For 3 Months, i did not log on to my Hotmail account and they deleted all my emails & contacts and locked my account.

Gmail was savior in those time. I had perfect email id on Hotmail but even that couldn't stop me from switching to Gmail.

Thermonuclear War!!

I think Mr. Olson should sue Amazon now.

Companies are using this content-mill fluff is to keep their blog alive.

See this example:

main website is

http://www.livinginchico.com/

Their blog: http://blog.livinginchico.com

This is unnecessary requirement enforced by Google on all these small shops. By keeping their Blog active they will maintain their ranking in Google.

Now see this blog post http://blog.livinginchico.com/blog/have-a-stress-free-thanks...

Now you will notice one thing, there are couple of outgoing links in the content:

"other dishes" going out to http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-fa...

"Check this one out here!" going out to http://www.cozi.com/live-simply/complete-plan-thanksgiving-d...

These are called backlink. This way realsimple.com and cozi.com will keep their raking up in the Google ranking.

So these days when you search in Google you click around from one content-mill fluff to another content-mill fluff. Google has been hijacked by these content-mills.

I am frustrated by this crap.

So after these so called content writers are done with this useless fluff. Someone in Demand Media will insert realsimple and cozi links into the article and post it on main website. The main purpose of this is to bring Cozi and Realsimple raking up in Google.

Search for "Make-Ahead Thanksgiving Recipes" in Google and enjoy the results. https://www.google.com/search?q=Make-Ahead+Thanksgiving+Reci...

>Google's algorithms do not need to tell the difference between good and bad articles

But this is not happening. In Most of the cases, Google cannot distinguish between good and bad content and they are ranking the results using their mysterious algorithm. They are still using Backlinks to rank a content and it is wrong.

To me, this is the worst email i have ever read about layoff announcement.

It did not assure me that there will be no more cuts in the near future. It will put fear in all twitter employees and they will be looking for work elsewhere.

"and other departments will be cut in parallel" what other departments? layoff announcement should be complete. This is an incomplete email about an incomplete decision.

"336" wtf, this email should talk in percentage, like, We plan to cut up to 1.4% of our workforce.

Complete bull (IMO)

Another solution is labor union.

I thought Tim Armstrong(AOL) is evil but Jeff is on another level. At least AOL did not fire the mother.

"glitch in the system", sounds like business requirement to me. HR could not reactivate her health insurance so they called it a glitch in the system.

I am sorry for all the folks working there.

Yeah, like having a vacation home in Florida is not for me. If I want i can have it, i can apply for mortgage and buy one tomorrow, but i can not afford it. I should not do it.

I do not understand why poor people have kids. There should be a guideline for married couples, which tells them that if family income is less then 90K in NYC, you can not afford to have kids, if it is more than 120K then they can have one kid etc.

"Having kids" not for everyone. Kids degrade your lifestyle, drain you financially and limit your chances if you are poor. It's a SCAM.

Hard to innovate when your main business idea is to scam money out of small businesses in the name of demoting negative reviews.

45 days before my contract expires with AT&T, i signed up a new service with T-mobile, i also ported my number to T-mobile.

With in a week, i got 150 bill for breaking the contract. I argued that i never asked to cancel the service. I want to pay my last month bill and complete my contract.

Nope!

AT&T cancelled my service because i ported my number. I ended up paying them 150$ just days before my contract expires. No prorated no discount.

Never ever going back to anything related AT&T. Never.

Who's Viewed Your Profile or your updates.

This feature is enough to avoid Linkedin. I am scared to click on any profile in linkedin just because of this feature. I always use incognito mode to look up folks in Linkedin. It is a creepy site.

Wait till your connections can submit hidden reviews about you and potential employers can view it for a small fee, like Carfax.

Jeff should spilit the Amazon in to two companies, Amazon.com and Amazon Research Labs. Amazon.com will be the old Amazon and he can continue his "copy the latest gadget or trend" in Amazon Research Labs.

I think he should shut down everything and focus on AWS and Amazon.com only.

I like it, it just that tower, it comes with, is useless.

Agile doesn't mean redoing the whole app everytime third party vendor releases the minor version.

So i was working on a small decision support system for a hospital. Some designer recommended their chart control and i used it in project.

In final stage, client asked for empty values support, i check and found that in next release they have this feature. So i said yes and gave them 1 week estimate. Assuming all i have to do is replace radchart dll.

But, I was wrong. I upgraded the Radchart and found 70% code is not working. Forget working, it's not even compiling anymore. Insted of deprecating the method, they remove it right away in next minor release.

I don't think there was any architect or senior programmers in their team.

In my previous company designers or managers fell for their shiny features and got trapped. Crappy product!

Another HP+Autonomy kinda scam.

Try Infragistics, you will never look back.

Telerik makes awful .Net components. I have used them in past. I was frustrated with their breaking changes, they had the worst release management. Every year they used to release new version and used to outright removed the methods or replace the signatures. No Deprecation!

Don't feed the Troll.

This petition is useless. She was merely following the orders, a puppet.

Evil company. Once they destroy the competition, they will use these tactics to squeeze out customers.

As an end-user, we must avoid Uber. We can't let them win.

Greed! It would not stop here. Today it is Netflix and youtube, tomorrow it will be image heavy sites. Then they will go after google, mail provider and bank sites etc.

>I don't see conspiracy here.

Lois Lerner pleaded the fifth couple of months back. She is accused of harassing tea party donors.

So moment a baby comes out of the uterus, doctor should read him/her the Miranda Warning.

Kid! everything is bugged, we are watching and recording everything. any thing you say or type, will be used against you in some kangaroo court. .... You have the right to consult an attorney and his cell phone and emails are bugged too. So nothing is confidential....

Good luck

>If the US spies on a German citizen, the US can't go and arrest said citizen without the German government's consent.

why arrest when we can blackmail them. (evil laugh)

Snowden is rat, he broke the code of silence. US Govt must punish him (or his parents GF etc.) severely to deter any furter incident.

He should be in FBI's most wanted list and Govt should offer some prize on his head.

capisce!

Yes my friend it is. Someone downvoted me for suggesting this.

If you mess with biggest contributor.. you are going to end up in solitary confinement.
