They needn't have sued. If their implementation was as good as padmapper or better, then padmapper would've lost their audience anyway. We could argue whether it is good or bad for platforms to copy a feature and push services like padmapp

Who is right or wrong (she or the firm), it is hard for outsiders to decide without knowing the facts. But what is very very sad is the fact that much of the "civilized" society accepts that: 1. Employers can treat their employees like cra

I feel stupid for asking this but - what is the big deal with having my name on a cokebottle? The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me (well, that is probably why I don't work in marketing, which is a good thing).

Totally agree. Shawshank is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Was the GP sarcastic or something, for using IMDB?

I don't know what happened between these two huge companies. But it is actually good that their relationship (with respect to maps) ended. Apple's maps suck today, and will probably suck for a year or two - but I'm sure they'll continue

There are other factors than money. For example, I was a mad cricket fan as a child - spent endless hours watching, analyzing, playing etc. until a couple of my heroes were caught throwing away matches, for money. What I couldn't understand

that they actually get sympathy for, instead of being told to 'suck it up' and 'be a man' when they attempt to find help. This makes sense. I suppose women ask for help more, and sooner than men (and probably get it too). Does anyone kn

That wikipedia link is interesting - almost in every single country, male suicides are much higher than female suicides, in some cases 4 to 5 times more.

I mean, we wouldn't see as much rash driving, there will be less accidents etc. which would increase the life of a car, which means lesser cars sold, and lesser profits for the auto industry

If software drove all cars, driving cars would become much more efficient 1. cars will last longer, which would make car manufacturers unhappy 2. cars will become more fuel efficient, which would make fuel industry unhappy 3. insurance rate

Not sure. I understand how stock market works and I also understand we need stock markets for huge projects that require billions of dollars in investments. But other than that, it is just one sucker trying to find the next sucker, offload

It feels both right and wrong - say I sold a inferior product to someone at a bloated price. As a seller, I made heavy profit and my business is a success. But I knowingly inflated the price and screwed the buyer (of course, it is buyer

I bought it too the day it was released. Returned it the very next day - it was horrible. May be they'll do a better job this time. They are surely aware of newer/better competition.

Thank you for answering. getting the majority of your calories from nutrition-less sugar is loony What did you mean by nutrition-less sugar? Vegetable/leafy juices (celery, spinach etc) have lots of nutrition, correct? (much more than ju

1. The comment above says "upto 20%" - that seems a bit high, no? Is it not possible to make better estimate of calories? 2. Any thoughts/experience with raw foods? (also juicing, water fasting etc? someone documented their water fast, I c

I guess this is true for many activities, not all. If my to do list app has bugs, the worst that could happen is some users will get annoyed and leave. If my medical equipment software has bugs, people might seriously get injured or even

It is amazing that the porn industry (for tech stuff) and drug cartels continuously push the boundaries - many times more than the "normal" businesses out there.

You'll have to send an email to privacy@quora.com to delete your account. I did, and they deleted my account. I also told them politely that broadcasting what every user reads to the entire world is very creepy. It is a shame, as the qual

This is disgusting, but everything is fair in love, war and business :( I don't think any domain registrar will willingly not do it. There should be some kind of law, that makes this practice illegal - both the registrar doing it thems

There are much more sympathetic stories about people's lives being ruined by drug laws. May be. But those stories don't make this story "light". He still had his life destroyed, for what? Some lame laws, and some inefficiency in the sys

One thing I can't understand with this "real name" stuff - why can't sites like quora charge a one time fee, like Metafilter? When people pay real money, you know who they are, they are less likely to troll, no? This has been successful wi
