Because that would decrease housing prices. What will happen is homeowners will talk about the need to keep Oakland's character, which is codeword for stopping development of housi…

Also, you can argue that Google has been punished for daring to stand up to the US government (for example wanting to warn wikileaks about surveillance of its employees). Perhaps i…

You think you care, but you have no idea who gives you privacy. Maybe you trust Apple, but have you seen their code? What if snarfing your data leads to better data for siri? Then …

Out of all of these, only one stands out as a sure fire success: sonos.

This reminds me of the EU imposing browser choice on Microsoft's European customers. The result was a larger market share for google in the EU. In the USA, where no choice was mand…

Microsoft was caught with their pants down returning google search results to microsoft via internet explorer. They call it "a signal" for bing. The difference between google and m…

This coincides with my theory explaining why bing is bigger in the US and not Europe. European regulators forced microsoft to make it easy to switch search engines/browsers, and us…

Presto is a copy of dremel. Putting it all together: gfs -> hdfs bigtable -> hbase google mapreduce -> hadoop dremel -> presto protocol buffers -> swift

The high COL in the SF bay area has become a significant liability because people like you realize it's way too expensive here. It's affecting everyone from startups to really larg…

I wonder if this lack of being able to set / keep goals correlates to math which often involves goal setting then working backwards to find the right steps to reach a solution. Are…

There are multiple fronts. There are the microsoft/apple fronts where they use every opportunity to not provide google search results. Then there's European antitrust investigation…

Caffeine pills.

I bet Deepak Chopra knows, and it has something to do with quantum energy.

> So a poster, that later admits he didn't read the article, not only discounts the research that a half dozen PhDs in public health performed, but then provides his own summary of…

If I had a nickel for every apple fanboi claiming google steals from apple I'd be rich. Please, get over it, let's not act like apple doesn't copy.

This is the future we all need, and if the timelines are correct, it will be released this year, so very soon. Note that Apple should be releasing NFC soon, so it would probably wo…
