Outlook might not need to charge thanks to Windows /Office /Enterprise profits from Microsoft. But then, it's not like Google is starving for cash, they just more and next year wil…

Maybe or maybe not. 27 or so dead kids out of the blue might be HN worthy.

"Why? The cost for running the fiber has already been paid." Not every mile is owned by one company, the internet is a series of tubes

"If it keeps safe, what do I care!" I feel bad for you. Really do. I know it's a not a constructive comment but with him it seems like a lost cause.

For what % of people? We should assume that bigger pipes cost more money, at least they do now, so why should Jack and Jill pay for 1Gig/s when a 5-10-20 mbps is more they need? Ca…

"The only real problem I see with the present state of the Web is that Facebook wants to own all your data" "I don't agree that the monetization of the Web has degraded the value" …

In 5-10 years maybe. Now virtually all sites are slower than a ~ 10-50 mbs connection so having all that extra bandwidth doesn't help you at all. That's the reality.

Yes I read it. Apparently the only reason they do the useless and manipulated web poll is for clicks and hits.

Oh now, it's like with Bernie Maddof. Many knew or suspected he was crook but thought he was cheating from others so they closed one eye and both ears or whatever, until they got s…

Abraham Lincoln was misquoted, or least he said so in his Geocities page. Anyway, how stupid is Time to fall for this, unless they are doing it for the traffic and clicks?

How much money Apple or Google spent is not really an issue Both are loaded, especially Apple. And unless the egg in the face translated to lost sales, it will go away. Never under…

No wonder he is the CEO and you aren't. Think LOOOOONG term, in a few years Apple will catch Google for the most part (hello AAPL bank accounts and increase of usage!) and Apple wi…

This is dumb. I thought he was going to show a chart that showed that humans are responsible for it, not that most scientists agree. A few centuries ago they just asked the Pope, s…

I am sorry she got deported but between the fonts, short sentences and colors I already have a headache...at maybe 20% of the article. sorry for being off topic but it annoyed the …

A possible solution would be anonymize the browser fingerprint, at least in private mode, ie lie about the details of the system. Plus one for this. I wonder if a plugin alone coul…

And then what? He /she will always be a Stanford MBA and as much as some VCs hate them, blue chips companies hire them on the spot. The problem is with second and third tier MBA an…

Anyway, they were called out before being sued but did nothing about it. I am cynic because many big corps still have this attitude. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18866018…

This is civil, but if they broke the law (overcharging the Government on purpose) it can go criminal. If they want to pursue it of course.

“My belief is that we are choosing not to fix this issue because it is worth so much money to FedEx,” They will pay some money to make the lawyers rich, no one goes to jail and Fed…

I was reading that Chrome wouldn't work either because of Gmail was down. Then we have algorithmic account deletions for "spam" or violating whatever rule. That's more than enough …

This is why I'm staying away from the "cloud" for as long as I can. I don't like this tight integration that much, you'll be frozen out of everything if one feature goes down. And …

I am too lazy too look but I remember reading a story where an $80 or so solar panel system (with some sort of battery, no doubt) from China enabled villagers in Africa to turn a l…

"most porn websites today are usability hell" How do you know :)? They are scripts for almost every successful model out there but the problem is reaching mass user adoption. For u…

Yeah but it could recharge a small battery and that can recharge a puny phone.
