Well I think it has to do with how difficult it is to find affordable office real estate for businesses that outgrow their space. I can't imagine a company as big as Google or Facebook having their HQ in SF without having to build a giant s

Yep, there's nothing cool about either of these cities. It stinks here. The nightlife is poor, the people are stupid, the pay is low, the food terrible, and there is no culture. The amount of successful startups is overly exaggerated. There

'Since Spotify came about everyone I know has cut back on music downloaded.' Musicians still seem to lose out on this model as they do not make that much money from it.

Not to mention is watching porn while in a relationship that big of a deal?

Great idea but right now, I think far too much real estate on the face of the watch is not a screen. The digital part should be flush with the border instead of effectively having two strokes around the screen. That alone would make me wait

"More men ask. The women just don't ask." I wonder why women do not ask more. Especially with something like dating. It happens but far less regularly than the other way around. I wonder if that leap of faith contributes to men being more c

It has nothing to do with loudness. It has everything to do with having a spine and it being a business. It really is not that hard to negotiate and I am an introvert. Yet a lot of women I know do not even try.

"The definitions of who can be the subject of legal actions and what remedies are imposed must be tightened and narrowed." Glad he pointed out the obvious. (not being sarcastic)

I don't think that the screen size is weird. It's good for people who don't want a size bigger than an iPhone but smaller than an iPad. I could see myself using one for commutes.

They need to work on making this page ( http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/ ) look more appealing. Those images are pretty tiny and the text just dominates. I'm all about reading features too but I like to see the UI.

Yep that's pretty blatant. I could see them re-designing it soon to something that's more uniquely them. That solution was probably just a quick and dirty attempt.

"You learn more about them when you leave than at any other time." How so? (honestly, I'm dense)

Yes, they could've come up with one or two sentences that appealed to the emotion and pushed the reader to a custom url relating to this issue. Or even an exaggerated screenshot of what could happen if the bill passes. Ah well. Rational wri

I sympathize with you. I work on my own 99% of the time and it's a very tough experience. It's the sacrifice one makes for 'the dream' I'm sometimes jealous of the stories about Mark Zuckerberg and Kevin Rose because at least they had a gir

Couldn't have put it better myself. You could even cut it to "you can't understand just how big a gulf there can be between what people see when they look at you, and what you feel inside."

Especially in early startups where one works alone quite a lot of the time. Very different than getting a job at a company.

"Have you known anyone personally who's comitted suicide?" Yes. My cousin did by jumping and my sister attempted by overdose. Though I called an ambulance which saved her life. I won't argue that people shouldn't intervene when they can. 'I

I suppose the question is what can the next social network do that Facebook/G+ doesn't do (or do as well)? Whether it's messaging, posting photos, or reading news posts... Facebook does it well enough that people don't seek an alternative.
