Rent could. If you try to create a start up in say SF or NYC you are going to be wasting a lot of money on living expenses when it could have gone back into the product itself.

Could the companies that are under threat of legal action work together and risk the threat all at once? What I am saying is that if one company such as Google was to breach their …

The reason they offer it for free is pretty simple to me. They have an app store which is making them more money than the Operating System itself. The more people who have access t…

I recently tried to do this. Facebook actually will recognize if a name sounds "too fake" and reject it, saying that you can only use a real name. https://www.facebook.com/help/112…

It would be nice to see it but I have a full page advertisement in my way of it. /snark

Totally, but in a comparison of vulnerabilities it is much different to compare flaws in apps versus the default software included in the system. The former is a vulnerability to a…

That's not exactly a fair comparison, Firefox is a third party app whereas this lock screen vulnerability is part of iOS itself.

Really none of the major OS's are hard to learn at all. They might approach things differently but let's be honest, operating a phone is something an 8 year old can do (and sometim…

Why focus on climate change? Al Jazeera should be concerned about changing the way news networks discuss topics entirely, not just this isolated story. There is too much forced dra…

It seems like that person I have been waiting for to create that mapping is me!

This is what is preventing me from learning Vim. I play games every day using WASD movement and if I have to switch to hjkl my brain goes haywire. I have been waiting for someone t…

He said that because most people are not technically literate or have enough time to understand exactly what Snowden did. Considering the way he is portrayed in mass media I would …

A coworker and I had this idea and it was something I threw together in a few hours. I am looking for feedback as to whether anyone else may find it useful. The idea is that when t…

Being loyal is a two way street to me. If you are going to support a product over an extended period of time then I believe there should be some sort of incentive to continue buyin…

Blogspot is one of them.

Can the world afford to attack the US? I figure there is too much money flowing through the country which would prevent that from happening as they would be alienating US corporati…

Software in smart TVs need drastic changes. I won't go over the problems with the ui right now as I feel they are all pretty obvious, but what I think needs to get pushed is the co…

AFAIK, it's still in about:config. If you are smart enough to go into the options to turn off Javascript in the first place, then it won't be too much effort to go into about:confi…

Also, radio stations only play your song for a couple seasons, an entire year if you are lucky and maybe more if you are one of the most successful bands. Pandora and similar servi…

My point was more along the lines of it is wasting time. If you do something bad for the right reason and then later find out it is bad then at least you know that solution was the…

It's time for another good idea, bad idea.

Being right about the problems is the first step. I would argue providing a bad solution for a problem you know exists is better than providing a good solution for a problem that d…

It's homeopathic medicine in comparison.

I am not exactly pro-gun or anti-gun. America is obviously founded to protect freedom of the individual and I believe everyone has the right to at least go to a local gun range and…
