Clearly the app can't/shouldn't be taken away. But this shit is messed up.

So essentially this is a niche to win strategy? Become the dominant player in your microcosm then continue to expand once dominance is achieved. I won't argue with this, it's not a…

This is definitely a step in the right direction, but I am not sure the SEC can let go of so much control without significant regulation of some sort, specifically in reporting. It…

Perhaps they purposely did not launch a SXSW to redirect the limelight from all the great apps that did to themselves, a mere week afterward. If this blogging, tweeting, posting fr…

I am excited to give this a try. As someone who did not study CS or MIS at school (in fact far from it, accounting & finance) I am open to any resource to assist code education onl…

I'm inclined to say the TouchWiz may not be all that bad, in fact some of the tweaks they made and features added could be quite welcome, but I cannot say I am a fan of Samsung get…

My biggest complaint with the article was just that. I cannot think of a legitimate reason to do this.

Sure it's about simplicity at times, but how convenient would it be to read an article or browse the internet on half your television screen while a basketball game you want to pas…

I suggest using morning digests like Politico's Playbook by Mike Allen. I subscribe to that, Morning Money (Politico), Breaking News (Politico), and Financial Times updates (for th…

A step in the right direction toward information asymmetry between startups and investors. It is very difficult to come from outside the valley or vc community and know who is high…

This is a good article. Allowing people to live where they want can definitely increase productivity with teams versus close proximity. The collaborative tools available today make…

I'm beginning to loose faith in the Nobel selection committee. If the goal was to award/recognize the positive impact the internet has had on speech, communication, and reporting s…

That is a very good point. The article gives no detailed term information other than the big looking number, $100 million. A sum that could come in any number of terms with most be…
