I think mostly its because of ideological difference (small government, national debt, non-republican government) over actual rational opinion on economics (This is not to say I support or disapprove of the bailout). If this was a non-ideol

Holy smokes, how did I never see this one before? As it is I never had high regards for MSFT, but this takes things to a whole different level.

Google and Mozilla did several AMAs on reddit too (I am trying to dig them out), they were done by no-bs engineers without PR people and lawyers hanging over their heads. Edit: I couldn't find the Mozilla AMA yet (I thought they fixed the

To be fair about the criticisms, it seemed to me like somebody made a list of things they could possibly do wrong while doing a reddit AMA (in front of a bunch of hardcore tech people) and then went on making those mistakes. What were they

At this point I am starting to feel sorry for the MSFT guys. Its quite obvious that the engineers don't run the show, they just do whatever the profit-making overlords wants them to do.

Man, they are getting ripped apart in the comments (They had it coming with the previous response). Whats annoying is that the Product managers are still answering more questions than the engineers and as usual dodging a lot of them with PR

I trust you. But how much of that is Arrington's headache? The server is hosted by Wordpress VIP, and they mostly like down't have a full-time developer and sys-admin like Mashable does. Does the editor and founder of Mashable maintain the

Thats exactly what I was thinking, besides independent contact workers (in my experience) doesn't care much if the work is boring as long as they are getting paid. Thats why to me the excuse seemed empty and makes no sense.

Just replying to my own post to mention that I didn't get around to it yet... No excuses really. Just being lazy. Hopefully soon :)

Since this is Arrington you have to take things with a grain of salt. The technical reason seems like a very bogus reason. Its true that the TC design could use some help and the general site layout and speed could use some improvement. But

Why are you surprised so many people agrees with him? Do you think it might be possible that MG's writing is really bad and a lot of people sees it but you don't?

When did I say your experience is not valid? If you feel 0-click is must have feature and DDG search is better than Google search good for you. The text you quoted was my opinion, was it not obvious enough?

I have some ideas... I put a note on my task list to make sure that I email you (from the feedback page) on some of the things I believe might put you apart from others and also better promote your existing features (some of which I just sa

Do you think in the future you might exclusively use your own index and not be depended on others? Let's say hypothetically tomorrow, all the search API you rely on, decides to cut you off, what then? How good is your own index by itself? J

The only rational reason to use DDG over Google is that for some reason you are on the extreme end of the paranoia towards Google or any other search engine. That itself is not much of a good argument as there are number of things you can d

I think the name is the only thing that is wrong with DDG. Another thing, I personally don't feel quite right about using a search engine that relies quite heavily on other search engines to give results. From what I understand DDG is not a

Dude, there is post right now on the FP about this. Even assuming you didn't see it why would you submit a regurgitation of the original news source? Please don't make this site a TC RSS feed. Flagged.

He makes a living from his blog. Of course he is marketing something. He is very proud of it and he mentions it often. He is not hiding it. Is this your first encounter with his blog?

He doesn't. (at least AFAIK) Steve has some excellent articles on time management and I have been following his writing for some time now. Though some of his views are outside of my comfort zone, I have matured enough to not be judgmental a
