What's the deal with headlines these days that any information about even not so popular products that no one cares about are also called 'leaked'? As if all companies care so much about secrecy and as if the whole world is waiting with bat

The tricky part is what makes all the difference. If majority are smart, democracy would suffice. If not, the constitution will just be treated as a piece of paper in a museum and being a republic would serve no purpose. A chain is only as

Before you get a chance to go to settings app and turn off mobile data, the OS probably already made 10 data requests to check 20 settings. It is data call. Whether the telco should count that as data and charge for it is a different questi

Telcos like AT&T are scum and they have a thousand shady ways to get money out of customers. But I don't think this is one of them. There is no way to use a smartphone without using data. Smartphone OSs use data in the background for so

if 'open' wants to compete, it should do so by being better than 'closed'. The argument in the article tries to outlaw being 'closed'. No one stops anyone from making any 'open' system (OS or hardware or whatever) and why should anyone stop

So, for the same profits, we had a stock price of 420 this time last year and ~515 today. So, you automatically assume 420 was the right number and 515 is not, and that it will head toward what you think is the right number? Got it.

This article hits the nail on the head. The system of one person or company doing something wrong and another making a promise to do things right is exactly why politics never improves. What is to stop the next person from turning evil too?

//Rather than just shouting "bubble" why not take an analytical approach to this by comparing them to other consumer SaaS companies. The companies you are comparing it to are part of the bubble too. Their valuations are not set in stone.

But isn't one rule of money that it should at least hold it's value? Isn't that the main reason gold was used before? What is the point of using something as money if it keeps decreasing in value?
