I lost any faith in these companies doing any sort of sound geological work when a company disposing of fracking water placed their injection well near a fault and caused a rash of earthquakes in the area the well was built. I'm not in

Prophetically, and maybe ironically, fracking service infrastructure in my hometown, Youngstown, Ohio, is being built on the same land that the steel mills sat abandoned for decades.

> proven short-term penny-wise/pound-foolish idiocy of MBA-think. This is a completely unjust attack. Quite frankly, I have no idea what "MBA-think" even is. You make an assumption that an MBA making a bad decision is maki

Another thing about the date picker that was at least happening on my desktop: when it expands, it expands well beyond the bounds of the mobile phone container they're using in their example: http://i.imgur.com/oOQFBs4.

The article bring up a smart concept -- marketers, don't have tunnel vision and focus too much on A/B testing, you may not be testing the right marketing strategies or business model -- but the headline is utterly ridiculous.

Like most other job titles involving the web, I think "Product Manager" can mean different things to different companies. Coming from the traditional marketing definition of the role, a product manager is typically the "CEO&q

If you're hiring someone to do SEO, they need to not only implement SEO tactics (like you say, URL's, title tags, robots, GWT, etc.), but also create a surrounding SEO program/strategy. Doing things like keyword research, sel

There are already products available to satiate hunger/nutrition without having to cook and aren't fast food and have been around for decades. I'm not going to knock Soylent as being dangerous or stupid. Quite frankly, I don&

I never knew Trader Joe's and Aldi's were related companies. I had jokingly referred to Trader Joe's as the "Aldi's" or organic food stores, but never thought the comparison was so close. I was mostly basing it

Silver seems to fit in with the Grantland side of ESPN, but also seems too big for Grantland. It will be interesting to see how he fits in on that network, given his more complicated analysis. He never seemed nearly as compelling on TV as h

Living in Northeast Ohio, I'm fairly accustomed to seeing these blimps in the air all the time. Are the Goodyear Blimps still a big deal in the rest of the country? They're at every major sporting event and Ice Cube shouted them o

I've never heard of Reaper -- I'll have to look into it! Switching is a serious pain, especially when music is a free-time hobby and you want to spend that time actually creating and not learning new tools and workflows.

I think this is going to push me fully over the edge to record my non-EDM music on the Mac. I had been teetering between FL Studio & Sonar on Windows and various OSX-based DAWs for this purpose and am ready to settle on something perman

One reality of beer is vomit and alcoholism. Another reality is people, of many socioeconomic demographics, including successful people, enjoying it socially without vomiting or alcoholism. Of course you sell on benefits. And maybe ironical

Such action is extremely impotent if you still keep Gmail. Aside from chat, email is the most private service on the list and failing to give up on that exemplifies how people value convenience over privacy. This type of "activism&quot

Bootstrap provides a slim set of tools for constructing a website. The power comes in it's components, mobile-readiness, and extensibility. Going from default Bootstrap to either of these two sites would still take a lot of design work

This certainly wasn't their strategy. IIRC, SEOMoz started out as SEO consultants and evolved into a software product supporting SEO / inbound marketing.

I think it has to do with the fact that Moz and Doz are in the same industry. If I run Poz.com and I sell dog products (I realize the real Poz.com doesn't), I probably won't get a letter.

One thing I hate about buying shows on iTunes/Vudu/etc. is that I don't want to OWN them, I just want to watch them. The $2.99 price may be fair for ownership, but for a show I probably only want to watch once before it's available on Netfl

Are all these families cable subscribers? And the number essentially means 19 of 20 "cable families" have zero ESPN viewing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see that being a realistic number the methodology that created the 95% statistic wasn'

"Last week, ESPN averaged 1.36 million viewers a day, which is 9.52 million for the week, or about 40.8 million for the month." No, this is wrong. The linked article where this stat is pulled showed an average of 1.36MM viewers during prime

I'd imagine before someone reports a vulnerability, they're likely to research the company's history in dealing with reports. You don't want to openly reduce the incentives you give to people to report exploits instead of selling them. So P
