To summarize the blog post- The solution to free email is paid email. And solution to email clients is to read privacy policy. It would be a cool post in 2007 when Google described their ad policy for gmail, and we gladly accepted that. As

The origin of girls allured to both industries (prostitution and pornography) is probably the same. The recent documentary of Rashida Jones, "Hot girls wanted", sheds modest light on this issue. On the other hand, prostitution is

My two cents... Open your startup in the third world, developing countries. Or, at least lead some people in those regions to grow their own problem solving skills with IT and engineering. Or, travel to those regions with your targeted dona

Nice hack! It felt like using the old Yahoo! chat rooms implemented on a world map. Chaotic environment, everybody writes, barely anyone replies to any message that makes sense. It's fun!

The phrase "unexpected reward" sounds sarcastic and the move of Blackberry seems the final nail in its coffin. Why does the world need yet another digital touch slab maker? Wouldn't they dedicate their full potential of hardw

I am fascinated by their construction technique, which is nothing but perfection of management. I was eagerly waiting to see the proposed 220 story, 850 m tall building construction in seven months since 2012, but that plan was halted due

This is by far the most impressive news in this WWDC to me. Wouldn't it be great if swift can break into the complexity of android development and bring simplicity and elegance in it!?

I would very much like to know how not-worshipping-money, less-greed, less-materialism are the elements of selfishness rather than of selflessness?

When I read this article few minutes ago I found the following phrases and quotes defining the characters of these people and justifying their acts- ...“It’s (money) an important tool. They don’t neglect it, but they also don’t worship it.”

Bootleg copies are for advertisement only, that's why the put the warning signs everywhere on it. So, technically copying bootlegs wouldn't be legal. Copyright is not an universal law and each country has its own definition of it.

I am not a lawyer. But, if a program is not distributed in your part of the world officially, it's not supposed to be illegal to download from different source. After all, the company is not losing any business. So, why not torrent it?

I found the IP addresses shown in that episode during the DDoS attack on evil corp. somewhat entertaining - 155.334.31.97, 155.264.991.875, 155.644.22.673,...... For a split second, I thought, I learned them wrong...

Very interesting story. I'm glad that the story has a happy ending. While reading the story, I felt how the world still has a huge reserve of big hearts, and they can only be found at the right situation. Also, gratefulness is not only
