Did I miss the part where they said HTML5 was better? I took it to be more of a slam of the Android fanboys who insist that Android is better than iOS because look! we have Flash a…

Am I the only person in the world who intentionally avoids both those apps like the plague? Facebook chat doesn't work in Camino. All hail Camino.

Classic, and the main reason we tell our daughter that Facebook won't be AROUND when she's 13. All I see are the acai ads (no, I never click on them) and the occasional Pages ad. I…

free invites? I'm all over that. How many?

Hopefully nowhere near any kind of shortlist for any position that would drive tech in this country.

Y'all are missing the point. Start-up offers totally unrealistic salary, and gets some script kiddie who couldn't hack his or her way out of a paper bag. Said script kiddie builds …

No actual Skype account is involved. All spoofed. Person B is taking money out of Person A's account and making it look like a Skype subscription payment. Of course, if Person B wa…

Allen scores again. Too many CEOs are spending their time socializing and engaging in flame wars rather than doing things like working on a business model or building a company. Va…

No, a lot of people ARE angry about it, and not because of the money. The Web 2.0 crowd have been singing "It's not a bubble" for years. Some of us who lived through 1.0 knew bette…

It isn't up to someone in QA to determine what a company's product direction is. And no, I wouldn't hire someone who violated an NDA unless it was a serious life-threatening reason…

Eric, I'd agree, but at the same time, why is the U.S. so unaware of sites in other countries? It can't just be a language barrier, since there are tons of great English-language s…

I was actually discussing Web awards in general, and included two examples: ONA and the Webbys, but there are certainly a LOT more. There is a great deal of focus on U.S. audiences…

Heh. Skewers several of the "tech blogosphere" it-people. Too bad they'll think it doesn't apply to them.

OMG! Someone found the ??? between launch site and profit! MAKE TECHCRUNCH! You don't even need to have a business model anymore. 1. Launch site. 2. Make TechCrunch 3. PROFIT!!!! S…

Adding "cloud" or "grid" is really bs... when you think about it, companies like IBM and EDS have done this for years with their data centers. I don't think there is a health insur…

You have to. It's beyond hilarious.

Evite is a complete pain to use, and confusing to anyone who's never used it before. I think the bar here was set pretty low.

I'd be interested in seeing more data, as well as to know whether he's talking about NYC or NY as a whole. He uses them interchangeably, but is he also counting the rest of NY? Som…

The "killing" that they are making is by running ads for OTHER Facebook apps. Isn't that just passing the VC around?

iPhone has the App Store, through iTunes, and is already demonstrating that people will pay money to install those apps on their phones. Facebook apps plan to make money how exactl…

He was specifically calling out Dave Hornik for his bit about not investing in iPhone apps because it's too small a market. There's too much VC investment in junk they think will b…

Tila Tequila is number one and they couldn't even get the CEO at Linden Lab right? Fail.

Rumors abound that some stores are just going with the #suckit approach and handing over the phones sans activation. Maybe this whole forcing to an in-store activation was a poorly…

Isn't the price point also an ROI issue, though? The journalists and insiders already know what's coming, so paying huge amounts for a booth to preach to the choir doesn't show muc…

So is vi. So is PINE. But I want better tools.
