So it takes less people than ever to start a company, and that's supposed to be a bad thing? They could have easily framed it as "its cheaper than ever to operate a start-up". A more interesting angle would be to compare the total number o

Just as "(some) MBAs are as useless as French Windows on a submarine", so are (some) programmers, and (some) doctors, and (some) <insert profession here>. Did you think that bashing on people with an MBA degree was going to lend cr

They can change the physical width of the device while making the change transparent to apps. I wouldn't put much stock into this.

20% of Android devices in the field are 2.2 or earlier. Its hard to tell a company that they should cut out 20% of their Android users in order to take advantage of the latest APIs.

The self-driving car could disrupt all sorts of industries beyond automobile manufacturers or oil companies. The value of scarce parking could plummet, as a self-driving car can drop off passengers at a destination and seek out cheaper, al

None of this matters if the market expects significant growth in profits. FB's customer growth rate can be zero, but still command a price premium based on expected future profit growth. Given Facebook's broad customer base, and perceived

Sorry, if you actually read the claims of his patent before making your comment, you would have seen the phrase "consisting of one tuner" on the second line. Apple TV has no tuner. You can't cherry pick the claims.

Its not the legal system that worries me, but instead, its how the tech community seems to misunderstand how the patent system works. I am not a lawyer, but through this whole affair, I have listened to tech pundits and others opining abou

I think the point is that Samsung didn't patent "emailing pictures from a phone", but they did patent a very specific, integrated method of doing so. If somebody (Apple) offered the same function, but implemented it differently than as cla

I believe that this link is the 460 patent that the guy mentioned: http://www.google.com/patents/US7577460 The content presented in the patent drawings at the bottom are hardware-heavy, and the patent claims and diagrams discuss voltage c

Sorry, what's your point? Four of the jury members worked for tech companies.

You cannot dismiss a jury member's own experiences from their decision making process. It was the attorney's job to vet for the jury for problematic backgrounds, and to toss out those that they were concerned about. The fact that this p

If you are going to be driving a considerable distance (500-700 miles) in a short amount of time (such as a long weekend trip), renting a car makes sense. I have done so a few times, at a cost of barely more than $100 each time.

He isn't quite (yet) the household name of those people that you mentioned, in addition to a host of others.

These jury instructions were not 100+ pages of narrative. They were mostly "check the box" questions. I don't know if it's unreasonable to go through them in a few days if you already had a general feeling that Samsung had done wrong.

That Wikipedia article described USPS PO Boxes. Private companies (Mailboxes Etc, etc) have offered similar services in the US for years, although they are not technically a PO Box. They may have similar requirements, but the link that yo

The $1,000 price-point is for pc tablet, which sounds more useful for the enterprise market. The ARM tablet, which is more in-line to what you describe, is supposedly going to be $500-600.

I wish people would stop comparing G+ and Facebook. Even though Google+ has a social network app, G+ is really the identity and behavior-tracking glue of a horizontally integrated system. I wouldn't be surprised if G+ the social network re

Is this close to what's actually happening here? I ask because this contrasts significantly from what happens with Windows Phone app updates, even though you have similar testing issues (different hardware). What's so special about the Xbo

How much work (number of hours) goes into testing this type of game? Using $150/hour as a basis, that would cover 266 hours of testing time. As somebody with no experience in game testing, this sounds more like government pricing in aeros
