To all the people automatically assuming that this is a result of facebook acquiring instagram, what if this actually improves the user experience? What if instagram always wanted to integrate with facebook because they knew it was a bett

I'm curious how they get away with having basically 100% of their app as web-based. We used native controls for login screen and another screen to play it safe. Are we playing too safe?

That several hundred million people claim is a hoax. It's part of the reason for Vic's departure: instead of actually increasing engagement of Google+, he forced top performing google properties like YouTube to integrate Plus, j

I drink a cola called Blah Cola . It doesn't mean that Blah Cola isn't dead. In a literal sense of the word it isn't; but for practical purposes, Blah Cola is dead compared to Coca Cola and Google+ is dead compared to Face

The irony in this whole thing is that people like the OP are precisely why NDAs should not be signed. When you are a company like foursquare, ideas like swarm arise naturally from product evolution. Sure, you may have had the same idea 4 ye

The present Valleywag is a mere shadow of the original one. My gut says they have extremely strict editorial restrictions from their bosses at Gawker.com.

Here's an example of how YouTube comments suck: if you post a video on your google+ with a comment like "hey guys watch this", that post appears as a comment on that video's page. So now you have a bunch of comments on

There are a lot of reasons to attack TechCrunch, but their Google+ coverage isn't one of them. If you've friends at google, you know almost everything reported by TC rings true. For example, an ex YouTuber friend of mine told me a

How do people that abstract away their database via an ORM feel comfortable about not dealing directly with the data and accidentally dropping a db column via ORM? I know when I am dealing with the database I am a lot more surgical in my ap

How is the brand valuable in a practical sense? On the other hand, it has plenty of negative association as a company that tried and failed to compete with Samsung and Apple.

I'm fascinated by this perspective because for any business, it's the data that is treasured more than anything else. For example, as a bank I can afford to lose all the app code but I cannot afford to lose a record of my customer

I really feel for Jerry Yang. It seems like every Yahoo CEO and Board has been riding the coattails of his Alibaba investment while his name is left for the footnotes.

The CTO can ask you to improve your coding or to stop coding, afterall he was retained to make those calls. But he cannot ask you to leave the company if you are a proper cofounder. The only person who is in any position to make a request l

On the list of reasons to use MongoDB, shouldn't being able to pass over JSON be at the bottom of the list given how trivial it is to pass a mysql row as a json array?

I'll take an inappropriate CEO over an appropriate CEO that is willing to lie to the public just to pacify them and to keep his job.

Absolutely nothing good could come out of him trying to explain his views or his donation. It is good that he hasn't apologized out of pressure. He should only apologize if/when he actually has a change of heart on his position;

What happens when the CC fails? What happens when the CC fails and the customer is non-responsive? Ultimately Colin has to make a call of whether he deletes the files or not after some point of non-communication from the customer.

I'm much more likely to ask questions on IM than face to face. The latter not only interrupts the person I am asking the question, but also interrupts my own flow. May be just me.
