They have a lot of cash on hand: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=TWTR It's likely money left over from the IPO & previous fund raising events.
It'd be one thing if student loans were true unsecured debt but they're not. The government backs most student loans (even private ones) and they are not dismissible through bankruptcy. So, in some ways they're more…
This is awesome news for marketplaces who see the value in processing payments. Marketplace payments are a tough egg to crack and after meeting their CEO, Bill, and learning more of future plans, I think they're headed…
To build on gtcameron: The call comparison is bad -- the first one is when the phone is "unlocked" and the "new" one is when the phone is in a locked state. Also, the previous version would show a picture if you had a…
It looks the same on iOS 7 because Apple hasn't updated any of their non-preloaded apps yet. (iTunes Connect, Apple Store, iTunes U, Podcasts, iBooks are all other examples which have not been updated) Given that FMF…
The Settings app, Safari app and Compass app icon's are all pretty bad. (too much detail compared to the rest) I do agree with the general sentiment that the icons, in general, do not fit with the rest of the design…
At my university, they'd make the chirping noise, but it'd also state which road has the walk sign. So it'd repeatedly say "Farm Lane Walk Sign" while the sign was on.
That jump is for new loans, fortunately. All previous federal loans are locked in at the rate they were originally signed for.
While Atlanta is in the south, Atlanta proper is much like any other big city. There is an unbelievable amount of great food and every restaurant has vegetarian options (my wife is one), etc. I will admit that I hate…
Doubtful, given it is not web-based. edit: There is nothing definitively saying it is not web-based, but I do feel as if that would be a big talking point when they first introduced it if it were.
When you copy from outlook, it copies that unless you first double click on the contact then select just the email address.
"full mobile back-end" is pushing it. Don't get me wrong, I love what Parse has brought to the market, but the capability of it is limited at the moment. One of the biggest limitations is the length for which cloud code…
You can also consider moving elsewhere -- I'm paying $9.50/month to webfaction to host my app. While it took about a half hour to set everything up, (In my case rails, postgres, etc) I use Capistrano to deploy just as…
Seriously -- My mother died when I was 2, 24 years ago. The type of cancer she had took her quickly -- however, today, the available treatments would have likely given her a relatively normal life. Back then there was…
Is requiring a top university really a new thing at Yahoo? I remember 5-6 years ago when I was applying for internships I couldn't even finish my application as it required you to pick from a list of universities (no…
I agree -- I've turned down a job before I received a formal offer (was told one was in the works) partly because no one could tell me what the vacation policy was. Not that I'm only interested in time off work, but I…
Have you looked into whether or not your school provides free legal services? My university's student government paid for two pretty awesome lawyers (through a student tax) which could be used for pretty much any legal…
Rdio does #1, and has the ability for #2, although I'm not sure if there are many apps consuming Rdio's API.
User interface is huge for me, especially from a mobile app standpoint. In my opinion, Spotify's mobile app is pretty terrible when compared to Rdio's. Also, I love the "Collection" feature of Rdio which puts the music…
The beta testing is all done. The game comes out in two weeks.
Me too. I had the chance to play the beta last weekend and even with reduced functionality the game was quite a lot of fun. I rarely if ever play games and I'm certain this will be a terrible time suck.
I agree -- I think this is more Apple's problem than anything. If I disable location data for an app, Apple shouldn't allow any form of my location to be passed to that app.
This. I switched from github to bitbucket in all of about 10 minutes a weekend ago for my private repos. $7/month more in my pocket. I did find it interesting that when I canceled with Github they killed my "paid…
This is awesome. Google Play is a very frustrating marketplace from a review standpoint. Itunes is a little bit less frustrating, but frustrating nonetheless.
If I'm still worth more than a billion, no I would not give up my citizenship. When you're worth more than a billion dollars, as Bill Gates has said, money is of no worry any more. You would have to be an idiot to lose…
