The title of the submission has been changed. It used to be "I didn't realize MIT hired Luddites."

At the time, AOL's facilitation of people going online was a pretty big exception, too. After a short while, it was time to move on, and those who showed the way ahead were those who had already been critical of AOL.

"If you want to make different demands of users of your software than those of the GPL, BSD license, etc., you should not use one of those licenses." Licenses are legal instruments and the terms of free licenses give defined freedoms. The n

Remind is Free Software and what you are suggesting would make the license unfree. Obviously the author doesn't want that. Instead he chose to keep Remind free and remind Apple users of Apple's opposition to Free Software. It's hard to miss

No you shouldn't flag the article because of this. The iPhone 4 is what triggered Kottke's post but the point he's making is more general.

No, because they could experiment with other things to make profit. Playing with spam is playing with fire. Beyond foreseeable profitability, which is what most shareholders are interested in, this would damage their reputation and their bu

Google may be experimenting to find the right balance between spam and search quality. "Right" meaning the most profitable.

Google profits more from spammy search results than from quality search results? I don't think so. Definitely not in the long run .

The title of the submission "Why Reddit will be the next Digg" sounds like Reddit is going to go down like Digg. But the article's title is "Why Reddit will be the new Digg", and it's about how Reddit will take the top place that Digg o

Have you asked yourself why you have this mindset? Is it for technical curiosity, social status, boredom or something else? Whatever reason you honsetly find for that, ask yourself how much of it is externally induced through advertising, c

You may be right. But how is anyone supposed to approach Apple with business proposals under these conditions?

Interesting stuff. Reads like Apple sees itself as a walled garden of creativity, innovation and initiative. Any external, unsolicited idea that crosses the semipermeable walls of Cupertino is swallowed into a black hole becoming Apple's pr

That's the short answer. Winer has more to say about it: http://scripting.com/stories/2011/01/05/aReallyGoodAnalogy.h... Summary: RSS is alive, most UI's miss the point of the format but people are continuing to build new things with it.

The table titled "The US web search market share and volume" doesn't look convincing. The share for 2010 only shows October and November. How did Bing/Yahoo perform before?

Does the duplication of private information reduce it's value? I think it does. If there is a transfer of value from you to a company then you can call transfer that a sort of payment. The company may sell you something in return, but I
