I don't place wireless data access on the same level as health coverage. I use Sprint which has unlimited data and unlimited data is a very good sign that competition still exists in the wireless market. Once it goes, perhaps it will be tim

Steam has little to worry about in regards to the Windows App Store. They just need to keep pushing platforms, keep securing great titles, and RELEASE ANOTHER DAMN HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE. Exclusively on Steam of course. Steam is pretty great a

"Cue predictable squawking on the internet." And cue predictable anti-squawking squawking on the internet. The internet is a place for communication and people are allowed to express themselves. It's not entitlement. The entire goal of a so

I still think the rant is little more than link-bait (which used to be called flame-bait) but I feel the same way about iOS app startups. They should each memorize that quote.

Choosing Pealk as the example in this very short rant is a classic Straw man argument. What about Padmapper?

Lol. This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. In my head jashkenas looks just like this guy when he writes like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7c/Lulz_Sec...

"Whoa there nellie. Complexity ahoy." Mixing metaphors? Is it a horse or a ship you are riding? It's really hard to read the rest of your technical reasoning (which makes sense) with opening statements like that.

Dropbox writing their TOS in a way that non-lawyers can read it was a good move here. Neither TOS really effects anything being done with your data in a practical way but the PR Dropbox is getting from theirs is worth 100x the time they put

A beautifully written but easily misunderstood statement. Thanks for sharing. I have read it at least 3 times today. I came here expecting the worst from what can be a youth-worshipping and wealth-worshipping crowd at times but was rather p

I know he sounds old. I know there are more than a few inconsistencies in the article but try and understand him rather than just debate him. He has a different perspective than most of us and for me, it was interesting.

Heroku was acquired and is an excellent example of YC startups being the product traditional corporations purchase.

Some very interesting interaction design work too. Can I ask who did it?

I was pretty skeptical after my hate-hate affair with FogBugz but Trello's design, marketing and OOBE are far and away the best in the category. I need to use it more but it just doesn't have whatever Pivotal has that scares away non-devs a

"The IE monopoly with ActiveX" I certainly remember and that's what your comment made me think of. It's not QUITE the same thing as it is supposed to compile to js but yeah, I get the comparison and would prefer to have no single-corporatio

"First, the reverse-engineering costs of Dart are much higher than of XHR." Does this matter if it's open source? Not being combative, I'm actually asking. "It seems to me that a lot of you 'bring on our new overlords' boosters" Well shit.

Don't be ridiculous. The entire spec is to be open source. This is nothing like Internet Explorer. If Internet Explorer played this nice when it wanted to innovate (AJAX) from the beginning it would probably still be relevant. Is Mozilla th

M$ is seriously over thinking this. The first commentator on the post has it right. Step one should just be to theme Windows7 with the metro look, and apply animations to complete it. Having the two world design is less than ideal and unfor

Stocks are pointless, 401ks are dropping, inflation is high... Sounds like a good time to spend your money on a new company with actual profit potential.

"...no capital gains tax on any shares of stock (private or public company) held for 5 years or more, and no tax on dividends paid to shareholders who have held stock in the company for more than 5 years." Wow. That would change Wall Street

My wife: "Will you take the trash out?" Me: "Yeah, for sure. I'll take it out tonight." Tonight rolls by and the next day she tells me "You didn't take out the trash. You lied." Did I lie? Or did I have honest intentions of taking out the t
