   I believe its called jargon. MBA's do tend to document jargon more than other professions, but every job has them.

   The employer owns the copyrights, patents, etc. Just like a journalist can take articles or emails from a former employer, neither can scientists take materials from a work-for-hire position.

   The fact is that authors just don't understand that they are needed less. There is a transformation from printing on dead trees to the freedom that the Internet gives people without copy restrictions. Its cheaper to build a computer network

   These are all the same things that people wrote back when Myspace was the 800 pound gorilla of social networking. Having expressed that, I think app.net's funding methodology sucks for a direct delivery to customer project.

   Since the patent is the property, there is therefore no need for a market.

    I remember on Myspace I had a lot of friends who were "99 years old". These sites are really about establishing a presence to sell artistic goods. The rest is kinda silly. Who has time to fill out Facebook like some sort of questionnaire? I

    Am I the only one who sees most of my Friends on Facebook filling out junk information. I have two kids, a wife, and no sibling on Facebook, but in reality those are just acquaintances, I have lots of siblings, but no wife, nor kids. Most o

    Try Android. It is a much larger platform and much more affordable for teens.

    That http://games.amazon.com/ is tied into Facebook apps and not the Amazon Fire[1] really shows the commitment to their own platform. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Appstore-Android-Game-App...

    Developers will soon turn to Google Play and the Amazon App Store which offers much better customer service.

    Same thing happened to me. I looked for XQuartz after the ML upgrade on my hard drive and found that it had not been uninstalled. So I ran Gimp and it requested XQuartz be installed and opened the download page. I downloaded and installed i

    I don't know if tragedy is the right word for this. We live in an era where the marketplace has more of an effect on the trends in computing than academia. Nothing tragic about that.

    Except that it won't, i.e. Microsoft in the 90's and Apple on the iOS/Mac platform. Businesses will follow the markets which have the greatest opportunity to turn over profit. In fact Microsoft used to call their relationship an "ecosystem"

    Thanks for the link. It inspired me to add to my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 techcrunch.com www.techcrunch.com I can't remember the last time I read something useful or interesting from that site, but if others get good PR, freelance work, o

    OK, thanks! I was looking to build something that combined gmail and craigslist. Haven't seen anything thus far.

    "...they[Craigslist] charged users to use a megaphone to announce that they were selling something." I don't get where you came up with that. It wasn't in the article at all.

    I wonder if there is a phone out there that just boots into a minimal android software stack with a Vim interface to the typical phone features, calling, texting, notes, etc. Touchscreen with a physical keyboard would make this the ultimate

    I actually like the red and black. It is powerful and direct, but probably won't appeal to all sensibilities. Good luck.

    I don't know if the culture which punishes those caught plagiarism more harshly than the others tends to have any long term advantages, but I can only hope so since I live in the US. This really needs a double blind test given the overwhelm

    Apple already uses AWS and Azure for iCloud, so this makes sense. "Apple has selected Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's AWS to jointly host its iCloud service" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/02/icloud_runs_on_micro...
