Maybe they could implement some sort of "Smart Circles" or "Nested Circles". That could solve the author's "Work Friends" issue.

I thought for sure this was going to be a Siracusan epic article. Instead it's a measly 3 pages from last year. :-) great article though about an OS I missed the boat on.

Tangent alert! Marco makes me feel great. One of my favorite things about Marco is that he gives me confidence that there is not a gaping wide chasm between the skills of the best engineer-entrpreneurs and me. This time, it was his frank ad

Despite seeing fewer and fewer Arrington-penned articles on TechCrunch, the site continues serve its near-singular purpose as the main channel on which we can catch "The Arrington Show" live in all its passive-aggresive (and aggressive-aggr

I'd be curious about the answer to this one as well. After my O2-UK contract was up, they were as happy as a clam to unlock my phone. All I had to do was plug into iTunes and it just said "iPhone now unlocked" and I wept with joy. I'm skept

Very nicely done (viewing in Safari). Best part was the ninja star throw. Totally caught me off-guard :-) EDIT: didn't see very much fee-fighters info in there though. Just a quick sentence at the end. Perhaps this was used for multiple com

It's always a big red flashing warning sign to me when investors who've stood by a company from the beginning take a major cash-out _before_ an IPO. Nobody can argue they didn't know an IPO was coming soon. If you don't believe you'll make

This is something I feel like people are discounting. +1 won't displace Liking as a _social network feature_, but it will be very interesting to see how it plays out as a _social search feature_, which is why I'm looking for how best to imp

This app should absolutely cost money. We're talking about selecting a home for the next 12+ months at a cost of at least $1000/mo. (in NYC, anyways). What is $1.99 for an app that's going to help us compare and make the best choice? What o

Main issue against this: Wikipedia is not in danger of any kind. Although "need for protection" is not listed in the criteria for selection according to UNESCO's website ( http://whc.unesco.org/en/criteria ), the "Convention Concerning the

I think YC would cut it off if they knew they had reached their limit. After all, they're investing in these companies and want them all to succeed. Overbooking would cost them a lot of money in the short- and long-term.

If they paid a single developer/designer/salesperson around $80k/yr to maintain it, even after all the perks and insurance and taxes and whatnot, they'd still end up on top if that developer did nothing other than maintain the current numbe

This quote struck me as funny and sad: "I’d rather buy the cheapest grains and vegetables than buy the cheapest meat. Bargain basement meat is likely produced in atrocious factory farming conditions and pumped up with hormones." What gave h

It's true that a smaller "delta" update would be doable over the air, but I think that the hookup to your PC makes the process much safer. Should your device update fail, you have backups and a way to restore back to your previous state. We

One thread that is interwoven throughout the piece but surprisingly not called out explicitly is the role of the tech media in the glamorization of high-growth, high-exit-return startups and their investors. Nostrademons has some good poi

This is heading in the right direction, but I remain skeptical of the simple "you're connected to this person through some service (probably unconnected to the search query), so you trust them" symbol as the main recommendation symbol. This

At least one of those screenshots is going to pull some heart strings for people who played games way back when. I became a PC gamer at the tail end of DOS gaming, when Command & Conquer was only available on DOS and Dark Forces was rel

Brilliant maneuver by these two companies. As if I needed another reason to wish more carriers carried the iPhone. I look forward to Google Voice being something people understand as a feature of their service plan rather than some mystery

In the UK, 97% of ATM transactions are done using free-to-use LINK-network ATMs ( http://www.link.co.uk/ & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM_usage_fees#United_Kingdom ). I feel that there are situations where pay-to-use ATMs are accept

I can't find any mention of whether advertisements will be shown to paying customers. The "no-pay-but-view-ads" vs. "pay-with-no-ads" model has been a mainstay of most freemium websites, but NYTimes looks like it's going to keep ads no matt

I actually felt my heart pumping each time I read "## days until Demo Day". That's how starting a business should feel. Money's running out, time is running out, energy is running out. How are we going to make this work, today?

It's sad that the reporting of this type of revenue isn't reported with more than a passing "we know you all have opinions" gesture towards the unethical nature of said revenue. And by all means, debating ethics is encouraged, but acting li

Like Cameron Moll ( https://twitter.com/cameronmoll/status/43400482944847872 ), this blows my entire system up when opening in Chrome 9.0.597.107. Watching the videos don't feel that awesome, but I'm sure it would be sweet to actually be ab

I found the Rails implementation of MVC to be the easiest to learn of the 4 I've worked with (.NET, CodeIgniter/Kohana, Rails, ObjC), followed by CodeIgniter/Kohana. Rails made it clear from the very start with its "Everything is an object"
