    This is what we been saying for long time now, and with "our" solution there's no need for barcodes - we rely 100% on "the image". No names as that will only lead to bashing, so we…

    I use Dropbox as of today, but I would easily - already considered it - replace it with multiple alternatives. The valuation of Dropbox got me choking more than LinkedIn valuation;…

    The "work on things you enjoy" part I buy - not the raise children part, but the article was written in a way it sounds like retirement = success. "This is how you become a me" kin…

    Not everyone live with that goal. You are assuming too much.

    Killer-tool! We have built some integrations to it to make our communication asynchronous (humans vs. humans, devs vs. servers, etc.), and got plans for even more. I know people be…

    When you start a startup I hope you do it to not fail. Even if you might fail first time(s) the mentality that "as long as I don't get fired" I consider the same as "I'm not sure a…

    I saw this being done way before 2007, U.S. patents are funny.

    I heard Bethesda's next version of the game will be titled "The Elder Patent Trolls". I also heard they are sueing all patent trolls for being patent trolls, as they consider thems…

    Then there are those like me that argue that G+ is for business/organizations.

    We got 30-40% on each sale. Not sure it's a US issue - in Europe it's 30%+.

    Yes, this is not even reminding of science. Someone felt like writing a blog post and needed something to rant...pie charts, wtf?

    Lovely! Is there a site for comparing implementations of "things"/methods in different languages/frameoworks in similar fashion? That would have been really neat to learn new langu…

    I think you missed his point; the title says it all: Same way people argue political matters, tools discussions (politics) can go out of hand with arguments created in the moment t…

    Of course that would be a scam, no capital letters or warning signs needed - it's very basic math; 50,000 shares of unknown value X has unknown value - a 5th grader knows that.

    "web programming is boring" I got no more to say than: "prove it scientifically" (you can't). How can you say web programming is boring as a fact? It's your view.
