    And that excuses their sales tactics how?

  2. Re:official takedown notice? on YouTube Alters Copyright Algorithms, Will 'Manually' Review Some Claims · · Score: 1

    The content assholes were complaining that the process as you describe requires them to actually go through things and flag them themselves. They didn't want to do any actual work for this.

    It wasn't even that. It was that the content assholes were bitching that following the law wasn't good enough for YouTube.

    Of course, none of these will apply to their "Preferred Content Partners" like Universal.

    There aren't any antitrust issues here. Intel can do whatever it wants with it's processors

    Not everyone believes that a company can do whatever it wants.

    Yes, because I don't have the faith in the "free market" that many Libertarians have.

    Tell that to a Windows Phone or Android user.

    I like how you bitch about one company suing another, but cheer at the reverse.

    Ask Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft about it first.

    The iPad itself is pretty leading edge. It made a tablet that people actually could and wanted to use.

    I would probably care if there was anything worthwhile on the Blackberry platform, both in terms of devices and apps.

    How about just paying more attention to the battery, and charging it when it needs it?

    Of course, that completely depends on what your definition of "actual work" is. What you consider "actual work" others might not. I'm sure a construction worker believes that you tinkering on a computer all day is "actual work".

    post-PC doesn't mean that the PC isn't around anymore. It just means it's not the main device in most people's lives.

    Or it just could be that the current implementations of those things sucked major ass at the time, and they decided to focus their limited efforts onto things which they could do well, instead of half-assing a bunch of features to check some boxes on a marketer's list.

    You go against the herd mentality

    Don't most Android fanboys like to talk up the fact that Android has far more marketshare than the iPhone now? So can you really say that you're going against a "herd mentality" by buying a product that has the marketshare lead?

    Because it's not insightful. It's someone trying to act all hipster by saying he doesn't care about the story. If he didn't care about the story, why did he go to the trouble of commenting on it?

    37signals does something similar, just without the beachfront condo part. However, I believe they pay you as a contractor while they audition you.

  23. Sounds like a good idea on One Company's Week-Long Interview Process · · Score: 1

    This does seem to be one of he best ways to vet potential employees out there. The best way to see whether someone is a good fit for your company is to see what they can do; see how they can work, rather than ask them questions that don't really have anything to do with what the company is doing.

    I'm guessing that most companies aren't going to want to spend the time and money to vet employees this thoroughly, though. But for a small company, it can be well worth it.

    D-Pad also has the limitation of only having 4 weapons.

    More importantly I've thought these ideas through an made mockups (home made versions) to test for flaws so please spare me your bs.

    And how many other people were involved in that testing?
