A smart drug dealer never brings the drug home. He uses drop off locations. In this case, your phone maybe the drop off location.

First, don't trust a recruiter's technical information.

Second, maybe they are selling the information to other parties by letting the other parties grab the information themselves.

they can keep track of everything that you type, credit card info, wifi passwords, other passwords, sexting... so i guess nothing important, eh?

1080p output but a 600p screen without any video output capabilities. Why? Are they just saying they can re sample 1080p files to a lower resolution?

Manipulation Manipulation Manipulation.

Manipulation of the worth of the services on the coupons. Manipulation of the SEC IPO filings. Manipulation of the IPO timing. Picking a mini bull run to IPO. Manipulation of the financial statements. Sacrificing user acquisition to balance the books.

A company with a sound business doesn't require this much manipulation to operate.

Analysts ranged the price at 16-18 dollars. They were highlighting the estimated premium of the IPO.
hmmm..

Wouldn't it be better if there is mobile payment between phones? I would love to pay my friends by tapping with their phones.

LOL, i have this image of my pot guy showing me a paypass terminal.

dramatic, hyperbolic, AND pointless!

The title subtly implies TechCrunch may be over, but really it only says TechCrunch will change because of the "As We Know It" clause. You are losing a editor-in-chief, things will change, duh?

"just go out and do something" is the hardest when you are truly depressed. Even when you do, any sense of "awesomeness" fade so so fast.
