I was sympathetic and supportive when Kivin Varghese first released the legal documents, but this is starting to look like a grudge between a fired employee and a public company. I am withholding my support, and continuing to use my Prime a

Twitter has replaced RSS for me. For me, the value of Twitter is learning new things, similar to the value I place on HN. I am pretty good at filtering out the noise because I usually look for links in posts. I rarely read a series of twee

I agree! I also appreciate the effort over the past few days to dig into this after it was originally reported. It is fascinating to watch the analysis unfold.

I made the mistake of downloading over 20GB of music and files on my new iPhone 6. The phone has been almost useless since hitting that limit. So much for "Unlimited Data". But, I am waiting for a check for over $1300 as part o

You could replace every instance of Epic with Siebel and find hundreds of similar quotes when Salesforce prepared to take out the leader in enterprise CRM. As a consumer, the EHR space seems ripe for revolution. 5 years from now, they may

I think this would be a tough sell in enterprise environments because the analysis of log data takes time and analysts are likely to say they have enough data from their own logs. They would also get stuck on the differences between the ho

You obviously do not work for a company like JP. Fear of jail is not the only motivator to address the gaps that led to this breach. There are likely hundreds of people there who are intensely motivated and now assigned to address this,

Yes, I buy a seat knowing that when I sit in the seat my knees will be up against the seat in front of me. The seat in front of me has nowhere to recline. My knees have become used to the pressure over the course of hundreds of flights.

The same principles were true and applicable in a much larger near-implosion that I experienced from 2008-2012 working for a "too big to fail" financial company. Strong, out-front leadership, a strong team led the way. It took

454 hours of flight time seems low for a military plane built in the 80's. That is not very many flights from the Soviet Union to off the U.S. coastline.

Yes, but in a way they are likely damaging the company they own a portion of. They may end up losing the talent that won the award. That company doesn't benefit much as a result, and Salesforce even less.

In addition, Turian is a showman. His finalist presentation was more flamboyant than Benioff's keynote. I felt bad for the guys who presented after Upshot (they had skipped class at UCLA and Purdue to build a cool job candidate app)

As I watched Upshot's demo at Dreamforce it seemed hard to imagine that it was something built in 3 days. The judges pointed out that the guys who presented 3rd and 5th (Upshot was 4th) had been there night and day, not sleeping. Tur
