Yes, that one. Paul Allen.

Apple papers? http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sec...

Ruby always needs a few more minutes than Java to get things done.

I think this is a symptom of a larger problem in the sense that if you really explain what it is most of these micro-startups do, it sounds like a ridiculous thing to expect to eve…

If you've got a really big tent can you sublet part of it out on Airbnb? They'll need to make the Location field a bit more flexible, probably.

It is interesting to see all the tweets exploding on this. The rumor is clearly that, just a rumor, but it is amazing to see so many people reject the idea outright. He may not be …

What makes this extra crazy is that the last time I was forced to think "Real? They still exist?" was because they were trying to market commercial DVD ripping software and complai…

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a dick, but how is this a "product" and not an intro to web programming 101 assignment?

Why do you suspect another such person exists? I mean, I don't even like Apple but I have to admit replacements for Jobs don't exactly grow on trees. If they did, Apple would have …

"So it's TSA's fault that I can move my legs on a flight, or I have to fight over armrests?" No, that isn't the TSA's fault, that's your fault for not buying a business or first cl…

"At long last, iPhone users will enjoy the level of carrier service and support that is their birthright." Birthright? Fuck you.

Your "EJ" moment will be someone dying of e-coli poisoning. Until then, have a ball!

I hesitated to even bring it up because I didn't know how to say it without it sounding like a personal attack, but FWIW, I didn't mean it as one. We all have photos taken of us th…

IMO the problem isn't that he looks 20, but rather that he looks pretty douchey in that photo. Looking young isn't so bad in this context, but looking like you just stepped off of …

Have any news sources stated whether or not EJ owns the place that got ransacked? I often see it referred to as her "apartment" in various places and was curious if she actually ow…

I can easily imagine they are done for. Not because of the PR backlash, but because what they are doing is already quasi-illegal in a lot of places and one juicy story like this th…

The criminals already know everything about her (real name, likely her social security number, etc), what on earth does she have to lose by "extremely public" blogging?

This post is spot on and the fact that airbnb keeps tripping over this point is just baffling. Are they ignorant or evil? They have to be one or the other. Isn't it common sense th…

All of this discussion about what airbnb should or shouldn't do is ultimately moot now. Unless they can prove "EJ" is totally fictional and/or an insane liar the company is essenti…
