Why are they complaining so much? If it works DARPA, SpaceX, VirginGalactic, ESA and NASA will pay more than you can ever spend. When they didn't get the attention of these guys so far, there is probably a mayor catch. Edit: What i mean is

The question would be then what the beginning of quantum mechanics is. They are also laws and why do they exist? The question "why" is probably wrong here, that implies a reason where we will never find one. These thoughts that we are a pro

Ad Sense is not the work horse at Google. I can look up how much percent it is from total revenue, but it is not that high. Edit: I looked it up, everything they call Google Network (probably Doubleclick, Youtube, AdSense) is less that half

This is my personal experience, obviously. Was your campaign successful? I heard bad things about return rates.

If Facebook stagnates, their IPO and future earnings wouldn't generate enough cash to compete with Google. This is the long term view.

It's extremely difficult to create a new revenue stream as a big company. Facebook doesn't have a further scalable business model and i don't see them looking for a new one like Google does. Instagram was a defensive move, exactly the oppos

A friend of mine works there since 2006. They don't get enough press in my opinion, but the topic is not suitable for mass media.

The basic problem in my opinion is they don't do anything special to differentiate themselves. Google Maps for example, not a big revenue point but they claimed leadership in web development trough it. Facebook has so many engineers and ove

They should take an Fail Fast approach, why not make several test flights at 10000 and look for problems. 400 Million for the first flight seems really expensive.

Nord Korea is not as stable as it seems, they are really much defined by their foreign policy. Technology there is comparable to Cold War times. UAE or Saudi Arabia is a much better example for something like that.

Google can sue Bing to the ground, it's a cold war anyway. They will never go directly against each other. There are just proxy wars. Maybe they did it for the same reason Google bought Motorola, to prevent a havoc AOL.

Absolutely. When you can build your own ships in this game with a changing interior i am sold. We are talking about the creator of Minecraft here, maybe he is the one who really get's this freedom stuff.

We will see more of these articles, a lot of people have stock in Facebook and this lawsuit directly affects the price. There will be a big PR fight for a high IPO valuation.

I don't get that whole Facebook thing, there is stuff that is work related and stuff that is not. Why is this even an issue? If they assume anything, they should let the police investigate it. Why don't do they ask for the phone number from

Google owns an ecosystem, that is something WP7 has not. Win8 will have difficulties with the Windows legacy. Play will probably run Chrome what is a formidable brand, Google want's to go ChromeOS in the long term anyway. Don't forget it is

You are right, but an open sourced QNX would be a great thing. The best outcome i can think of: BB sells QNX SS to Google and they develop it in the open with an improved license. They could use it for all their Google X stuff. All the robo

I think Python 3.0 is really well executed. With such a big ecosystem this takes a while, but when you wait too long somebody else eats your lunch.

What happens to QNX? Please Open Source it! This would be way more interesting than WebOS.
