I read this and I think - what would the creator of MS Paint think if he read this story. As a developer and a creator, if I would ever read a story like this, about a product that I had created, I would think my life to be complete. Storie

maybe it's just me but there seems to be a bug when viewing this on the ipad. I clicked on an image and could not figure out how to close the full screen preview. Just something you should look into.

just wanted to say that your book is what got me interested in data science and python. I would be in a very different place today if it wasn't for your book! So, thank you!

how exactly is WhatsApp "pushing around" Apple - that would indicate that there is a power & influence sort of relationship between the two companies. Rather, this is a case of WhatsApp outperforming Apple due to its multi-platform supp

just curious, is it legal to just send a balloon up in the air? considering there are so many different kinds of planes flying around, wouldn't you need clearance from the FAA or other regulatory authorities before doing this?

Awesome news, but I kind of felt Svpply had a very broad focus. I'm interested in seeing what some of the newer startups in this segment, with a more specific focus, will fair out (eg. http://lover.ly for weddings, http://www.threadmatch

Anyone notice the name "Joeseph Schumpeter" on the sample card? Its a reference to Schumpeter's Creative Destruction - further implying them to be in the process of destroying the old ways of doing things (in this case banking) with a radic

I have often been in situations like this one. I have always found it easiest to just give-up and leave - quit - pack your bags. Yet, after making such a mistake once, I have realized that it is not the right approach. The ideal approach is

I agree with kloc - you are not the target audience for this market. The reality is that the digital divide is still so real in India. The idea is to not give [underprivileged] children a toy product for watching YouTube videos, but to give

I don't get it! How does this network work? What value does it provide? Why would it make me move away from FB? How is this different from diaspora?

I feel it's a disservice to Steve's legacy to take portions of the book out of context and derive inferences. For example, in this article, I can't understand how any comparisons can be derived between Mark, Larry and Bill Gates. All three

The linked video (in german) explains this. Apparently Facebook has a registered HQ in Ireland (presumably - as someone mentioned in another thread - for tax purposes). Since it is a registered business in Ireland, it is subject to all Iris

This article completely misses the point. Hastings & Co. made a mistake. Yes. But they are learning and dealing with it way better than I would have imagined. At least they acknowledge a mistake and the CEO isn't egotistical enough to t

this just reaffirms my belief that jobs had a distinct sense of style and taste that far exceeds the normal. I think one of the things that played to his favor that he wasn't so much interested in the "what is possible" and "what isn't", ra

The title seems a bit ambiguous because for a second I thought Google Voice has silently decided to discontinue the Text sending feature. On another note, I've been using Google Voice for a long time and haven't experienced this.
