Let's not forget the information leaked to a third party by using such a service. Personally, I'd rather keep the data we collect to ourselves.

I'm not sure whether reviews qualify as a market action; what action comes as a result of a review? It could go either way as the interpretation of the review is up to the reader of the review. It seems that ebooks sales are causing more

I characterize the view that this is "largely Apple's fault" to be somewhat myopic. Apple responded to a condition in the market, namely, publishers were plenty upset that Amazon used their position as the only viable ebook venue at the ti

I was thinking the same thing, but it should be more like "Buy now with instant delivery $more" and "Buy now, delivery in 12 months $less". Buyer buys and then ebook is automatically synced to their device at the scheduled time. It would

This is a good object lesson in why you shouldn't take legal advice from someone posting on the web. The dude was wrong once, and perhaps twice if you are correct. Not to argue with your point, I just want to avoid playing armchair lawyer

It's Craigslist jargon. I learned it off the forums I was lucky enough to accidentally stumble into.

I dunno, it's pretty effective to narrow one's search by the part of town you're looking in, for example, in L.A. you can break it down by Central L.A., SF Valley, SG Valley, etc. and then search by city name. Click the map link to see whe

And that is how most of my interactions with Craigslist have gone off. However, there have been some more frustrating experiences. My friend getting his ad ghosted, when he was trying to post his mom's guest house for rent. And it costing

Well, they're still "the man", and they will let you know it if you don't cross your t's and dot your i's.

You're having a major case of the "whoosh". In the context of this conversation, if you are self-employed and/or own your own company, then "the man" is the government, your clients, possibly even your suppliers.

> Why is there apprehension about making money in startup land? Because then there would be real reference points for calculating valuation, which is counterproductive in an industry that relies on bubble economics.

No, that's just "the man" in your own mind. You still actually work for "the man".

by originalgeek 16y ago
The idea of not working for "the man" is merely an illusion. If you are freelance or a business owner, "the man" is your clients/customers and the government. Let's say your enterprise involves the illegal distribution of contraband, then "

Seems like that synergy is SOP for them. How many sales do they make every day?

Clearly this judge should have recused herself simply to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Any judge with even a sliver of integrity would have done so.

I think a better question is why hasn't Apple created the modern-day replacement for the record label of olde? You know, doing stuff to increase visibility of artists and pump up the various scenes than they currently do with their current

One might argue that gaining a level in the game is a captcha. Though, given your audience, it is probably not a nuisance like a traditional captcha.

The most telling part is he doesn't even have enough sense to recognize that blaming "them" only makes him look bad. I'll bet though there are plenty of "Bubble Boys" who just can't wait to lose money on his next venture.
