Amusingly, if you visit mercedes benz usa http://www.mbusa.com they have vic gundotra in the frontpage. Your hypothesis would be valid if facebook wasnt running an open ads platfor…

I find it disappointing that people find that reaction acceptable. Just like the fact that facebook bans Adsense ads in apps. Unless facebook can come up with an excuse such as "Yo…

4) HN doesn't make any money and is not advertised anywhere.

Interesting. Let's see how his first startup goes, and how it ends up. Remember the crunchpad? The main problem i see with him is that he's not technical. Also how popular are his …

While i can see people moving from facebook or to google+ (a lot of my friends already do), i dont know anyone who quit linkedin for g+. FB and google pretty much feed on each othe…

"With titles like these,Forbes is poised to fail."

Assuming you dont believe in mind-body duality, why would it not be representable in algorithmic form, since it can be mapped all the way down to deterministic chemical reactions?

There's a lot to be figured out before neuroscience even becomes a "proper" science, with laws and all. Even the most sophisticated methods have not been able to figure out fundame…

tl;dr ... haha not really. Google is on a roll. I both fear and love it.

But it's not like he joined the company last quarter. If the launch of g+ indicated anything, google is speeding up.

The implementation at browserid.org returns the email only . So there's no way to change the email without visiting all the sites you've registered in using browserid.

- No need to register your application with browserid.org - No need to use an oauth library (just 1 GET request) - Oauth provides access to user data on the provider, while browser…

Do an online poll and ask people "Do you know your openID" vs "Do you know your email". Users are trained to use emails for login, and that's a significant investment already.

I believe you will definately rely on one (of many possible) 3rd parties.

OTOH, facebook id != identity, neither is twitter username. There will always be some id that you won't be able to change. But you are right that email is a bad choice, and i was s…

They give you a token, you do a GET request to browserid.org with it and get the user's email, that's all. The user has to register their email with browserid.org first.

You can try it live at http://textchannels.com/ . I like it , it's pretty simple and neat. Easier than oauth login.

Isn't that what happens when someone compromises your email too?

This may sound embarassing, but i still get mass forwarded emails. I hope G+ will put an end to this.

This is actually a spatiotemporal cloak, not purely temporal. The probe is simply the laser (the green lines in the article picture).

I don't understand, since every single comment disagrees, why was this in the frontpage? Maybe because people like inspiring, loud words; they soothe, make you feel enlightened and…

Not really, it's not a relativistic phenomenon.
