I think this is pretty much expected from Scoble after he was shunned on Quora by bunch of users who didn't like his constant name dropping and pictures in his answers. To be honest I also found his answers quite lacking. Related discussion

With the given strength of 500 or 600 software engineers they have, I don't see how it is possible for them to diverge into every other vertical. The most important thing for their valuation is the leverage they have (lots and lots of data

This is not that evil given the fact that she called ATT customers horrible things a.k.a "Crazies", but this is rather personal post. These type of personal posts/opinions are appearing more and more in TC, instead of publishing them on TC

Don't you think it will improve vertical space if tabs goes to side, also these days all the laptops have widescreen - this will be quite useful there. As for the default state of the browser, the tab bar can be made to appear only when sec

A simple solution is to uninstall all of those after your install. There is simply no need to make a spinoff simply for that purpose. Even better way is try installing Arch Linux, you only get what you install.

I am not sure but I think they can't show ads in HTML5 version of the player - thats why they have it as opt-in, I might be wrong. But what the hell Adobe.. for every new device that flash runs, they need 2-3 years to optimize it. Flash nee
