If you're a WhatsApp user, does Facebook's acquisition of the company make you think twice about using the service? Let's hear your thoughts.
In reply to: Will you still use it?
Ariella, Yes. That distraction let's them play a double game. And everyone is happy living in the lies of distraction. So why change? Meanwhile, now with more ways of knowing how your privacy is being taken away,...

Renat, I agree with your point: "If one thing that RedHat could do to make the world a better place - is to collaborate with Cloud Foundry community, to standardize around run-time and services, which are now incompatible." That's...

Charles, I only mentioned Canada in response to you wondering whether you'd have to pay tax on your winnings; I have no idea how the IRS works, but here in Canada you'd be fine. I didn't even know Josh was a fellow Canadian......
