The problem with these articles is that they never go into exactly what parts of the message and metadata is actually encrypted. It can't all be encrypted (or at least I'm not awar…

Well, given how many people Zynga is buying vs. the mass exodus that seems to be happening in S.F. from them, I'd be interested in seeing their recruitment numbers.

I understand your point completely, and I agree with you. It still doesn't change the fact that when you give up your Facebook account information, you are not just surrendering up…

Facebook played the Friend card in their press release, and did it really well. If you are giving up your Facebook password, you're not just giving up your information, you're also…

Agreed. At this point he needs to start looking at SOA designs and figuring out if he can break this application out into services that can be individually tuned and managed.

I took a professional ethics class in college, and the professor was a personal friend of Roger. The whole class was about Challenger, and the incredible failure of judgement aroun…

I find it a little annoying when anyone promises something like this in the headline, and then provides no direct action to take on it. I was basically ready to open my wallet and …

I'm not in love with the design, or how big and out of place it feels just appearing in the top left corner, but it's a great start and I hope they keep pushing it forward. I hope …

I co-founded my first company @ 30. It was pretty scary, but me and my co-founder kept working on our day jobs until we felt like we had the momentum to go raise some money. As soo…

There are plenty of examples to counter your argument in the startup community. FriendFeed is an easy one. It was built while each of its founders had day jobs until they had a via…

This is really awesome advice. Thanks. Living in the Bay Area sometimes means you're in an echo chamber. I hope that as people travel for the holidays they will take your advice an…

Just added it to the posting. Thanks for pointing this out, but beyond the release itself, I feel like it's hard to make someone who's generally apathetic about news or politics un…

This IMO, far and above anything else, was the most important phrase in Anons release against SOPA. I'm asking a serious question here: How do we completely associate the term "wea…

When I first heard this, all I could think about was "Amber Alert".

This is a great point that is often overlooked in the startup work environment. In 8 years of working at Startups I have only ever been in one place where anyone actually worked a …

I'm a little surprised I haven't seen this on TechCrunch yet.

Good advice, although from my experience (in San Francisco), getting to know the staff is the easiest way to ensure a free -> cheap working environment. Local places with a lot of …

That is definitely an interesting quirk. The first one seemed pretty decent of them. It would have at least given me a warm feeling about not getting an offer based on concern for …

Ah. I don't think it was a case of me being too "old" as maybe me being "too uptight" or something along those lines (although I'm still pretty young I guess I've recently slid out…

This is a pretty weird one, as I've been programming for a while and haven't heard it yet. I have been interviewing w/ a local Bay Area startup that I was introduced to via a frien…
