   I find Americans view "America" as "The World". I'm not questioning your metrics, your statistics, or the quality of UWashington, but I think you mean 'Public School'. The phrase state school is meaningles

   This is annoying. I really liked the WeAreHunted startup which was killed on acquisition. The Twitter app had different functionality, and wasn't able to hold a light to the WeAreHunted music recommendation service. I feel for the WeAr

   I don't understand your logic. Can you edit/modify/respond to my post in a way that shows that choosing to limit what certain people who work in the government wear is not racist? I don't want to start a flame war, but w

   As a Canadian, I'm more angry about the proposed human rights violations in Quebec. This "charter of values" is blatantly racist. http://www.nosvaleurs.gouv.qc.ca/en/propositions/3

    The wikipedia article[1] of Ghostery gives a quick & fast overview of what they do. MIT Technology review posted[2]: > Evidon sells two main services based on the data it collects. One allows website operators to see which tracking c

    Ironically, Ghostery is owned by Evidon who sells GhostRank data to businesses.

    I think the big move here is that they didn't publish it to their own http://code.google.com site.

    Maybe I'm missing something because I'm not in the US - what's so special about this? It looks like merely a link to the Spotify website.

    Wow, that's devotion. It's a huge platform, and the understanding that "even I can make that" is super-easy. I'm scared that it's Excel: it's such a crappy program, and wish it had a better language than VB. Unrelated: Metronews aims at a v

    Interesting how the economic impact of this isn't discussed. They very well could've done this years ago, and given the economy a boost. By not doing this, they hold back the American economy. As a non-American, I can only imagine the class

    Holy crap, that background image is huge. Why not use @media to change the size of the image downloaded from the server? Currently, it's heavy rain, but the image is of golden beams of sunlight in a forest. It's deceiving, but I don't mind
