I have confirmed with a friend who works at Groupon as an editor that this is legitimate, also that it getting out isn't really a big deal. This is a cute look into a fun company.

Another difference: HP doesn't directly work with manufacturers on a lot of their hardware, instead opting to rebadge/rebrand products that also exist under other companies' names. Many low-end HP printers were made by Samsung.

If the headline of an article can be responded to with a simple "yes" or "no," there's likely a lack of content. In this case, it's 'no.' There's a reference to a previous boycott over Amazon that happened a few years ago around Amazon not

I'd happily join you, but if I weren't already convinced the format will go nowhere, I'd assume it this whole campaign was a publicity stunt on the part of the WWF.

It should be noted that this is still a relatively early beta, and not fully the "Reeder for Mac" that people may be expecting.

Nice cache of domains! No use for any of them here, but there's good potential for many.

Definitely noted. Also, still prohibitive for international users due to high shipping cost.

My first guess would be respect for the company. Secondarily, plenty of results in google reveal that the policy (if somewhat unofficially) is that you can say you work at Apple on your blog, etc, but not really blog /about/ Working At Appl

Apart from not meaning much, it means they find ways to edge themselves into your your businesses, if you pay them some money, build up your reliance on their products, and are then forced to keep using the products or start your process fr

I have zero affiliation with the group, apart from being a casual user but http://wasitup.com/ has come in handy for me quite often. Even for free, it'll do a check 20 times an hour.

Short answer: No, but many search engines are increasingly aware of the microformat data you may wish to supply. ( http://www.google.com/help/features.html of some examples) This info shows up when you search for things like movies and Goo

Perhaps, but pageviews (or 'hits' before marketers had to find a new name for it) have long been known as "How Idiots Track Stats." Especially these days where dynamic content is king over individual page loads and selling ads on a CPM basi

Are one-line 'shock' titles ending in a question mark actual journalism? I'm guessing the answer is the same for both. The article does much to drum up fear and then fizzles itself out near the end with a "The outcome might actually not be

Despite the death of "Web 2.0" as a term, the trend for large Helvetica continues unabated! There are some great services in the list, though. Their work is the stuff that's more impressive than their design.

Even with the 11-inch MacBook Air being okay'd, the 13 inch won't qualify for some unknown reason. With it being revealed this week that they'll be touching our genitals[1], I hardly figure this to be a good trade. 1: http://www.theatlanti

In under two years, no less! It shows what dedication, attention to the big details, and a clear _goal_ can get you. "So long hyphen site."

It's a cute idea, but feels a whole lot like the things coming out of the MIT media lab in the late 1990s.

It has to be difficult, but everything in life is a choice about your division of dedication, time, and attention. Cyril Connolly said “There is no more sombre enemy of good art than the pram in the hall.”

Amen. Having a 'universal' feed URL across CMSes, domains, and years is one of FeedBurner's best features.

This isn't an advertisement, but anyone interested in doing this sort of thing for a living or benefiting from it should definitely attend the Web Content conference (2011: http://webcontent2011.com , 2010: http://webcontent2010.com ). I

Johnny is right in pointing out that this is simply called advertising, and is part of contracting. He's also entirely correct in pointing out that in the world of software all you really need to do is produce something. I think the best wa

Ditto'd regarding Linode, with some notes on why we'd hesitate: While we as an enterprise love moving things to Linode, or just generally "out," I don't know if many in your planned market would be okay with someone else setting up their sy

It's not too likely. It was a feature of the previous Airs, so I'm guessing they removed it for some reason going forward (features removed rarely return).
