All of those problems with the Segway could be solved if people were determined enough to use them. The Segway didn't take off because PEOPLE LOOK RIDICULOUS on them. "Wearable" co…

Heh, I suppose so. Thing is, I still feel like my initial assessment was right. It was a very poor fit the company I was at, not to mention it was a rather immature service at the …

I was at a company a few years ago where the designers and execs were all about using Yammer internally, and I thought it was a joke. A billion dollar joke, turns out.

Linux has finally grown up. It's getting DRM!

I recall an interview with him in which he said he sang the theme to the 1989 Batman movie into a tape recorder. The reason was, he thought of it during a commercial airline flight…

Reminds me of these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helio_(wireless_carrier) and their TV commercials in which there was always a teenager shouting "it's got MySpace mobile!"

Meanwhile, I saw a TV commercial for IE today. Amazing how things have changed from the days of 90+% market share dominance by IE.

This is why you do not play the IPO game unless you are an insider (underwriter or early investor of the company in question). You will lose. They will see to it. And you will have…

A P/E ratio of 30-45 would still indicate the market believes in a very high potential for growth. That just doesn't seem reasonable. Their potential user base is already nearly fu…

This needs to be higher. This is exactly the reason why what the article calls "Assumption X" is flawed.

Exactly. They took the site down and gave pause to anyone who is thinking of starting a similar site. Mission accomplished!

Aside from degradation, the difference the poster noticed in the display quality between the two different iPads can also be explained by two other phenomena: - "Silent" hardware r…

Yeah, if I were that guy I'd be playing this up for all it's worth. They're demanding that he prove it's not him, and saying that he "sound(s) guilty"? Is that a joke? If they real…

Yeah no kidding. That's one thing people seem to forget about that Joel article ... the new code base he's mocking went on to become the only browser capable of taking on Microsoft…

The #1 sign we are in a bubble is that people are writing articles saying we are not in a bubble. For reference, compare the following two editions of a book regarding the recent h…

Most of the UDID replacement "solutions" proposed so far are just cookies. They generate an identifier and write the data to a location such as the keychain, or a private pasteboar…

They certainly could still add a new API which does something along the lines of what you describe while still deprecating the UDID API. The only real catch is that they'd had have…

FB is indeed probably upset because employers were stupid and started asking applicants for their info directly instead of going behind their backs and asking FB for it instead (wh…

There are a lot more possibilities than just those six. It could be almost anywhere, really. For example, how about somewhere in Florida? There have been lots of foreclosures there…
