“To be salutatorian at Princeton means you're likely to be a writer of damn fine English.” He was raised in NYC apparently. However, based on what I read (NY Mag?) the inventor was…

Its reckless, up-for-anything approach seems to be working. Its stock price is now $909.18, up 50% over the last 52 weeks, and the company’s market cap is $301 billion. Its year-ov…

Don't you think Microsoft changed the world? Don't you think Apple changed the world? Don't you think Facebook changed the world? Don't you think Skype changed the world? Don't you…

So what? People have biases, I never claimed to be unbiased and we're just sharing our opinions. I do not get paid by anyone for what I say. What I said about Google is heretic to …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_tu,_Brute%3F Google claimed a lot of things but generally the theme was "We're nice, ethical...trust us with monopoly power, we'll be considerate..…

Looking at your posts, it appears your posts has more hate than reason when it comes to Google. That's an opinion, but I no longer fall for Google's kool aid...and yes, there's som…

Both Google and Microsoft are loaded so they can afford lawyers. Even if it goes to trial, my guess is that there are no real /seriou$ damages so the downside is very limited. Upsi…

Microsoft has nothing to lose in this, every mention of this story in the press helps them. They are probably hoping for a lawsuit

So, either your post is considered bad, deserving downvotes, or there is a conspiracy. I'd go for the simple explanation. Me too. Considering the flagging of bad-for-Google stories…

"They managed to squish Netscape like a little bug" How many "little bugs" has Google squished with their Search? Granted they didn't get sued by DOJ because they were smarter (Goo…

My bet is on Google employees. I get a good dozen or so downvotes from them when I post something negative about Google. Usually it happens in a short period of time, as if someone…

Google looks after Google and that's it. Exhibit A is search and how much more money Google makes after major updates. People are in denial but some truth is coming out little by l…

I would assume that Google Now-type products work better when they have as much information as possible, and making all chats save by default all the time would be a good way to ge…

Google has Search to promote their stuff, even if it's inferior. Put theirs on top, meaning other reviews are much harder to find (people click on top links). That's how many peopl…

Good point, maybe Apple will let users embed them in web pages and wave any fees for x years. Google and Bing charge after a certain number of free API requests so Apple should off…

It's possible that for now he wants to hear the story only from people with his exact condition and symptoms. Let's face it, he's probably panicking (and for a good reason) so he w…

Money Laundering is a serious risk banks face, you only need to look at HSBC's recent debacles to see why. It's not a risk, it's a business opportunity. At least it was for HSBC ht…

Apparently it says so on their privacy page: http://www.skype.com/en/legal/privacy/ Skype may use automated scanning within Instant Messages and SMS to (a) identify suspected spam …

The 1% argument is a great one. Personally I would never buy a Tesla as my first or second car (range, price and convenience issues) but then they don't need to sell or appeal to e…

I hope not, these are refreshingly easy for humans, compared to the rest. Maybe an Apple engineer can chime in

You are going back how many years? Is the post-Mubarak Egypt any better for the average Egyptian? You can argue that US should mind it's business, but otherwise do not assume that …

Short answer: As bad as US is, you should see the other countries. If a US cope beats you, you most likely hit the lottery, in other countries if they didn't beat you, you hit the …

Google cannot "read" content so in essence it's the size of the brand that matters, unless they suppress it manually via search quality raters. Brands escape major updates, somethi…
