That's what you get for being a leader. It isn't all glorious, either.

Think about music composers, movie directors, athletes, political leaders, etc.

The real horror is that they are trying to run another sham next year....

Marc Benioff has no credibility
these guys are definitely tools. it is not really about winning. its about being fair or not. it is a scam if teams had to pay to contend
Marc Benioff probably thought that it would be a win win situation if he shamelessly plug in one of his investments on top of naive hackers.

So does he even care?

What a show...

even if it was free...... how about time?
People gotta group up and sue them

We'll promise you that we won't be evil...;)

Re:Why the Chromebook pundits are out of touch with reality on Monday November 11, 2013 @03:26PM (#6713754)
I bought a Chromebook, installed ubuntu and played with it. The machine heats up fast and lags too much. The Chromebook couldn't even handle a default office app in ubuntu.

These so-called pundits are getting huge sum of money from ASUS, Samsung, google, etc...

This is possibly the worst nightmare for app developers. This problem applies to both Android and iOS.
Re:IOS 7 isn’t bad, change is just difficult on Monday July 01, 2013 @05:15PM (#5973600)
I'm using iOS7 and browing web through safari on iphone 4. I like it very much, but I think there is some disharmony with iOS 6 apps right now. Honestly, browing with safari is suprisingly awesome.

This joke sucks!
Re:Drugs and the Meaning of Life (2011) on Sunday June 30, 2013 @10:15PM (#5968254)
You may say you've never done any 'drugs'. But you've certainly gone through changes of consciousness. That's the author's point.
Re:Drugs and the Meaning of Life (2011) on Sunday June 30, 2013 @10:12PM (#5968240)
I don't find that taking a drug is any different than eating food or drinking water. You get hungry, so you eat and gain energy and feel fullness on your stomach, which leads you to drowsiness. Of course, conventionally, taking drugs(like smoking weed or taking MDMA) is done for different reasons than just survival.

I don't understand the hate with the decision of Google shutting down the Reader. Apparently, the Reader users aren't worth that much.
Re:iOS 7 looks familiar on Tuesday June 11, 2013 @03:23PM (#5864129)
We are talking about smartphone screens. There are not lots of flexibilities for UI design. You either slide up or to the side for a lock screen. And what about time?
