That is the truth. I've had Ubuntu on my Dell laptop for years, and it was an entire learning experience to perfect the setup completely to my liking. It was great when I was young and had the time to play around, but recently I made the sa

I'd politely like to ask.. What, besides A/V work, is a 6+ core OS X machine necessary for?

Ditto to Hackintosh. The Mac Pro never was a good buy. Half the reason one buys an Apple product is because of the terrific build quality and design. That's extremely important in a notebook computer, something you'll carry around day in da

Am I the only one for whom this never worked? It didn't work 6 hours ago and it's not working now. Still Hacker News'd or just me?

As a broad observation about everyone on this thread, I'd say* a small percentage of the population (me included) naturally notices and thinks through details like these. Most other people (users and developers) don't give a crap and functi

I agree; it's also very distracting to me. The large, handwriting typeface works well for the list items as it makes you focus on it, but the "Today" heading should be different if only to clearly separate the middle section as your "list".

I never really use sort by price because I find that the cheapest results are usually not very relevant That's exactly part of the problem. If I'm searching for something specific like 'iPod Touch 32GB' I should not get results for $0.99

Very interesting post. The biggest thing it’s gotten me to think about is whether we’ve been using the internet “wrong” the past two decades. Maybe at some point in the future (or the present, for this blogger), the internet will be confine
