> Restaurants are investing heavily in QR codes. Investing heavily in them? What does that even mean? QR codes are free. I haven't seen one relating to restaurants menu items, in my life.

Because creating an ad isn't a transaction, for one. It costs nothing to create an ad. I get billed at the end of the month based on clicks or views, and Apple has nothing to do with that. The ads might not even show on iOS.

I'm staring at my brand new Keurig coffee maker that has the website URL right on the top of the box in prominent lettering. Almost everything you buy has a URL on it or in it. Booklets, warranty cards, QR codes, and on and on. So, rea

I really question what the real purpose of this "boycott" was during a pandemic. I've worked in advertising for 12+ years. I can easily imagine a company (say, Pepsi), deciding to pause a campaign they were planning to do bec

He's not showing what he can do though. Making changes take a week when he finished them in a day is self-sabotage.

I don't think Uber did anything wrong by asking Otto to buy the company that they wanted to buy. I would do the same. But Levandowski screwed over his friend by getting him a lower price than he would have gotten. This isn't CVS a

Google paid him $175 million in bonuses in less than a year. And then he quit, stole all the source code, accessed 30+ Google Docs after he left, and convinced 16 co-workers to leave Google too. That's just asking to be sued. In fact,

Reminds me of people who were arrested and convicted of "resisting arrest" and no other charges. That should not be a thing. If you're being arrested and the charges are never laid, or are later dropped, resisting arrest shou

Twitter is not even trading at the stock price it was 2 years ago. It's not a FAANG. It's not a growth stock. It just barely escaped being a Yahoo.

"In the UK there are stronger hate speech laws." The UK is an odd place, legally. Stronger laws against free speech yet looser laws around freedom of the press to do normally illegal things. It's a surveillance state with cam

What's the word for that? Astroturfing? When a company needs to generate fake content pretending to be real questions from real users. Would you spend an hour writing a really thorough answer to a question if the person who asked the q

People forget that it was the release of the iPhone that caused AT&T and others to offer "unlimited internet". $60 for unlimited internet in 2007. That was a revolution. Before that, yes, you could run up a massive phone bill.

I think Apple is about to enter a multi-year anti-trust ordeal as Microsoft and other companies have before. Ironic that they used to be the small guy fighting against IBM, and now they're the big guy pushing their "largest compan

The name Jitsi is a disadvantage. I'm not being facetious. If you compare the name Zoom to Jitsi, people will choose Zoom 9 out of 10 times. You won't get many people to even try Jitsi. Zoom is quickly becoming a verb similar to w

I see a lot of traders blaming the "retail investor" for the general rise in stock prices, but retail investors are not even 3% of the market. The HFT and over-leveraged hedge funds are doing something for sure. And they'll b

Agreed. "Piracy isn't theft" is such a cliche in these arguments. The people downloading the books, music, movies, etc are getting something that they want, that normally costs money, for free. Come up with a new word if it i
