Yeah, but it's also email. You could delete every email you've ever created and everyone who's ever saved their copy still has their copy. Even if you were trying to be all sneaky about your email by having your own service set up somewhere

Nitpick: This is like saying handlebars on a bicycle are obsolete because you only have to install them once. Phone numbers are abstracted, but they are definitely not obsolete.

Niche interest and a reason to socially interact with strangers. It gets creepy when my wife checks into Foursquare and sees that the 'Mayor' and 8 other people are there, too. Who cares? She certainly doesn't. She just wants points or some

If you happen to get a trade in, a quick dump might net you quite a bit. There's going to be a frenzy on this IPO. The ZNGA and GRPN comparisons probably aren't going to be reflective of what will actually happen. Facebook is largely viewed

How much are we talking here? Many states have to be above $5 to 7.5 thousand to get lawyers involved out of small claims court. Also, many lawyers will do brief consultations on your case without charging you. For future reference, don't b

Sub-nitpick: Depends on how you're handling the blade. A dull blade on a round onion is not safer than a sharp blade on that onion. Running your hand across a dull blade is safer than running your hand against a sharp blade. Javascript in a

This. I think instead of spending your time online being a blowhard on twitter or your blog or wherever, you should be making things. Github, twitter, a blog, whatever should just be artifacts created as a by-product of making things. The i

SOPA/PIPA shouldn't be the only reason, as noted in a throwaway line by the OP. Here's why I haven't been to a movie in well over a year: ...Four adaptations of comic books. One prequel to an adaptation of a comic book. One sequel to a sequ

Funny. I always run into issues of glare under florescent lighting with the iPad and it drives me nuts. And no matter how long I use the Kindle, I can't stop noticing the distracting flash between pages. On the flipside, searching and highl

What's stopping Google is reasonable principals. They shouldn't censor the Internet, because that's stupid and against everything the blackout stood for. Where they can fight is in competing with Hollywood dollar for dollar by lobbying and

Right, but that's politics since before Ike's farewell speech and the whole reasoning behind the Federal Elections Committee. Things are not so black and white. A donation can be as much freedom of speech as can be bribery. What the FEC and

While this is funny, bribery has a very specific meaning, and every politician learned it very well during the whole Jack Abramhoff scandal. What the MPAA, and Chris Dodd, are suggesting here is that they're less willing to make campaign co

Some of his items are ideal, but misguided. For example, number 2, "it only takes one Senator to filibuster" is very inaccurate. It takes 41 Senators to filibuster, as a vote for cloture takes a 60-vote majority on the floor. And most bills

I'm pretty sure most members of Congress blacked out their sites today whether they meant to or not. My friends working in the Senate tell me that today's been a pretty long day for them.

Yep. Go-only and an MLB.tv without local blackouts and I'd be completely happy. Nearly everything else is extra baggage I don't want. I just don't watch enough TV outside of those things to justify the monthly cost.

This is how we do it. Most employees work in the office, but we're fine with people who choose to work remotely, either in part or in full. But sometimes we expect staff to come into the office. Speaking as a manager, building a team of onl

Kids these days? Or is it that the kids couldn't get through the movie because it was actually boring to them? Isn't it possible that movie-makers are just out of touch with the demo? Honest question here. I've left boring movies before, to
