They changed it since this hit the top of Hacker News, I'm REALLY impressed with the speed of rolling something like that out on the fly.

I think that's exactly the problem though. With Comp Sci and Academia people from top to bottom, you don't get enough people that care about customer service or business issues.

I find it hard to believe they offered to buy her a new place and stuff before this story blew up, that just seems like bad business. It seems like it would easily fix the PR nightmare if they sent all of their evidence of these offers to t

That's what I was thinking, they didn't understand the gravity of this case because I imagine at AirBnB volume, this must happen at least once a day somewhere. That said, from a customer support point of view, you never know which negative

Eventually profit? Last I heard they were on track to make $100 million this year.

If someone comes from Craigslist, you can at least Google for their name, try to find a Facebook page, etc... BEFORE they enter your house. At best, the way it is for the author, she could have done some checking, but at that point the fre

That was my first thought, that these "computer analysts" of the 70s were glorified secretaries running punch cards through a system. It seems like I would have remembered or known a few more older female computer scientists if they were r

+1's are linked to individual Google accounts, it's probably more effective to ban the actual accounts. Also for those who said it's bot nets, typically the way these things work is the people doing the "plussing" get paid a very small cut

I know I've had to go to the one near me a couple of times because it's the closest psudo electronics store, so when I've needed something at the last minute or right away and didn't feel like driving 20 min to the suburbs.

To be fair Jeb Bush hasn't been president, and there are relatively few dynasties in the US (there's also the Kennedy's, the Gore's, the Paul's, but most don't make it to be President)

The reversing of the scrolling direction is certainly going to take a lot of getting used to. The new way feels semi-natural with the track pad, but with a mouse wheel not so much.

Don't many companies pay nothing? IE if my company earns $100k and I pay out $100k in salaries and overhead, there is nothing left to tax as all my expenses were deductible? Google may pay 2.4% but presumably the money is getting taxed at

I understand their "pro-bootstrap/anti-VC funding" agenda, but I'm not quite sure why they are so anti-acquisition?

I agree with you, though it seems like there was some decent money and time put into this (the video production seems professional), I can't figure out what 37sigs motivation for this is though. Eventual DVD sales?

They never promise or make it transparent, although in an earnings call in Q1 2007 they basically said they only keep 25% (they generated $1.2B and paid out $916m). I have noticed that this year my AdSense revenue has fallen even though cli

So banning the accounts is the end result? Aren't these throwaway accounts that can be recreated in a second? It seems like a reasonable concept to filter the Tweets from getting to me in the first place, I'm guessing a "spam box" is a li

I feel the same way, I initially really liked Evernote on Desktop, but it's much more clunky then just using Notepad on my iPhone. Plus the notes don't work (well?) when you are without Internet or the Internet is bad like at SXSW.

Reading the comments of this thread, I wonder if anyone actually reads the linked articles anymore. A bunch of discussions about why Google+ is better then Facebook etc... no one seeming to notice the article was comedy, and hilarious.

I was thinking Google Hangouts may be the thing that prevents Turntable.fm from gaining more traction, you can essentially already "ghetto dj" in a hangout by playing YouTube videos of music.
