And by just as fail I mean medicinally successful for Blackberry and it's users for a while, but completely useless at actually killing SMS which the title purports this will somehow do. With ~75% of people using non iOS devices this will

Isn't this just as fail as BlackBerry Messenger was? A lock-in iOS only service will be about as useful as BBM was, pretty useful if you and all your friends have the same phone, but not as useful as SMS because everyone else can get that t

Isn't calling this the Libertarian dream a bit of a strawman fallacy? The title is needlessly provocative and potentially insulting. It's an interesting enough topic/piece with out the political slander mixed in.

I would have said Prolog, it has more history in AI among other things. Forth is like assembly if you have no registers and just a stack. It's still quite low level. If you want mind bendy that you can still reasonably do things with chec

Does it seem naive to anyone else to allow site owners to update the index and stop spidering. a) lots of people for various reasons (ignorance, security through obscurity) would just not update it and stuff would fall out of search. Secon

Didn't this already happen, and last time we got identi.ca? Why spin off a new microblogging site when there already is one rebel site full of open source devs? What does rStat.us get us that identi.ca didn't?

It certainly is more so in some countries like China and North Korea and look how that's going. Government's aren't always benevolent, they have their own agendas too that may not match some people's expectations of online freedom for one

I think he's trying to say that Apple don't view it as a zero sum game in that they either get ios developers or some other platform does. By promoting HTML5 everyone gets those developers, including them, and so if everyone developers in

From what I've read, they did. This all came out because of a giant anti-trust case against Intel a few years ago. Like some one else said, the ended with Intel giving like a Billion dollars to AMD. Then they started digging into how s

Seriously, why won't this 2+ decade old argument die? It's sophomoric and picked apart in second year cognitive systems classes by 19 year old children. It glaringly misunderstands and misrepresents. If people are genuinely interested in

How does this help the users? Canonical is selling their user base to yahoo at the cost of user experience. This is kinda disappointing and shady.

It could have something to do with the time the job was created. As the author mentioned in a comment, after 3 hours the job kinda died. So If he posted it in peak hours for India, than it's not surprising that most of the respondents wer

Lots of forms of art don't get a genera name until after they've started ;). Just because the first "cubist" painting came before the term got coined doesn't mean it isn't a cubist painting. And just because this showed up a few decades b

I'd say no. I've been continually disappointed in the coding part of the university education. It is much more about theory than a technical degree. I'm a code monkey, all I want to do is write code, and learn to write better code. You on

I like the fantastically unfounded assumption about selling his company for 40 million dollars. And his amazingly offensive attitude. Not good founder material IMHO, with old debts hanging off you, not paid and feeling justified about it,
