Not that I'm surprised that the firm sued but I wonder what their end goal is and how they're planning on getting any sort of meaningful settlement from a company that's currently on fire. This seems mostly a face-saving me

Matías Duarte has been consistently at the forefront of mobile UI design. This is a pretty subjective statement. It seems that a lot of Duarte's designs are somewhat derivative. Material extends MS's Flat design. I'm also n

On top of all that, Amazon doesn't have unionized employees. That's a huge advantage when you are trying to reduce costs. Not only are their employees wages probably less, but they also don't have contracts that reduce plann

Its funny with the rise of more remote work with flexible hours I wonder if there's not more then one person who's double dipping. I imagine a pretty good engineer could maybe work two full time jobs pretty easily remotely working

You can't really build anything next to that building. It's surrounded on three sides by major thoroughfares and a brand new terminal on the fourth.

This looks awesome I might check it out. But the "P2P" branding is likely going to be confusing to a lot of people. In fact even after reading the explanation I still don't understand the peer to peer model in this context a

I agree with you but this isn't data storage. For those Fortune 500 companies who've made the shift to cloud services Amazon currently fills the role that Oracle does in data storage. I'm sure there's plenty of Fortune

Just focusing on this issue. Building more space not a viable option in this area of Palo Alto and not actually required. To be clear this is not "Palo Alto" its a very small downtown area of about 8 blocks square. This is an area

I have a company that has built a lot of smart tv apps. I can say that the Sony TVs have consistently been the least performing of the bunch. We don't support most 2012 TVs anymore and that's on more solid TVs like Samsung and LG.

That techTV site launched in 2001 and it was decided to go to around 800px. Up from the old ZDTV site which was pinned at 612px. https://web.archive.org/web/20000603192652/http://www3.zdnet... ?
