    You can use whois to see when the domain was registered. Since all the other extensions weren't registered I'd assume this is more of a brand style name and was registered fairly r…

    I guess it is also worth slightly less than 800 AOL patents. I think it is just how much someone will pay for it vs "worth". How can you really arrive at an estimate that NY Times …

    Think it's the filters. Some are purely an algorithm, but I assume other filters work by merging the photo with a template image. Maybe this has to be stored in high res in the app…

    While I mostly agree with this, I think over time you can see some reasons for re-write. Two of the errors used as examples as bug fixes may no longer be relevant with current hard…

    I don't think the qr code is failing, but actually just becoming mainstream. Seems to be trending up pretty well. http://www.google.com/trends?q=qr+code Whether it is due to market…

    I've gotten a few of these. When I did some research on the company it sounded like some of these links could be about gambling and herbal pills. That could have some implications …

    Probably coincidental, but the math lines up where Google could retroactively buy into the group at the price of it's 900M bid. After that the 4.5 Billion would be split evenly bet…

    Well, I think it depends on what you define as a success. To become celebrity filmmaker, probably so. But to "start over" and just find a better job like the guy in the tweet is as…

    The thing is it is actually worse than that. It is 100% conversion with the assumption that every single visitor would instead use accusing site instead of going to any of the othe…

    I understand your goal is to get the best deal for your client but I think the way you test potential vendors may be a little removed to give you adequate information. Consider thi…

    I know it's Wikipedia, but it's still impressive that they can get 50k donations in an hour.

    Also, which I think was not mentioned is they get to pay less operational expenses because the bandwidth used is lower.

    Fun to speculate, maybe clearwire? Or enter a new market and buy whirlpool and make iMicrowaves?

    Just one suggestion for your timeline. I would suggest "decided on domain name" and "bought a domain" appear one after the other. I just don't trust sitting on domain ideas if they…

    I also don't think they would want to encourage their patrons to take their phones out during meals. Think this is still considered poor form, could be wrong though. Think idea num…

    I was taught with the older techniques, but I like the new chunking and gridding system better. I think it is a lot closer to how you would break the problem down if you couldn't u…
