If this line of reasoning were correct in general, then we would expect to see an astonishingly low number of people in any kind of relationship. The simple observation that people all over the world pair up quite readily suggests that this

> The article shows that the site works in IE9 and IE10. To return to the analogy, a closed store will have stocked shelves and a cash register on sundays. The problem is that the store owner doesn't want to pay someone to work sundays

You're missing a big point though. Does Pintrest need to internalize and take ownership over all of the content on the site in order to protect themselves legally? It seems that would open them up to far greater liability. And then in the s

I don't have any data to back this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if many/most of those writers are tech writers, bloggers and similar. Google were smart about who was let in on the ground floor. 1) People who have strong social graphs (on

No different from breaking and entering followed by theft? Come on. The reason this is a big debate in the first place is that people seem so compelled to shoehorn new technologies and new abilities into old categories. The world we live in

I don't think it matters that the median broadcast quality is getting better. 320x240 @ 15 fps was deemed high enough quality for the kind of reference/archive work that media monitors are doing. It's big enough that you can see what's goin
