Striving to maximize revenue is great. However, I don't see this particular issue as black and white as you present it. This will certainly make some websites less profitable, but I doubt that it would bring an end to the free web. In fa

How does blocking third party Javascript prevent the sites that you mention from monetizing?

I would love a Google-operated, tech-talk only conference, without the product announcements, give-aways, etc.

@jacquesm, in the case of a twitter button, or FB like button, those can usually be removed without significant impact to the overall user experience. A Disqus commenting engine is not as easily removed/replaced, especially given the poten

That's a much more scalable approach. Supercharging stations, etc, seem like an insufficient band-aid. Imagine a gas station with each pump occupied for 30 minutes a piece.

"Likely" and unsubstantiated guess aren't the same thing.

I assume that such a lease approach would have to carry insurance to cover battery damage, similar to buying coverage for car rentals. At least with car rentals, the insurance isn't very affordable, and leads to some people being irrespons

I assume that you know that the OPer has no personal linkage to, or understanding of, the Korean situation? Or did you make a convenient assumption?

Do you mean carry an extra battery, or do an exchange? While you "could" do an exchange, similar to how propane tank exchanges work, do you really want to be trading your pampered battery in for some random battery with an unknown history?

Some US universities operate on a quarter calendar (4 terms per year), while others use a semester calendar. Semester terms are roughly 5 months long. I am not familiar with any other calendar terms used in the US.

My 8 year old son wants to do the same. Have you found any resources that would be helpful for somebody with intermediate java skills (me) but no modding experience get up to speed with modding minecraft? Modding minecraft could be a great

I really don't understand your comment about "limitations of the format". If you mean the Farmville model, why would Zynga be tied to that, beyond their own inability to innovate?

We know that there are more people willing to pay between $300 and $350 than Google/LG produced. We just don't know how many phones Google/LG has produced. If the supply of Nexus 4's were anywhere similar to the number of Samsung Galaxy S

It wouldn't be the first time that Google releases something in very limited quantities and very high demand. In fact, they do it every year (Google IO tickets), and raise the stakes every time. In fact, the Nexus 4 release was very remini

Its debatable whether Google or LG are losing out on anything. We just don't know enough. For example, what if Google is selling the Nexus 4 at a loss? Selling more means losing more money. Whatever is the cause for the limited supply, t

Considering that Zavers is almost unknown, going forward with the name essentially is a new branding effort.

Mobile friendly is low hanging fruit. How many improper up/down votes have resulted because of an insanely difficult up/down arrow touch-point? I know that I am responsible for a few.

As an Android user, I would guess that the most significant reason why Android users browse less may have more to do with conserving the battery than anything else. My experience with Android and the battery life has been miserable. My Ne

I have a Nexus 4, and this is completely over-blown. Mind you, my experience with the iphone is infrequent (wife has one), but I find the browsing experience on the Nexus 4 to be fine.

Equally as important (for some people), is that these free services are sometimes only free up until they gain enough mass to become a real business. People should consider these free services as limited time offers, which may require swit

You forgot the "get off my lawn" bit. But, honestly, young kids these days want the fast feedback, and the likes of Ida help make the hobby approachable.

I can understand some people being fatigued from companies defining their own metrics to justify success. In some cases, its comical. Google is more susceptible than many to this reaction because of their industry position, and their attemp

I don't know whether Tesla can maintain their technical advantage once the market becomes more interesting to the larger manufacturers. Whatever advantage they have today is irrelevant. The capabilities of the current crop of vehicles is s

That depends on where (if) the luxury competition needs to catch up. Tesla's differentiator is the electric powertrain. If they can stay ahead of the competition through technology (not large LCD's, etc), then they may have a chance. Some

Tesla carries the banner for upper-scale electric vehicles. If you substitute the electric motor with a petrol engine, are they still so distinctive? If the big luxury/sporty brands entered the electric car market in full-force (several m

As you may know, the mandatory consecutive days of vacation time isn't due to the kindness of their heart. Instead, it's an audit control. The idea is that if you are forced to stay away from work for some amount of time, it's harder to c
