I don't see anything wrong with Apple doing this. I mean, you have to make new folks feel welcome and like they've made a good decision. Keep in mind though, Apple is a corporation and as one the only thing they care about is profits and th

What I got out of the article seems to be more important than the number of users this could impact. 1. A vital piece of the operating system was compiled with debug flags intact. 2. Apple's lack of response on the issue. I think this goes

I'm not selling you an excuse. I'm just saying this certainly played a big part of why he became successful. Stanford has a solid track record for successful start-ups. In my opinion, applying to YC and hoping to get in versus having staff

I don't really know if there is much to analyze. The guy went to Stanford and had the priviledge to meet other great folks with the same passion. His connections and this environment is what made him successful.

Compare this to a more recent job posting, which more frequently reads like "Looking for a code ninja to make our photo-sharing app beautiful. You need to be awesome and make shit happen." Funny and sad at the same time.

Perhaps computer science wasn't widespread as formal area of study in universities at the time, so people were looking for the next best candidate, who is someone good at physics and math?

So, Google offers classes on how to cope with working at Google. I guess the amenities at Googleplex somehow hide the fact that you're just a slave.

Uh, if only it was this easy... Everyone i know is already using Dropbox.

The sad thing about Dropbox is that my free Dropbox account has less space than my free gmail account. If I found a service which was as reliable and provided at least 7 gigs of free space, I would jump ship w/o thinking twice.

Christ, 78 mil for an app that shares pictures. I must be the only one thinking this is money which could be used more wisely developing better medical equipment and generally solving real engineering problems.

My native language is Russian and I have never met a foreigner who mastered it even after years and years of practice. It is almost unheard of to find a foreigner who can speak and pronounce correctly. Usually it's one or the other. The maj

Honestly, 3/4 years ago i would pick another platform because deploying code in .NET was a complete nightmare. Nowadays things have changed a bit. You have transforms. You have TeamBuild with TFS, which is very solid, but can still be a pai

You're not going to get much here other than Macbook. :) Check out Dell's XPS series. I own the quad core XPS 15 and absolutely love the performance and battery life.

I only wonder what everyone's opinion on someone who goes to work from 9-5 to do the job they love, then come back home to live the life they love, which doesn't involve reading about the company they work for or reading tech news or doing

From my experience with Agile, I believe that most companies do it wrong. I know my company does. But it helped us dig 2 projects out of the never-ending abyss of scope creep and constant end-user changes when we converted to Scrum. So when

It's pretty scary considering what just happened to Megaupload. I suppose one could implement some sort of community-driven screening process for sellers. Thanks for posting this!

I stopped reading about 3 "fucks" into it. Certainly not the writing style I would consider reading. Good luck with the project. Looks interesting.

I too have second thoughts about .NET. I absolutely love C#. I've worked in just about any language & dev stack out there and, to me, nothing comes close to the immense power of C#. My biggest gripes with .NET is tooling and deployment

I'll be honest here. I worked on the same exact idea and ended up abandoning it when i discovered your app on techcrunch a few months back. Couldn't have done it better! Great job! I'm glad it's moving forward! My only question is how do yo

I'm a web developer trying to be a designer as well and the one thing that always frustrates me with HTML 5 resources is that they focus on the definition of each new element and not proper use which preserves its semantic value within a do

It's an interesting idea, but pretty much unusable at this point. Definitely needs filtering, searching and a better UI with clean separation of submissions (think StackOverflow).

I think it's a good list of ideas which sadly will not appeal to most entrepreneurs. You may disagree, but I personally think that founders tend to run away from scientific research and for good reasons. It's very hard to find funding if th

ADP (www.adp.com) is a company which provides pretty much all of the mentioned services. My employer uses them as the corporate portal for W2s, vacation/sick time and etc. The user experience is terrible and the site won't render right in a

This is not a hoax. It was on Russian national news network at about the same time when one of their satellites came down.
