The thing that interests me is whether he’s committed himself to becoming a hacker too. That’s the connection (for me) that’s missing from the interview – how did he end up leading a software company? Did he have a hacker epiphany? And can

I think it's important to consider Fred's clarification in the comments section: "when i say "feeds" I don't really mean RSS/google reader/blogines/netvibes they are part of what i am talking about, but just a part of it the facebook news f

Whilst I agree with Matt's advice, I disagree that the law is not logical. It is fundamentally logical and shares many of the ideas found in logic: evidence, probability, relevance, reasonableness, precedent, presumption, proof, explanation

Quote: "It [EU Information Commission] said anyone using Phorm must ask for the consent of users before going ahead with any further trials." Slightly worrying that such a comment needs to even be made.

“We designed Karatr to be the place to easily find the finest jewelry and watches.” I typed in “Rolex” and was confronted with a list of Rolex-style watches. That’s not the finest choice that I was expecting. “Karatr is a search engine whe

Have you asked yourselves: for what liability/tax/funding reason is incorporation necessary? Check out this thread http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=244009 (there may be others). Maybe then speak with an accountant or attorney to explor

I think the more interesting part of this story is to delve into Brad Burnham’s musings on Web meets World. Especially his quoting of Tim O’Reilly: “We can post and comment and tweet and tag and follow all we want in cyberspace; but if it

Alternate theory: The Internet is a dangerous idea – cf Raganwald last post. Religions would probably prefer to keep followers away from the web and in a place of worship, where there is more direct idea control; therefore would be less in
