If they have the actual e-mails, then Zucker will have to pay. It's clear that he gave 50% to Ceglia but never disclosed the success of the site. Cegila for his part must be really naive.

The scale of poverty is huge. With 1.2 billion, the number of poor and destitute will always be high. This is unfortunate but true. I go to India a lot and do see people locking themselves in from reality. BUT, there are many more who do

Another point: You need game developers to work full time on your project and preferably be local.

This applies to apps too. Here my simple logic. Android phones are available for free from carriers. Thus, the typical Android buy is more price sensitive. They are more likely to choose free content & apps. iPhone customers don't ge

It's interesting how inventions from the early part of the 1900s are becoming more useful today. I remember reading an article which stated that engineers were re-discovering mathematical models from the early 1900s for use today. The big

Facebook is not boring but I do think the Fan pages have way too many updates. They get in the way of updates from my friends.

This is the best one I've seen so far today. BTW, Angry Birds RIO is disappointing. I miss the pigs!

Fix problems early and often. I currently work at Japanese company in San Jose, but I don't see this type of behavior. The caveat is that I've only worked for a year here, so I may not be exposed yet. I'd really like to know if Japanese s

I'll probably open mine in Pleasanton or Dublin, CA. It is 30 miles NW of Silicon Valley, give or take a few miles. Here's why: - Employees can get to these two cities using BART, 580, 680 or ACE trains. This allows me to make it easy fo

I spent a year or so networking heavily. I was a freelance developer hoping to meet businesses to work with. I did not get the results I hope for. The networking events were parties not business events. People just stood around, drank an

My answer: No. We still have Verizon and Sprint. We may get a duopoly in 5-10 years, but for now, AT&T is not a monopoly.

We used Amazon and got bad performance in the beginning too. It is bad when you pull files out of S3. By bad I mean the latency is high. We tried GoGrid and they lost or crashed our server instance. I've personally used Rackspace, so far

The worst program I ever worked on was spaghetti code with HTML, Javascript, PHP and PERL all entangled in one file. This was in 2003. In 2010, I encountered something very similar at a well known start up. Some things never change...

I've been to Dubai. It's boring, very boring. The shops & malls are too expensive. The non-Arab "residents" are mostly people stealing from their homeland and splurging in Dubai. It's really sad. Don't get me started on the South As

Bad missteps at Yahoo!. Apparently they have a new faster e-mail. Yahoo email in Flash/Javascript + visual ads really ruined my experience with Yahoo.

Sleep rocks! I am in the 2.5% that sleep 8 hours or more. I am much more productive during the day as a result. I am alert, my brain spins faster and I can take on more challenges. My friend is a superstar scientist/M.D. and he sleeps

The learning curve on git is high, but I understand the benefits. We use it at my current company , but we do make mistakes with it. Windows + SVN is so easy to use (and so entrenched), I'd recommend to new developers & students to lea

Businesses should use Groupon to bundle deals, not selling single items for deep discounts. This increases a businesses' volume and transaction costs go down per sale.

Video formats should be open and free to use/redistribute. Otherwise, startups can't get off the ground quickly (YouTube being the exception). Charge for encryption/licensing formats.
