Does anyone know why homoeopathic remedies are so common in India? Even my very educated Indian friends seem to use them with a surprising frequency, sometimes over actual medicine…

Microsoft didn't "give away" MS-DOS. Try making something useful out of it and you'll be sued faster than you can say MikeRoveSoft.

That seems like the most plausible scenario anyway. Karpeles was just trying to take down Bitcoin with him by blaming it on a 'Bitcoin bug'. All this is a joke just like everything…

I wonder where the future of 'social' is going. If history is any guide, Facebook will soon be out of the 'cool' factor and younger, nimbler startups with take over. It's not clear…

Isn't doing this against the law in the US or Japan? These things are just not acceptable. Karpeles needs to go to jail for a very long time
