Let me preface this by saying that I'm frustrated on a regular basis by the claim that everything is sexist, because labeling someone who isn't with that word can be just as harmful. Especially in the tech industry and gaming and

Medium makes me laugh the same way showing up at an open-mic night full of amateur "poets" at the coffee shop makes me laugh.

Oh man, girls would never eat any of that food, am I right guys? Eh? Seriously though, I might make one or two of these.

With the degree to which the US government threatens, coerces, or infiltrates tech businesses, I don't have any real trust for any VPN service, whatsoever. I pay for one (proxpn - it was the only one that didn't seem completely sh

Oh, no. Now how will we discern the regular shitty content from the new fusioned shitty content?

No, because I'm aware of when my photo is taken and I am not friends with people who would splash up photos of myself and neither would my family (who I don't even know if are on facebook or other social networks, because I don&#x

Right, why give your child a leg-up on all those kids that have had every second of their life broadcast online, when you can milk it for the next dozen years and let it be their problem, in the future? But son .... all the other parents

I think the emphasis on Facebook is simply because that is what readers are familiar with, currently. Of course they will have to be aware of and active in protecting identities on other future networks, platforms, and services, too. At lea

Congratulations, but your exception does not disprove my observed generalization. People are, unfortunately, not usually as discreet as you state you are.

In which case, they really should just stick with the original. If they really want to change their imaging a bit, they need to go hire Hardgay. Hardgay goes to Yahoo!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSD8edviajE Seriously,

Yes, but can we be assured that Hyperloop will involve the same level of payola and corporate/government corruption that building a bullet-train (which American's have someone been convinced is a necessity) would?

Unfortunately, I believe Facebook toed over that critical mass that has moved it into a long-term dominator of social networking. It has long since passed the point where it's going to just go away and be replaced by something else, li

It isn't odd, at all. It's great to see someone treat their child's privacy with some value, instead of using them as a way to endear themselves to virtual friends or get laughs and votes on reddit, while putting photos and i

I assumed this, as soon as I realized they were using a branded dessert instead of a generic one.

I like to think of it as a modified version of the thing where businesses start out doing shady stuff and then suddenly go legit and everything is just okay. Think Napster, for example. They built their audience and popularity and business

If they're so technologically advanced in 2013, why do they need mom to help them get funding to go attend a camp where they are taught how to do something that they can learn freely online? Kids with none of these resources learned on thei

What a vapid article. There are a couple interesting people on the list, but there is still no true justification for why I'd want to waste my mental real-estate on them on a regular basis. For example, I really like Guy Kawasaki, but not e

This would mean that the value of one of these cheap tiny houses is about the price of three years worth of income. In America, a house (including land) averages around $200k to $250k in a fairly populated area (Denver, Portland, Seattle, e

I've never heard of being laid off as being looked down upon. Firing, sure, but not laid off. That's beyond your control and is a business decision. If your company wipes out an entire product because of some acquisition or poor executive "

IM is always running in the background. Facebook requires going to the website and logging in and monitoring it. And being "available" to a huge swath of people. Not to mention, all of my colleagues and co-workers are on IM. I'm not going t

I don't see any products, there. I just see a couple of lame features. Skype and group chat. Skype already does Skype, so I'm not sure why I'd load up Facebook just so I could skype through a webpage, instead. My IM client has done group ch

It probably will. I feel crude pointing this out, but it has become an annoyance to me in the past year. I consume a lot of technology and videogame journalism, so my comment is mostly derived from experiences there. (The person posting thi

That seems a little insane. How about a "we stop subsidizing breeders" policy? The rest of society no longer subsidizes and cares for your mistakes and desperate need to hump without a rubber and if you want to have a kid (just like if you

Fail to mention what to the government? That they got married? I'm pretty sure that's impossible to hide from the government. Especially when tax time comes around.

I agree that not everyone is an attention whore, but if they have enough people that they need to use social networking with that they have to bulk-load them, then they probably are. My contact book is enormous, but I don't need a social ne

The problem is that you never know when someone is just talking, just seeking attention, or is serious. Often, the most serious don't talk about it. They just do it. But even attempting it is bad enough and while many might make light of so

I could understand if it were just a little user icon off in the corner, but to have a huge 200x300 photo in the article is a little obnoxious, though probably not intentionally crude. If it's an automated function of the site that puts it

It's important to pause now and then to recall what a glorious time we live in, where we are alive at the same moment as so many other great human beings. Some in technology. Some in humanitarian works. Some in music. Even if they're near t
