I took this to mean that Autodesk anticipated a decline in its own sales if an after market was allowed; and hence would need to raise prices to stay on track for revenue. Of course, the customers would just buy second hand s/w - which is w

From what I understood of the invite codes, only the direct invitees will have some invites (8). People who receive invites from friends will not get any. Therefore, the initial release is capped at 800,000 logins. Just wanted to clarify as

I still don't get to pick my own personal conf number with this approach, do I?

That would be the next level feature - ability to define your own pass key that you pass on to invitees and change every time. Professional conf systems offer that all the time

I want to agree with you, but what I am interested in knowing is why the boston doctor was insisting on a mobility test prior to surgery and why the small town folks were insisting on surgery first. The same thing happens in small town Indi

I was driving on CA-46 last week and had 5 mins of driving at 55mph left to get onto I-5. Suddenly, all traffic just stopped. I booted up google maps on my iphone and saw the remaining segment (to I-5) yellow. After a few mins, it had turne

There was a note about someone alleging the drugs were counterfeit. There could have been more details around that - who alleged it and why? Note that I am not siding with big pharma here - far from it. I am siding with balanced reporting.

Too short an article to form any real conclusions. No direct quotes from big pharma, no links to news about such confiscations. Waste of 2 mins.

Sounds like a great idea. I would definitely like to try it out in my organization. The few problems I see with the approach are: 1. For closed source companies, does this increase the recruiting complexity by requiring potential candidates

Interesting concept - reminds me of the black box on airplanes... From a privacy perspective, there shouldn't be any automatic upload of this information to apple's servers-only when you go in and ask for a replacement. We'll have to wait a

There should have been more specific details on the laws rather than the fear mongering followed by a few examples of people impacted. If there are thousands of people impacted by this every year, shouldn't they have done some more research

I wish it were that simple. If you had joined them two years ago, even if this is where the startup is today, you would have learnt a lot. One could make a case that it may even be better than school.

It would be good if we could look at his actual statement/blog post rather than an analysis. Given how so few of his words are mentioned in the "article", it makes me wonder if the 'press' is misinterpreting what he really said.

The company that I work in starts giving you responsibilities from the next level without a promotion and you only get promoted if you have completed 1 year of performing the next level responsibilities _well_.

This could probably be considered anti-competitive (using their search monopoly to push their other products). Even though the courts may rule their way, why should they bother?
