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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

There is a pretty good archery range here. Its free to practice and they also offer free lessons periodically though its booked in advance and always full. Its near Woodside. You can find it on yelp

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

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.
