I don't see how vegetarianism even plays a part in this discussion. I'm not a vegetarian, but this offends me. I'm offended by Parson's bravado and his claim that "Of everything I do this is the most rewarding." Parson kills an animal under

Faith? Support? I certainly don't have faith in them any more than I have faith in you. I know neither you nor them. How could I have "faith" in an unknown? However, I believe that most of the time people attempt to be good. And given that

Don't spread FUD. These guys are at least trying to do something in a market where almost everyone else has assumed Facebook has won. And they built and shipped something. I can't even remember the last time I could claim that 100%. Finaliz

Sorry to lead with a criticism but the use of the data- attribute in these examples is kind of ugly. I understand their motives, but if you're going to use data- in a "declarative" way, why not just have multiple declarations of the data-

The author claims that businesses often reinvent themselves in order to survive. As I understand it Wesabe _did_ reinvent themselves. I believe they were working closely with banks to have them implement some Wesabe related tools directly f

The most salient point to me was the fact that github was not initially conceived of as a business, but as a tool the founders desired for the betterment of their own day to day. And not only that, but github was quickly adopted in the fou

I'm pretty sure Facebook has been cash flow positive for a while. Here's the Techcrunch article about it from nearly a year ago: http://techcrunch.com/2009/09/15/facebook-crosses-300-millio... Also here's a report from Reuters: http://

37signals provides an explanation at the top of the page and a call to action (link to the app store) at the top and bottom of the page. You should consider doing the same with your signup form. This pattern is also noted on Google's resu

I don't think the point of this library is to provide a best fit layout as Masonry tries to. Instead this is a layout manager in which you could encode any number of layout algorithms including the Masonry algorithm. This layout manager de

This type of myopic anti-Google thinking is getting old. Do your homework, read their service agreements. If you don't agree with them, don't give them your data. If they sound reasonable, assume that Google will respect them. After all,

Somehow, Apple making a business decision to protect its customers from your shitty product is the most egregious ethical concern of our time. I don't 100% agree with Apple's decision to ban non-native language apps, nor do I 100% disdain
