Why didn't you just use something like Mailinator? They specialize in this exact thing. Gives you an API to grab links and everything. That's what I use.

Love this! Plus I didn't realize Silicon Valley was already on Amazon Prime, which means it's binge watching time!

I wonder if there's any published evidence of this. I've heard the same thing and it /seems/ reasonable but then again it could be folklore. I guess it depends on the company and how expensive it is to fix. I mean small

I don't run into this folklore very often but it does happen on occasion - I'll file this little tidbit away until its useful in the future. It is funny to think this number hasn't been adjusted since the mid 1970's.

Agreed. One of the other interesting / admirable things about Elon as a CEO is his ability to talk in such detail about his products. I think this is probably more normal for a founder than a CEO, but it sets a high bar for CEOs (and o

The explosion supposedly occurred at their test facility which probably makes this a not-so-big deal. Sure you don't want to damage (or blow up) test equipment but if you're going to do it, the test facility seems like the best pl

I agree. The article makes it seem like Larry is the driving force behind Google and Sergey is just along for the ride (aside from the meetings they take together and the ability to argue out points). Maybe that wasn't what the author

Anyone else remember this device from Star Wars - The Phantom Menace when Obi Wan Kenobi and Qui Gon Jinn swim down to Jar Jar's people? lol. If this were real and it isn't - it sounds like a rebreather ( http://en.wikip

What's wrong with a half-billion dollar loan from the government to help out building a car company? Isn't that exactly the type of loans our government should be making - ones to companies who create high-paying jobs, become succ

At least Spotify seems to be waiting until local and/or state governments contact them about collecting sales tax. With Amazon now collecting Sales tax on purchases here in California it's probably only a short time before Spotify

My former company was about 50% distributed - sales, finance, professional services were all in different areas except for development & testing. We were stuck working in the office. Then again we were only a 10 person company so I'm no

I'm assuming it will be more than "about 20 bucks" once people find out about this! On the plus side its free money from Google right?

Good for Wikipedia. Wikipedia should consider experimenting with different business models to generate money. Mozilla makes most of it's money from Google. By placing Google.com as their start page, they split the revenue generated from ad

Just imagine the margins a book seller has to have in order to operate a large store with 20+ employees. If you can walk-through the store and compare their prices with Amazon's it puts pressure on B&N not to charge as much, even if the
