The organic install part of this calculation seems pretty suspect. In order to get the organic lift mentioned in the article the app would need to be pretty highly ranked _and_ likely sustain that rank for a while before getting 65%-100% th

This is so incredibly wrong in so many ways. Many developers were seduced into social games because people loved them and it seemed like a new frontier and a new market with shorter development cycles and interesting challenges. It is easy

From the headline you would think this is about talent being drained away from VCs, but it is just an interview with Danielle Morrill about her Zombie VC post.

I recently ran into an issue with D&B misspelling our company name. This was a massive hassle and I made over 6 phone calls to them and they kept on saying there was one more thing that had to be updated and it would be another 7-14 day

It can be, and there is nothing wrong with that. But if you focus only on academics you foster students that are only good at one thing. I might be cynical, but getting good grades in a class does not mean you are good at the subject mate

I think it is awesome that Cal Tech is so singularly focused on academics, it shows serious devotion. However, I think most people would agree that academics are not the only thing that matters for success, either personally or professional

What is the "usual metric bar with which games are critiqued"? I am pretty sure that is your opinion because there is no metric bar that all games are measured against. Game reviews do not use a good game checklist to explain why a game is

You are just not the target audience. If Zynga games were not fun to everyone, no one would play them. Just because you do not find them amusing does not make them bad games. I don't like the My Little Pony games aimed at 6 year old girls

I tried this, and I could only make it work when the phone was without a case. When I touched the metal directly I could make the signal go from 5 bars to 2 bars. With the case on I could not make it change at all. EDIT: this was holding

I suppose, but many of my friends completing their MBA's at the time had the exact same experience going into executive positions. I guess those people would still be "young executives", so they don't fit your argument either. Is this jus

I think this really depends on your situation. I was able to get a job in Boston during my final semester at CMU, mostly because it was clear I planned to move by a deadline no matter what.

I have been a longtime supporter of the EFF but I think they should stay out of this. The knee-jerk response related to journalistic privilege seems incorrect and as time goes on it is becoming very clear crimes were committed.

Maybe I misread the article, but it looks like the Fortune PR person never, ever states that TechCrunch is only supposed to post portions of the excerpts. This is the closest I could find: > And if you don’t mind, once you’ve read the e

That makes more sense. Wall posts are meant to be public and apparently these people love to over-share. What do the settings need to be in this situation? The recipient needs to have their wall set to "Everyone" and the poster needs to hav

Wait, these are the messages that are sent between two users? Does just one of them need to put their settings on "Everyone" to display both sides of the conversation? Please tell me this is a bug/hack/exploit/mistake/error.
