I'm not sure I follow you there, the web has always been more than just html content delivered to your browser. I mean now there is even more access to raw data (json/xml based API) less need to build html parsers and try to scrape sites.

I'm thinking that maybe this has nothing to do with mobile web vs native app this could be desktop vs mobile. This post makes it out to be like native apps are gimping the user share from mobile web but I just thinks it's people doing what

Looks to me like we are going full circle back to the command line with this. I mean, what's the difference between this and a command line shell with fuzzy matching? I like Ubuntu being experimental but right now I'm having pains with Unit

I don't think movies have to dye for this RFS to work just that the business model that Hollywood uses isn't working. Putting a ton of money in a few blockbusters and trying to squeeze every last penny from DVD/BR sells isn't the way to go.

I think video games is one of the reasons Hollywood is dying in the first place. What other thing in the last 30 years has really been a direct competition to Hollywood. The Internet is definitively on the list too.

I had a similar feeling, basically the comment can be considered slanderous. I do have to agree with the site that they might not be able technically to give the info. I don't think whistle blower laws apply to someone making a post on the

Ever walked into a department store like Macy's? It's all ripoff from designers. There is no copyright on clothe design yet that hasn't killed the designer clothing market. Counterfeit goods to my knowledge fall under trademark laws.

I'm feel the same as you. I pay 30 a month for espnplayer.com to watch NCAA football games for my college. I mean my wife thinks I'm nuts but there is a legal way to watch these games so I pay for it. Now I can't seem to find something like

And in most cases you pay for a unique concert, sure it's the same songs as the last show but musicians rarely play the music exactly the same way. The best concert include a lot more than just playing the songs. It's worth paying for. The

I agree with you on this. They have some really good things that they squander with bad management. Delicious should have replaced what ever was being developed internally since it was clearly superior but the company is full of politically

Yeah and what does Dodd and the MPAA call those stupid warnings and crap they add at the beginning of every movie telling us we are thief etc. ? If you don't know what I mean, here is a funny parody of these warnings: http://www.youtube.co

This is starting to go offtopic but, I'd like to see data that shows that gun related death excluding accident are more linked to business criminals or gangs. My current belief is most gun death are due to smaller things like family issues,

Not true, your government can through diplomatic means have an impact. You could call whomever represents you or even call the US embassy.

This bill also puts US companies at a serious disadvantage internationally. Imagine a Canadian Paypal. They wouldn't have restriction like this (yet, it will surely follow as the US puts a lot of pressure on Canada in these subjects). This

There is one thing that really annoy me with the autohide feature. When you want to close the window the launcher often gets in the way. My mother got a little annoyed at this since I upgraded her computer to 11.10.

All valid points but then youtube is doing something that allows them to detect even derived work albeit they do have access to the full video so that might not work for everyone. At the very least with a registration based system it's clea

What follows is a just a completely hypothetical idea that shouldn't be taken seriously ;p Let's say we went from "everything has copyright" to "you must register with the copyright office to get a copyright". Now it does have a lot of draw

I don't like mentality like you represent in this post, not everyone who buys domains is a funded tech company or anything like that. In the end if a company is offering the same service at a lower price why would you not go with that one?

How does it calculate the size of the code base for each language? Most people would be using jquery as a minified oneliner. How can that inflate the numbers so much?

If you are building something for wide market use then definitively don't use these new features until they are supported by multiple vendors. But before standardization can happen things have to be tried out, I don't see what all the negat

They don't seem to care about learning any of it, in fact seeing how a lot of those congressmen were against having technical experts comment on the bill, I don't see why they would care about reading anything on how DNS works and why secur
