SEO is killing the internet. Seriously, guys, even though you can fuck with search engines, you should not. Google is shutting you guys down already, and will be doing more soon to eliminate this spam.

Are there really adults reading hacker news with skins thin enough to be offended by his post? Perhaps e have a lot of web-monkeys who have a business plan to deep-link? Sheesh.

I'm not a troll, I'm perfectly serious. I am pointing out that Google claims that Dalvik "IS NOT JAVA!!!" which is funny because everybody knows Android runs Java™. Additionally, the specs are irrelevant when comparing the iPad, which runs

What do you mean? The name is still awful. Hell I am writing this on my iPad, and I still think it is an awful name. On edit: you missed my main point, which is that Xoom has no clear pronunciation. Is it "zoom?" I am supposing that is w

It needs to have higher specs, as it is running a knocked off Java. And as good as honeycomb cereal is, Android is pretty sluggish and ugly compared to iOS. iOS is gorgeous. Nobody bought the

What an awful name. Of course the iPad gas a lame name, but at least it has an obvious pronunciation. I see "Xoom" and say "exhume" which means to dig a body up. I think I smell the reek of death. Now if the exhume was only say, $300 for

You aren't a designer if you actually produce code. If you "can" code but do not, and use dreamweaver or a similar drawing to code tool, then yeah, you are a designer.

The lil blogger says "The Library of Congress declared that it is completely legal to jailbreak your devices." Firstly, the Library of Congress hardle makes legal decisions, and additionally, if they did, that does not imply that a company

Designers use a GUI tool like Dreamweaver, or do not code at all. Developers can make a program or web site using a text editor.

Hasn't this already been done by several different hackers? I am quite sure it has been.

You might be right, in a sense. But on the other hand things like meals out and skydiving lessons hold little appeal to me. Half off veggies or vehicle repair could be more up my alley.

Get a bunch of egotistical, powerful, and moderately financially successful aspies together and have them solve a problem. This is a recipe for disaster and anybody who reads the kernel mailing list knows it. Sadly about half the coders I

Advertising has become quite spammy and irrelevant. We've gotten away from the core issue, which is not inherently spammy at all - merchants interacting with people to retain their existing customers and win new customers. There

Bring the spice back into tech interviews? I guess I never knew it was there in the past, and had gone away. However, not to be too rude, but I will take my spice from spicier sources and stick to TED for my nerd fixes. I guess I am sayi

I think a smart "founder" saves his Porsche buying until after the company is actually profitable. A $50k salary for a founder is about the limit until the company is actually raking in some dough, unless the goal is to feel important and d

"that would be a remarkably stupid way for Google to empower the worst citizens of the web to hold the rest hostage" It is easy to forget that Google is not the Internet. A time goes on, SEO will cause Google to become nearly useless, and

True, but you can't really 'optimize' the search engines and make a nickel off ad revenue if you just link to an interview directly. Just like me you fell for the submitter's SEO trick. Now Google sees another link to that blog here and wi

It is FUD. Why hasn't Apple attacked Google for using Webkit in Chrome? This isn't too terribly dissimilar than what you are suggesting. One could make up doomsday scenarios all day, but the fact is that Apple has nothing to lose by wider

Obviously Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch libraries are a moving target and GNUstep is tracking those as best it can. There are already people releasing software for both: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNUstep#Ported_from_NeXTSTEP.2C... Rega
