This is similar to the telco model where they charge texts and phone calls. Charging for communication is really the only way I see Facebook ever hitting its IPO valuation. This example is a bit ext…

I'm in a similar boat. I've had every iPhone except for the 5 since the first one (Yes i got bit by the 62 day $200 price drop) and I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of the Lumia 920. My …

Yeah I totally agree. Separation of duties and rotation of duties is actually a pretty important security measure that should be employed at any company. When there is one person that does/knows it a…

I didn't realize there was so much contention over the Svbtle theme. I was using a Tumblr version, but I just changed to something standard as I spend time to work on my own custom theme. As far as …

I listen to either ratchet music or dubstep. Probably some of the worst music to listen to, but it gets me motivated.

Awesome idea. I was thinking that I needed something like this just this past weekend. I was working on a demo for my iPhone and the product actually works, but it was pouring rain all weekend in SF…

That is pretty funny and ironic!

A little over a year ago, I moved out to San Francisco from D.C. because I knew this was the hotbed of innovation and start-ups. Before moving here, I had no prior knowledge of any of the culture or …

Yeah, it looks like they "fixed the glitch" :)

I think it's too late for that :). I can't even upgrade beyond 11.10 and I'm looking for alternative Linux flavors if anyone has some good suggestions. I've heard Mint is nice.

Just upgraded yesterday. DOH!

Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering why the site wasn't showing up!

I wonder how this data compares to real contract projects in the Government and private sector? My hypothesis that the numbers are fairly similar because frankly; no one really knows what they are doi…

Yeah I totally agree. In two years, Ubuntu has gone from one of my favorite distros to one of my least favorite. I'm on 11.04 and I'll probably stay here until it's EOL'ed then move to Mint.

This makes the Instagram pulling of twitter cards look a lot more defensive than offensive.

I've been following Kim since my friend showed me the kimble.org flash website back in the early 2000's. All the events in his life could be an amazing story for a movie.

Yeah, that's true. The good thing is that their API has let other companies fill that void. Although with that being said, I think Instagram is changing it's focus with recent additions like the Fac…

Hey Chris, I found a bit more information on the co-founders on the Fresh Plum press release page. https://freshplum.com/pr/freshplum *Please don't shoot the messenger (me) :)…

Q. Did you build something users need? The reason I ask this is because a lot of times, this can be overlooked. I have found myself spending time twiddling with projects that seem cool to me, then wh…

Thank you!

Awww man, I thought this article was going to be about Mark Cuban's comments on the Facebook IPO.

Do you know where there are any samples a CCD XML file or better yet, a DTD for their format?

Oh man, you're the guy that did the cool site face lifts :).

> "The big negative for Facebook is that we will no longer push for likes or subscribers because we can't reach them all. Why would we invest in extending our Facebook audience size if we have to …

It's not technically being done in "hardware" although it's a separate hardware device. I think the Kickstarter "ad" mentions that they use a version of Linux on there and I'm guessing that their sof…

Yeah, all of your mobile devices.

They'd probably get all of their Twitter API key's revoked for "Duplicate Functionality." The 1.1 Developer Rules of the road are pretty harsh if you're syndicating tweets.

You must not be familiar with the Author. Let's just say He's extremely bullish on Facebook.

I see you're point, but when I look at the history of promotion and communication; companies have always had to pay to advertise. From commercials, to newspaper ads to those dreaded dinner time phone…

It's a pretty smart strategy. Charge people to communicate--it should reduce spam and bring FB more revenue. One thing I'm not sure of is how effective promoted posts are. I built a website and tri…
