   I have this issue with Mixergy as well. It sounds kind of stupid now that I'm typing it out, but... an hour is a long time . And the synopses that they write for the interviews are rarely very good.

   I heard about that, but, is it actually any better than MS Access, or is it just an alternative for an alternative's sake? I'll have to keep Googling...

   I agree, but I think the firm should have just covered all their bases and given her an e-mail at their domain.

   I wish there were more detail to some of these points. For example, "Have an office, not someone's living room." This sounds reasonable, but why ? What is it, specifically, about having an office that makes it so important? What if wha

    I know this is linkbait, and I freely admit that I have no idea if it's just a vicious rumor or not. Frankly, I'm skeptical: One company controlling the whole stack? Free unlimited calling with VoIP services? And my biggest question: Who

    I keep hearing and seeing all of this information about spider silk, and it sounds so very cool, but I feel like the loop will not be closed until we see a YouTube video of that very tapestry being shot with a gun and not tearing. Or is th

    I'm extremely rusty on my statistics, and I upvoted this because I find A/B tests interesting, but... are these numbers statistically significant? For the population of internet users, are they actually practically significant? It just se

    You should edit your OP to include this snippet. There's a big difference between "I don't want a coding job, and I don't like coding" and, "I love coding, but I don't want a coding job."

    It seems like, in the context of this quote, "trust" is used to mean "delegate thoroughly and without reservation".

    Hey dude... I upvoted you because I, too, laughed at the title's inclusion of the iPhone that appeared in all of one single sentence in the entire article, but I just wanted to note; be careful next time about breaking the cardinal rule of

    I'm kind of embarrassed by the hackjob of an image attached to that article. Isn't TechCrunch supposed to be this kickass tech news outlet? That graphic is all the worst parts of "political cartoons," but without even a compelling illustr
