I couldn't care less what unsubscribes are costing retailers. Obviously it's not enough. The better question is what are subscribes costing consumers ? How much of our time is wasted sifting through spam marketing emails?

In that case very true, that caused a mad rush. Would've been much better to take pre-orders.

I agree with most of that, except the lack of a release date. The November 13th date was posted and well known in advance.

What makes you think he was fired? He may not see Ballmer retiring anytime soon and decided to move on to something bigger and better.

I've heard it repeated that the Nexus 4 can be used with T-Mobile prepaid, but can it be used with Virgin Mobile USA? VM looks to be $35/month rather than the $50/month that T-Mobile costs.

That screen in the center console is huge. Was it on and if so how was it to use? Looks pretty useful for mapping.

The compilation itself is great, but I think we (in the tech community) suffer too much from tunnel vision and this headline seems to be an example of that. These may be the world's best tech entrepreneurs, but there are much more success

You already have it. Use the following Chrome extensions: NoScript, AdBlock, Ghostery and Do Not Track Plus. There's no sense in relying in any of the large companies to voluntarily give up ad revenue, you need to take matters in to your ow

Because if they already have revenue, they have numbers around who and how many people are willing to pay -- there's at least something to go on and they get valued like any other company . Investors start with that and calculate forward h

At $10 the company will have a market cap of about $20 billion, which is pretty low for a company with a billion monthly active users I think you're making the mistake of backing into the valuation based on an arbitrary statistic they tel

HA! Yeah right. Look at the outrage that is coming just from Uber offering a service that is basically a comfortable taxi you can hail from your phone. Now imagine what the reaction is going to be when you tell them you want to eliminate th

Those Australia plans all have stiff data caps. Will that be the same in the US as well? Hopefully we can still get the unlimited plan for $35/month.

New processor, new internals, new OS, new camera are all just expected upgrades at this point. Where's the innovation? That's what I'm expecting.

Really? Why do you suppose? In 50-100 years, I can easily see us having a permanent presence on another planet, fully automated vehicles and a Terminator like military comprised completely of robots. That world (if true), technologically, w

Not to mention it looks like some parts are electronic, so I wonder how much it weighs.

I'm guessing they probably got there before everything on top was built, but how do they get down there now for repairs and such?

I know it's a few days after the "Who's Hiring" thread, but for those of you interested in being a part of this stuff first-hand, we're hiring at Blue Origin: http://www.blueorigin.com/careers/careers.html It's truly an amazing thing to b

That deal included some of the most foolish business decisions made in a long time and interestingly enough both sides made the entirely wrong decision. Microsoft was stupid for bidding, Yahoo was stupid for rejecting.
