   Right, but other sites scrape that free info and republish it with the goal of drawing traffic. Apparently, Stack Overflow has an API. I don't know the functionality of their API, but it doesn't matter: via API or web scraping, the content

    Quack Alert I'm just relaying what I've heard, so take it with a grain of salt, but on an episode of No Agenda, Adam Curry says that he had dinner with a guy who worked in stem cell research in Germany (I'm fairly certain it was Germa

    In addition to opposing CISPA on moral grounds, do you think that Facebook's attitude towards similar issues and their willingness to compromise user privacy will have a negative financial impact? That is, will enough users turn away from F

    When speaking at Y Combinator's Startup School, Mark Zuckerberg made it clear that some people can do a great service for the world, even if their only motive is to "be an entrepreneur". Zuckerberg said that he created Facebook because he f
