A combination of a collectivist culture and crazy expensive real estate leads to more people living in smaller homes and in closer proximity to each others bowel movements. The Japanese diet also probably plays a role......

I don't know but I'd be willing to settle with Round Table Pizza and AT&T Wireless for $100 per text and a promise that they will stop SMS spamming me.

There are companies setup that will buy things for you on taobao and ship them to you overseas. They help with customs etc and have sites in English. Google 'taobao english' and/or 'taobao agent'

Why would people be crying that knockoffs of US sites have not rolled out to the US? Perhaps I missed your sarcasm...?

What does a dispute between two corporations have to do with their reported sales figures? Racist much? Just because they are a Chinese company doesn't mean they should not be trusted.

"1hr after the promotion opened, the first package was received." I think that is the most interesting part. It's pretty incredibile how efficient taobao is in such an inefficient country.

They own their own version of PayPal which lots of people use, which easily links up with all of the major Chinese banks + debit cards. They also do a lot of pre-paid business where people go into the post office and put money on their acco

Pretty difficult to be the CEO of a tech company without founding it.

you appear to be confusing him with a person thinking rationally.

This is the first one, to my knowledge, that offers styling. You can drag and drop elements easily with divshot and jetstrap but if you want to change the colors and fonts etc, you can't. I'm stoked to try this out!

Santorum has said it is his hope this election cycle would push his websites above the frothy mix in search engine rankings. This would seem to be aiding that.

Too bad the single biggest piece of data here is going to be ignored. If they started competing with Silicon Valley for talent and put thousands of these guys to work in a building somewhere to fix this country, they'd quickly become the 'n

I saw Kevin Systrom speak at Pando Monthly and he was asked this question in the QA, how they were doing to deal with developers and whether they'd be like Twitter (to which everybody laughed, but the question asker didn't expand). Systrom

The camera is not what bugs these people, it is him. If it were a cute little kid or a super model - or just somebody with a much better attitude - there would have been a much different response.

Are you sure you clicked both of them? The first had a really harsh and strong border and looked almost 3D, but in a cheap and bad way. The second is much more subdued and 2D. Both of them would look very dated today but this was in the ear

I'm not sure why you keep saying 'looks like Twitter'. Bootstrap was originally created by Twitter, it wasn't created to make every site look like Twitter - nor does it do that. As for your other comments, you seem to have a far greater kno

"Yet I see no purpose or value to it at all" Did you visit that link? If you don't see the "purpose or value" in having all of that functionality instantly just by adding CSS classes, I don't know what to tell you. Another huge perk is the

carousel.html (one of the new examples) is really sexy. i think they learned lots of people are lazy and just leave their sites as pretty much stock bootstrap for a long time - so might as well make stock bootstrap look amazing. well done!

Forstall was the executive most like Steve Jobs within the company, so it will be interesting to see what he does next. He got forced out, just like Steve did. Now will he start a new company and get acquired and become the CEO down the roa

Pretty standard (and smart) timing of the announcement. They release it while the media is focused on Sandy and the election so the minimum amount of scrutiny will be placed on Apple. One of the biggest questions about Tim Cook was whether

Thanks for confirming this. It seemed obvious that his back-to-back failures with Siri + Maps and the fact that lots of people inside Apple hated him were the reason for this, but it was impossible to know for certain without somebody insid

The truly sad part of this is most Chinese people wouldn't really mind the site being blocked because of this, nor even be all that surprised to learn what the article said. They don't get offended and angered by their government hiding thi
