I wonder how much AirBnb gave them to help smooth that transition to a new logo.

Ya, I'd rather not give them money if their policy is to allow some ads if given $.

gaben has said numerous times that he cares more about cheaters than pirates. Steam implements anti-cheating technology, but afaict many games don't include DRM unless the publisher demands it.

Super interesting. There was this hack from a few months ago that involved messing with items on the CAN bus. I think they get into more of the details; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqe6S6m73Zw

The 'man' command is named that because its short for 'manual', it has nothing to do with 'men'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_pages

The problem with your argument is that 'fsck' has nothing to do with 'fuck' and everything to do with 'File System ChecK'. You're just further proving the OP's point.

I found the bit about the keyboard not having built in wireless (requiring an adapter) to be the obvious 'wtf'. Everything else looked pretty cool, though the Metro interface still hasn't grown on me.

This is interesting, but I'd rather prefer something like Ript (a Ruby DSL for Iptables) than a very specific implementation along with its assumptions. https://github.com/bulletproofnetworks/ript So long as you c

If I leave a job in SF, I can have a new job within days. I am not sure the same can be said about other regions. Yes, its ridiculously expensive here, but I know I will have a job. I'm originally from Michigan, and have lived in Houst

As a transgender women working in the Bay I can say that no 'startup' has ever proven to me that they cared when it comes to benefits. I still have yet to land a job anywhere that doesn't have explicit exclusions for transgendered people in

Oh joy. “these days so small that girls get disappointed if think they got hold of something else than the MP3 player you had in your pocket.” An otherwise interesting article.

All of Salesforce production uses Oracle.. It costs them some serious $$$. Oracle is one of Salesforces competitors.

Having worked at Salesforce I can say they take _forever_ to move on anything. When I left the company two years ago they were just starting to talk about Postgresql as a option to replace Oracle..

Not really. What if I don't want to meet a guy. Its super heteronormative and more about finding men a women to date rather than helping anybody find their match.

The only reason iTunes seems to be essential is because there is almost no competition on OSX. Its a fairly horrible music player / media organizer compared to most Windows based software. I only use Skype to video chat with my daughters an

Thats somewhat silly as mp3's can be attack vectors, though I don't know if this is a problem in the wild. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/GMs-OnStar-Ford-Sync-MP3-B... I tend to run clam-av on file servers and mail gateways for the obv

They need to stop forcing people to login to unsubscribe. That missing feature has caused me to delete my meetup account completely a few times now. Why do I keep going back? Because a local group I meet outside of meetup has their mailin

Consider how much the large telecoms in the US fund our politicians. I'm sure this will go through without a hitch. Sadly :(

I will not give AT&T my money. As a happy T-Mobile user I am strongly against this purchase. I really hate that the US Cellular system is split by Wireless technologies and that my only options for GSM are basically AT&T and T-Mobil

Because Chrome still doesn't sync your "search engine" settings. So maintaining a massive customized search engine across the multiple computers I use would be a pain. If this was a native feature it would work so long as I logged in to Goo

This is awesome! Now if only I could completely remove certain sites from my search results ala the Google Wiki stuff. I'd love to drop swik, and expertsexchange and a few other annoying sites. Its possible this algorithm change will make t

I agree. The OP of the article on apple did a good job of figuring this out. I have the same issues, and same drivers (though I'm not on a Pro) so I'm going through this and will test out tonight. The wireless has been so flakey in this sys
