It was not meant to be harsh, simply a statement of fact. I certainly don't share the "Life is [harsh]. Adapt." mentality. I do believe in judging opinions based on how well they are substantiated. If you post an argument that is backed

I for one don't think that a self serving apology is in line with his posting history. A unsubstantiated comment, on the other hand, is in line with yours.

Some might criticize you for not apologizing immediately; I for one think that a longer apology which shows reflection is far more valuable than a quick one.

It's a very well written piece; I'm always happy to see shoddy journalism debunked.

This is clearly more convenient, especially for the average user. Of course, everyone should already be playing their games in a window via Wine. :-p

I think that's a rather unfortunate simplification. I'd say that there is quite a bit to be gained from studying leadership in these settings. If the Harvard Business review is covering it, I'd say it is a safe bet that there is some good

This is one of those critical moments that may well define how people think about this company in the future. As mentioned before, the CEO needs to do better, right away. Just to clarify, I am referring to the response, not to the actual e

The article notes that German Intelligence actually edited their own Wikipedia article (from the suspect IP) to remove speculation that it belonged to them. "An examination of Wikipedia edits from the IP ranges reveals that along with a lot

I'd say the 88% of profits coming from Google is in line with how much Google owns of the search market. It's not a particularly stunning number; if the search market was more distributed, Mozilla's revenue would be more distributed.

I actually own the tx1 version of this laptop. If the battery life is anything like the first version (2 hours tops), we'll see a continuation of what's happening to the iPhone in terms of battery life. Not that that will stop anyone from

Interesting app; it looks like it has a lot of potential. On an unrelated note, something about Arrigton's journalism just bothers me. It's like every title has to involve some tired old cliché or unsubstantiated, conflicting statements.

Awesome! Good to hear :-). I figured it was probably on the TODO list; adding a "PayPal coming soon!" to the FAQ might make people happy.

Sorry if I am off base on this one, but not being able to cash out via PayPal would make me just want to use TipJoy instead. Even if I do ultimately donate my money to charity, I'd still like to have the option. The FAQ indicates that you

Resizing the excerpts for each article would vastly improve the readability of this site. Right now they are bigger than the title of the article itself.

Fair enough, and perhaps I am being a bit too harsh. :-) I would point out that I haven't wished anything but the best for this guy, and have congratulated him several times in my comments. I also like seeing a Second City showing in down

No worries, you don't come off as condescending. There is no doubt that this man has been successful and he seems to have changed the course of his life for the better. I am happy for him. However, consider the long term impact of cases l

Is it just me, or every time I see a story like this in the mainstream media, I think of O'Reilly's comments at the Web 2.0 Summit about getting serious. I mean, it's great for iPhone and Facebook application developers. Hats off to them

I guess I am a little skeptical about the market. First, I have to believe it is rare that an individual would need a super computer. Besides, any individual that actually needs one is probably going to build his/her own. Businesses

I found this Time magazine cover from 2002 particularly interesting: http://bit.ly/17CJf Apple and Jobs have changed a lot since then :-p. For an even more extreme change, see: http://bit.ly/13h9T

I think it is important to differentiate between knowing how to program and having a fundamental understanding about how technology works. Knowing how to program is hardly a necessity; if we have legislators, judges, and law enforcement wh
