jordan. They most likely have probably made the world better than when they came in. But there has been a sacrifice made in that achievement. On a personal level. But to be considered great that is

Have you seen the perception of Jordan lately? I was and probably still am one of the biggest Jordan fans ever but he's a dick and as a fan I have to admit it. His former teammates do not have many nice things to say about him and the peopl

I think at this point its best if everyone waits until the interview actually airs before making any more judgements. It seems a little crazy that the situation has gotten to the level that it is at before the interview is even shown.

Interesting that the main complaint is that Google does not know how to develop for a competitors platform very well. Have you taken a look at Apple's software on Windows machines? If I had to rely on the reputation of Apple simply by their

You're right, my level of support now is not as great as it could be. When I was initially introduced to the idea, I loved it. I still do. This is why I am still involved. But I do not like the zealotry behind it. You can believe in an idea

And that is my main problem right there. Netflix streaming is good for finding old niche content but for general mainstream content, not so much. And now with Starz leaving.... The blog posting by the CEO was good but he still didn't answer
