Re:Snapchat murders Facebook on Tuesday October 14, 2014 @01:46PM (#8454672)
can the bar go any lower? how can we even think a phone app only used by adolescent people will take over social networking for all mankind. I do not know a single person who uses this app and all the audience in this video are teenage girls.
When I click on any of the product pages they are all 404's. Is this a dummy site?
I am Hindu. I was just suprised Lord Vishnu has a social media account.
Lord Vishnu ?
I googled the problem and opted out ecoasia from the extension settings when i noticed my urls getting redirected everytime. but i had no idea that the extensions can 'Access all data on all the websites'. now I notice most of my extensions like web developer, page ruler, web font previewer have this permissions. need further clarification from the chrome team as to what this exactly is. passwords? credit card numbers? can also be accessed by the extensions?

very nice. Wish I had this a couple of months back :). I had to spend a few days with zip.js and async.js to get something like this and it accepted only xlsx files.

iphone 5 & iOS safari... most amazing thing I have seen on a web browser. the experience was seamless and it actually felt like you were playing a video game.
Re:Bad Indian Programmers on Monday October 07, 2013 @01:59PM (#6509977)
The learning materials in India are atleast 5-10 years behind the trend in Silicon Valley and getting self taught is rare in India unless you have an excellent drive. Students pay cash and go to one of 'institutes' which promise you a job in 30 days. Its like feeding paper into a shredder. You can still get a top paying job in one of the Indian Consulting firms if you take a crash course is the 'latest' SAP module or Oracle DB.

Re:Free Yahoo username wishlist becomes paid ($1.99) watchlist on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @02:20PM (#6291699)
most of the yahoo mail users I know are getting hacked and spamming links to all contacts.. looks like they are trying reduce the number of user requests they are getting (it would be pretty easy to create id's and request novel usernames multiple times).. Yahoo mail is the most insecure mail I have every used.

relevant to? google maps being more sensitive & accurate? DNS hijacking and bigger companies protecting their trademarks better? I dunno.
Re:Why would you want to own a car if you could avoid it? on Thursday August 15, 2013 @02:47AM (#6216479)
Having a car is useful during crucial times like for weekend trips, grocery shopping or just go out with friends. Renting or using some car sharing app everytime is a hassle.
Re:Cisco to cut 4,000 jobs on Thursday August 15, 2013 @02:40AM (#6216468)
I honestly dont understand this sometimes. Such MNCs fire a lot of people and pays them severage and then after few months hires new people for similar but slightly different jobs.

I would be able to use it if there was a way to just keep the data only in my computer.
Re:WaterForward on Monday July 15, 2013 @12:48PM (#6046744)
I am not sure why they have a big blue button to go to next slide. I expect some kind of in page action for a button. As Centigonal said its just a slideshow. The message is good and everything but the design is not very.

Point 4 we could just easily type cntrl+f and type the message being displayed or alert etc... It would hardly take a few minutes to find out the problem.

Re:H1B Visa Lottery for FY 2014 on Friday April 05, 2013 @09:21PM (#5502167)
hes just applying again for H1B the second time after his 6 years expired for the previous time he was granted ( 3years reg + 3 years extension). Thats normal logic
Re:H1B Visa Lottery for FY 2014 on Friday April 05, 2013 @07:18PM (#5501647)
same here.. my OPT gets over in a few months.. this may screw me over completely and force me to go back to native country. Dreams in Silicon Valley burnt due to extremely limited cap.
Unless a person has a first hand account, this is nothing to discuss about. I have personally meet many successful CEOs or top ranking women in the valley. Geneder or Origin are not an issue unless you make them. All that matters is what ideas you have got and how you implement them.

I second this. The person is there at the conference as a rep for her company therefore it's speaking for the company.
Re:Why Are All My Friends Moving to Oakland? on Monday March 04, 2013 @03:17PM (#5320583)
Frankly move somewhere down south like San Mateo. Some parts of Oakland are dangerous and home invasions are quite common unless the community has hired private guards.
