That caught my eye too, because VCs never poured "billions" into any one company pre-dot-com bust. Unicorns were notable for being valued at $1B or more, but never raised that much in funding, and this only happened much later

I think there's a lot that's wrong with phones, but I can't help but think of scares from decades past that were laser-focused on inducing parental panic, but turned out not to be as harmful as initially reported: the fears

Your implausible estimate got me curious; so I checked[1,2] the first couple of result from Google on email marketshare. GMail is 27.7%. Apple has double the share, at 54%, you should be worried about Apple instead. 1. https://ww

Yakuake supports invoking the terminal in windowed-mode, if that's the profile you choose for it. I don't follow the purpose served by spawning an invisible background terminal; that doesn't seem to be common workflow, but I

What exactly are they in denial about? They are aware that software is not a strength of theirs, so they partner with those who are great at it. Would you say AMD is "shitting the bed" by not building it's own consoles too? Y
