    Great idea of you want to be hated by the entire community that you are trying to reach. Pose as a lone programmer, take handouts from the community via PayPal, be exposed as compa…

    Well this is thoroughly embarrassing for old Gary. I'm gonna assume he got some 'Agency help' to 'back hack'. . oh dear. .

    Bank of America is a symbol of everything that is wrong with corporate America. The world would be so much of a better place if they could just have disappeared in the financial cr…

    This is very much the sad part. Groupon (with a possible IPO valuation of $25 BILLION+) does not even have to 'fail' to drag the entire IPO/.com/Tech market with them. They just ha…
