This is mind numbing article and probably not worth anyone's time. The so called "best" advice is: Stay the hell out of other people's code*.

My employer is famous for hiring folks at executive levels from GE and I can tell you without doubt that most of them had been some of the the worse execs I have came across. I can…

It's not technology problem but execution problem. The 5 lbs/20 mi drones are quite feasible in wide urban areas to pre-selected customers. FAA is no longer a problem. It's all abo…

Hugh? “So, no thanks actually.” part was so important for you? I see how people like you and others have taken up to be the judge and jury and hang anyone who diverges from the ech…

While I don’t agree with @comesee, I don’t see his comments are offensive/vulgar language. Even the parent comment states very short and simple fact: > dang called me a troll after…

While I know how hard these people work, I really cannot support your enthusiasm. The users are often banned at slightest opportunities and they are not even informed what they did…

AAPL will survive, not because they are doing great but the fact that Android just can't pick up the slack. I was completely mind boggled when top Android phones decided to get rid…

With current state of things YouTube will be toast virtually with any copyright regulation. Huge amount of popular content on YouTube is stolen and retrofitted for your viewing ple…

That is a wrong analogy. FB does recommendations prominently luring in you to things that you didn't knew existed. It also filters and sorts to decide for you what information you …

Google had to punish Andy Rubin once because they found bondage porn on his work computer. Now, does that give you enough context?

Are you smoking something? There are no right answers, seriously? This dudes were the boss of victims who used their power to control their paycheck, promotions and career for sex.…

This is really on Google. Companies shouldn't be providing cover to sexual predators. They just made sure Andy keep abusing in his even more powerful position as CEO of startup. Sh…

I think it could be said that Andy Rubin's penis is responsible for delay in robot revolution at least by decade. BTW, surprising that article entirely forgot about Vic Gundotra wh…

What's up with calling these division leads as "CEO"? Do they only answer to the board elected by shareholders?

Even bigger issue on FB is fake ads. About 2 out of 3 ads I see are usually of some very bad product but with very attractive video and headline. I've seen people in my family buyi…

People took his code and re-distributed en-mass. BASIC paid the Microsoft bills for almost 4 years. Are you saying people stole and/or paid for unusable code?

Given average Android phone lifespan of 21 months, this leads to $2 per month charge for each Android user in EU. Not big deal for most users. However, interestingly all the fines …

This list is not about talent finders/leaders/managers. It's about people who wrote ton of code to accomplish something by themselves that would have been very very hard for a good…
