Surely corporate IT departments are going to have a collective heart attack as employees start handing all their email to a third party?

In some categories it is almost impossible to buy genuine items; Apple Dock cables and Samsung phone chargers are two that spring to mind.

But the thing is, that means you aren't his audience. Sure, there are circumstances under which you'll read his output, but if you're not willing to play the game then you're no use to him. What a publisher can sell prof

Almost nobody has. Oh yes, we've all got them, but we haven't read them.

As a former newspaper sub editor, I can say there is no difference. Neither should EVER be used. The phrase they are looking for here is "has died". In news reporting it is wrong to beat about the bush, to try to soften the blow o

Quite. It'll be a little hardware black box that nobody can see into, one that just gives a 'yes' or 'no' answer. Additionally -- if things are like they used to be when I was in the biometrics world in the mid-90s

Yes, early footy games sold really well. My next project at Codemasters in 1987 was going to be a soccer game, but then stuff happened and I moved over to the business side. Pete Williamson wrote a series of four mini games instead, called

So it seems that the problem here is one field trying to do two jobs. It would take a change to the way things are presented, but what about having a title that is the same as the original article, and then another line -- a subtitle, if yo

No, as a verb it pretty much only has one meaning, which you should look up :) Kudos on your English though. I'd never have guessed you aren't a native speaker.

I wonder if this is due to the age boundary between old farts and digital natives. A young YouTube-aware creative could easily filch ideas knowing there's a good chance that the senior suits who will sign off the campaign will likely n

It is sad to see sites that were once well focused covering anything and everything, presumably in desperate pursuit of a few more page views. I'm sure this is of interest to some people, but Techcrunch? Really?

I think the page is seriously broken -- the "article" as currently presented is incoherent. Maybe it is the author's notes?

Yup, I also felt bad when I saw folks laying into Mr Winer yesterday. I was going to submit a "hey, be reasonable, lets have less of the ad hominem" but then I saw a few people had already done that. Of course, I voted those up. But the rea

FWIW this will no longer be an issue when everything moves to the user's phone. You'll choose a default 'card' but will be able to change it to a preferred card before any transaction.

WordPress is excellent, and there are some mighty big WP sites out there. You're barking up the right tree when you say "you need a developer on staff" though. Web sites are not just "set and forget" deals. They need continuing care and mai

My, aren't we all cynical today? There is nothing wrong with the concept of a press release, particularly when used as intended, as a starting point for a piece of journalism. In the media we write many different kinds of stories. Some are

Yes, of course you have heard people commit these errors. Others say "haitch" for the lettter 'H' and still others talk about "nu-cu-lar power". We ain't all educated proper, that's for sure. I'm intrigued that you are ready to rule out the

This is oft-repeated, but not actually true. Most people in the UK who care about these things (for instance, sub editors in the printed press) hold that companies are singular entities. The confusion comes with sports teams, which are comm
