   Does this raise the chances for a "Google Drive for Linux" release within the next weeks?

   I am aware this is most likely a fake, but I like the 16:9-ratio – that would be a smart move!

   The bus factor is priced in, as is the assumption that Facebook will dramatically increase its revenue in the long run. If Facebook would not grow anymore, the stock would instantly collapse.

   I always fail to see the market there. Why is it superior to the car, considering the higher costs for fuel, that will be unavoidable?

   My (tech/business) University has an obligatory seminar, where all students choose an emerging technology from a similar list and try to evaluate its path to reality, influence on markets and society, etc. We all were in awe when hearing th

   Well, a Zettel is a small sheet of paper in German. I have no idea if this is the background, but I really read this as iZettel - and it doesn't make any sense. On the other hand, "Kindle" is something like an angel in German (or a beer), a

   There will be a middle-left coalition of the social democrates and the green party. The liberal party was able to recover after beeing down to 2% several weeks ago. The Pirates once again get the chance to work on their profile from the opp

   I am pretty convinced #1 and #2 are both true. POlice officers most of the times do not hunt down murderer or kidnappers (their is hardly murder in Europe, compared to the US), but are asked to appease husbands beating their wives, stop par

    Then you have "the winner takes it all", creating a bipolar system like in the US. No thanks. Parties give some structure in the public debate, and thus are necessary for a democratic discourse.

    You can. Just make sure you say something smart, and everything is fine. The shitstorm might be, however, a little bigger than usual if you say something stupid. (Günter Grass' poem etc.)

    They ride the "we are new" horse themselves, to explain their lack of expertise and knowledge in many pressing political issues. They are a new party, so people will look over some gaps, but this cannot last forever (maybe not even until th

    I do not claim to be a fan of HFT, but I wouldn't say it's on the same level as stealing CC data.

    I am shocked, not because things like this happen, but because a broad group of posters at HN seems to justify Miso's behavior, which was legally as wrong as morally (and strategically wrong as well). I had never expected to see such reacti

    I am excited about the singe window mode. The multi window mode made GIMP quite un-intuitive to me until now.

    I don't see how altruism is more irrational than luxory consumption. Doing charity will make you happy and fulfilled - quite a smart move to do so ;) (yes, I know that charity != altruism. But this is a very theoretical discussion)

    Given the development of the startup scene in all three towns, the decision is hardly surprising.

    The numbers are interesting, but interpreting it is hard. I noticed several non-tech people getting an G+ account, using it for some days, and leaving, because hardly anything was happening. That might be bad. But the graphs mostly document

    Might become a Business Ethics Class classic. From my point of view, Amazon should not deliver. It is obvious the bats are intended to be used as weapons, which is illegal at least in Germany, no matter what circumstances.

    Best detail about the site: You can change the language. But at least for German, it is no automatic translation. He translated his whole site to multiple languages. wow!
