Oh and to summarize the story. According to a DOJ consultant Sanford Litvack Google they were 3 hours away from filing anti-trust charges against Google when the plug was pulled on the Yahoo! deal. Another source here: http://www.techflash

I think it's interesting that Arrington assumes that humans remove objectivity. The BBC for example was always seen as an objective observer of news in the UK. If an editor merely caught "temporal" errors then I don't see a problem.

How many Perl jobs are turning into Cobol-esque jobs. Maintain a legacy systems and keep it chugging along. How many people build new projects in Perl?

One of the new features that this App provides (above just the usual Amazon features) is the ability to take a photo of stuff you want to "remember". Seem like they Turk it in order to figure out what it is and then recommend products on Am

I thought it would have been nice to use the full quote in the post title. It makes it sounds like a faux pas. Twitter CEO: "It's amazing anyone uses Twitter today. It's hard". Which an extremely honest and candid answer in a discussion. It

In that case why dispute the claim? Or at least why not add small print to clarify the point to a layman that performance varies.

Aside from the content of the article I actually really enjoyed the honest reporting in this article. It was really nice to read some techpress that wasn't wrapped in a layer of the usual BS and just talked candidly about what happened at t

It's a shame Dopplr isn't in that list instead of Trippit. I prefer them in almost every way to Trippit, and the chaps who work on it are jolly nice. Trippit have been excellent at Business development though, and I wonder how much better D

This is one of the things that amazes me, that it's not actually illegal for advertising to issue falsities in the US. I'm pretty sure that's not true back home in the UK, or at least there is an industry watchdog that can punish people who

I would say there is a difference between people and companies. You saying twice as big is different from Hummer saying it. They should know the dimensions of their vehicles. Secondly I think that making a claim that was reasonably rounde

The trick is to give people something they want to tell their friends about. The more viral, the better. It might start with a few geeks but once it's got out to non-geeks it'll spread. Obviously viral will only help you if you have somethi

In some ways this article highlights how fragile Google is. If you think about how quickly Google cleaned up in the search market and yet 97% of their revenues are web Ad based (according to the article). While not all of those are going to

But isn't that the choice of the App developer. It just seems really arbitrary of Apple to pick a set number.

This would have been good for the person asking us to review his app yesterday.The limit of 50 seems pretty arbitrary though. Having a secret free iTunes link would seem to make more sense to me.

Right, but you didn't say "Leah being good lucking probably helps" you boiled her down to a single attribute which was looks. Inc and the rest of the tech press have featured plenty of less attractive people who get a professional photoshoo

I know Leah and she is also sick of comments like that. Aside from being one of the lead engineers on Pownce she wrote parts of the OAuth spec as well as the standard Python implementation. Why not comment on her engineering talents instead

The NYT seems to think it "provokes questions over online identity" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/28/us/28internet.html?ref=tec... ) not that they don't publish rhetorical Orwell inspired headlines. However, as I said above they jury uph

This article seems to draw some big conclusions from seemingly little research. If the author had used Yahoo's OpenId IDP they would know you can log in as "yahoo.com" and then choose a site specific anonymous OpenId. That and the charges i

If you can put this in an air application wrapper that would be amazing. I think markessien has a great point. A lot of enterprises don't want their office worker in browsers (however lame that sounds) and may not be comfortable sending you
