I agree that they overpaid but I think you are missing something big: they didn’t buy LI to improve Windows Phone, they bought it to integrate with Outlook and give their Enterpris…

This does not make them middle class. They are choosing to live in the expensive area and thus paying heavily for it. They could move 20 miles outside of the city, commute longer, …

This article nails it. I remember when Quora first came out, I thought that it was a great idea, like a stack overflow for the masses. Fast forward to now though and I find myself …

While this looks good aesthetically, this is a prime example of needlessly using JavaScript for the hell of it. This is like an anti best practice. It loads 4 extra resources (Angu…

This plugin seems to solve a problem and target a market that doesn't exist. It is also dangerous since it relies on WordPress itself being reachable in the event of catastrophe. W…

I know everyone likes to bash MS around here but is there any actual proof of Bitlocker's insecurity that is more recent than 2008? If you look at wikipedia it seems like the only …

Thats Lenovo's fault not Microsoft's, drivers haven't been a problem in ages. I have both a Macbook Retina and desktop gaming PC. I hand built the PC and all of the drivers automat…

I bet its a lot bigger than you think. For example, you can handle a ton of views on something like WordPress or Ghost with DO's smallest offering. Especially if you use it in comb…

You can't just take away the pre-built directives as they are a core module of "vanilla Angular" as stated on the front page of the API docs. From controllers (ngController), to mo…

There is a new movement to use Bitcoin nodes to greatly increase the speed of Tor. Its called Toroken. It was just announced this week: http://www.dailydot.com/technology/toroken-t…

I completely agree. By talking to the guy making the cards and not the boss, you are essentially showing him a product that makes a big part of his value as an employee obsolete. B…

I am a bitcoin miner and I have made a 8 BTC profit this year taking into account electricity fees. A common misconception is that you need to actually mine bitcoins to mine bitcoi…

There is no foul play going on, Mercedes planned this from the start. They knew that coming back into the sport they had no chance to catch the dominant Red Bull cars so for the la…

Please do Flywheel next time too

The same reason that the US Dollar (a piece of paper) is worth over 10x more than a South African ZAR (also a piece of paper)

Apple's 30% cut
