From the risks section:

We rely on a small percentage of our players for nearly all of our revenue.

A small percentage of our players account for nearly all of our revenue. We lose paying players in the ordinary course of business. In order to sustain our revenue levels, we must attract new paying players or increase the amount our players pay. To retain paying players, we must devote significant resources so that the games they play retain their interest and attract them to our other games. If we fail to grow or sustain the number of our paying players, or if the rate at which we add paying players declines or if the average amount our paying players pay declines, our business may not grow, our financial results will suffer, and our stock price may decline.

Is this normal in the social games industry?

"But there’s always the risk of winding up afoul of Arrington’s rules of the road. That’s what GroupMe did last month with news of a major acquisition. Arrington’s response was classic Tony Soprano. Speaking at a CEO summit in New York, he berated a GroupMe executive in the audience. “You fucked me over,” Mike said from the podium. He told everyone GroupMe was now cut off from his site, and threatened to do the same to anyone else who doesn’t let him dictate their press coverage."

i can't imagine how far down that line Humanity would be, if the resources and manpower wasted on our own internal problems (conflicts, war) would have been applied to it.

The software patent system in this country is broken.

Google said so in its initial blog about the Nortel portfolio.

Many VCs have been expressing the same thing in recent weeks.

These two separate actions represent the very early and very late stage of the technology game.

The fundamental problem, however, remains the same.

Help build the most popular mobile apps for the cruise vacation industry. Before you dismiss this as fluff with no technical challenges check out what we're working on. We are associating tens of thousands of Facebook ids with booked cruises across all cruise lines. Besides the obvious chat features (which will be available with the next updates) we want to let cruisers know who in their social graph will be on board with them or landing at their next port from another ship and so on. We are working with the largest port promotions provider to get our users relevant discounts at their next duty-free locations. We'll be providing lead generation and cruise search results for one of the most prestigious cruise travel agencies in the industry. These are just some of the few opportunities we wanted to say yes to right now.

Looking for iPhone, Android and server engineer (currently in Python). Full-time, intern, freelancer, whatever you can offer to help us get stuff done.

We are post launch, continuous deployment no funding (ask for details if interested). You'd be joining 1 2/3 developers and a business guy working out of a coffee shop. Your role would be as big as you'd want it to be.

I wonder how effective it would be to look up the MX record of each domain (or just the A record, as it looks like all of mailinator's alternate domains have MX records that just point to their own A records) and ban based on the IP address? You'd have to update periodically, I suppose, but all of mailinator's alternate domains resolve to the same IP address. Of course it seems to be a moot point nowadays.
They should find some better-read founders. There's a lot of pablum in this list, books that can be distilled to one or two sentences.

For example, the E-Myth: "Think of your business as a franchise prototype: work on it, not in it." I just saved you ten dollars and five hours not to mention a painful-to-read chapter about the author's mess of a life pre-profound insight.

Forget all the business and self-help books and just go read Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker and Founders at Work. (Read Getting Real though, because that book will knock some product design sense into you.)

I don't think "no mind" is a trivial solution by any means; and Vajrayana Buddhism (as well as some other branches) do allow for desire.

Agreed that there can be other solutions as well. However I do think Buddhism has some very valid critiques of unity and duality that it's well worth paying attention to.

In 2010, Perceptive Software joined Lexmark International as a stand-alone business unit, and as a result, our presence is rapidly expanding into the global ECM marketplace.

I'm a software developer at Perceptive and can say it is by far the best work environment I've been in. We're looking for more smart developers to join us. We're a C++/.NET/Java shop, but previous experience in any of those three isn't strictly necessary, as long as you're willing to learn.

Because of the way nested functions are implemented in GCC.

If you call a nested function it has to know the frame address of the containing function in order to refer to its local variables. So if you take the address of such a function the program actually receives the address of a "trampoline": a small sequence of instructions which first loads the frame address and then calls the real function.

The trampoline itself is generated dynamically and putting it on the stack turns out to be cheaper than heap allocating it.
I'm not, but I'm also not underestimating the casual gaming market. To me it seems like a classic disruptive innovation: leverage a new technology to serve the low end of the market better, vastly expanding it, and then slowly ramp up quality until you've eaten the whole market.

Stocks tend to be valued based on future earnings more than present earnings - after all, if you know that a company will be making more money next year, it's rational to buy their underpriced stock today and wait for it to appreciate.
Whoops, I meant the patents. Edited to fix my stupidity.

The contrast between the grey and white in such a small space makes it so the eyes can immediate tell the difference between the two.
"anarchist" does not indicate the simple lack of a stable government, it indicates a subscription to one of the many political/social theories/philosophies in the category known as "anarchism".

somalia is very obviously not an anarchist society, for that would require the majority of the population to be philosophically anarchist and organized in an anarchist manner. it is a collection of statist factions, each attempting to impose a state.

Google has spent a ton to increase Chrome's market share - both on adertising, and on bundling it with other products. The Skype installer downloads Chrome and installs its as the default browser—but only if the current default browser is IE. There's a choice to opt out, but the installer's standard action for IE users is to install Chrome as the new default browser.

I imagine the Skype installer deal will change once Microsoft takes over, but Chrome is also bundled in the installers for other popular software like Avast Antivirus and (I think) some of Adobe's products. That sort of deal means a lot of people will get Chrome without actively seeking it out.

Google's annual revenue is 300 times more than Mozilla's annual revenue. Even Google's net profit is 100 times more than Mozilla's entire revenue. And while Google does have many more products than just a browser, their huge cash flow gives them the flexibility to spend for browser marketshare in ways that are just not an option for Mozilla.

I would. A friend who works at Zynga showed me around a week ago. It looked like Wall St. meets Silicon Valley. Real-time metrics scrolled across flat screens. And huge teams of engineers packed into single rooms plotted different ways to bilk housewives. It was the first software company I'd ever seen where money was the metric. They have a quarterly bonus schedule and everyone was aware of how much money they've made for the company. If it weren't for the giant cardboard cartoons hanging from the ceiling, the dyed hair and the dogs, it would be indistinguishable from my sister's high yield bond desk at Morgan Stanley.

That beast is hungry. I wouldn't bet against it.
This would basically amount to Google paying for Hulu to be shut down. Who would buy Hulu? We know that its backers - NBCU (Comcast/GE), Fox (News Corp), and Disney/ABC - are not making as nearly as much money off of it as they want to. As a result, if they sell it off they are unlikely to support their content being on there even with the fees, since the fees Hulu is able to generate are not adequate.

The only reason I can see that Google would be interested in Hulu would be because it competes with Youtube. Because as soon as Hulu loses its media backers it appears doomed to go straight into the ground.
