We're not disagreeing on Siri. The problem is there's a difference between it driving some business away and it removing the need for Google entirely, as your article first claimed. And then, once it's established that it will remove some b

I took the overly sensational title as a warning flag and I was right. The article seems to take weak premises and then founds size-able claims on them. For example: "Meanwhile, Apple may obviate the need for Google altogether with Siri

I agree with the spirit of your post but realize that selling patents is one way inventors can realize value. If companies couldn't use them as commodities, their value might be diminished. The trading may pose some downsides, but it's not

Repeating from above: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosi

Browsing roulette -- I like it. Startup idea? (Actually, jokes aside, a randomized split screen browsing service where you have some background on who you browse with sounds kind of interesting. It would be like a two-way human stumble upon

Is this just the Wordpress code on Github or is it a variation of Wordpress that implements some sort of DVCS system? I am thinking the former. I ask because of the title.

Ouch. That's a series of far-fetched statements. For one gem dependencies can be handled through Bundles. If you mean version dependencies, I will give you that. But just because RVM's goal is great doesn't mean it's execution is flawless.
