Was the NYT headline updated? It currently reads 'How Andreessen Horowitz Bunted on an Instagram Investment'. The piece describes how Andreessen Horowitz invested in both Burbn & Picplz. After Burbn pivoted to Instagram, Andreessen Horo

2 bros is good for what it represents - $1 pizza. It's good/decent when it's hot, but it's unappetizing once it cools down.

Would the release have been discussed in the monthly issue of Nintendo Power? Or maybe the magazine didn't exist in 1985?

An infographic with eBay classifieds displayed prominently comes to the conclusion that it's cheaper to buy/sell on eBay than to move across country? Totally shocking </sarcasm>

AT&T is vile garbage. I'm grandfathered into their unlimited plan, but throughout NYC, at work, and at home, my reception is spotty at best. As discussed in this thread, their customer service is non-existant. With an unlimited data pla

Facebook is useful for letting you know when it is your friends' birthdays. Ironically, I don't list my birthday on Fb, because that's one piece of information that is relevant for identity fraud.

I use FB for what it is - a way to keep in touch with people I don't see often. From my point of view, most people are on FB, some are on Twitter, and almost nobody is on G+.

tl;dr - Data is the future (what Google is collecting); Apple squeezing manufacturers on price leading to poor working conditions is bad.

There is real value: People who do not have time to check craigslist's free section around the clock are able to buy items at less than retail price.

Nearly every game has many derivative elements, but the problem is that Zynga's M.O. is to blatantly reproduce games. The other issue is that Zynga's "games" are more cow clicker monetization vehicles than entertaining games. "I don't fucki

This isn't pivoting. This is smart marketing to the right audience. Never mind the fact that Pivot is yet another startup buzzword, pivoting is what Instagram did [0]: completely change their app from check-ins (think Foursquare) to a simpl

That implies that Google is going against the user's best interests by providing less relevant search results today with SPYW. Which I'd agree with. In my own network, Fb > Twitter > G+

In addition to contacting my congress persons, I signed the Google petition. The Google petition appears to be a blackhole as I can't view what I'm actually signing before or after signing it. My preference would have been for Google to hav

Great read, it's interesting that they built such a big game and trimmed so much: "Diablo II took more than 40 people and over three years, essentially because we made two or three games and pared them down to the best one." They dogfooded:

Why does Amazon need to open retail stores? The stores where you can examine Amazon products already exist, they're just called Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.

Icon links instead of Text links is not a clear improvement. Just like the current Gmail redesign, this Fb redesign has icons (with no text labels) that force you to mouseover the icons in order to determine what you're clicking on. While p

Along the same lines, you can no longer tell instantly if an item is shared (via the bottom of the content). Before, sharing an item would change the text to "Shared" so that you could both 1.) see that it was shared and 2.) click again to

Yes, the post is pretty flimsy, but it does speak to the message of doing something VS reading news and pretending to be productive. Keeping up with HN, TC, etc. is easy to rationalize as a productive use of your time when it really is not.

I'm stuck in plat as well, but I really don't put that much time into best practices. Somehow my PvT has gotten better while my other two matches have gone down the drain. It's too easy to watch top KR GM's stream and the hours just pass by
