Most of what you mentioned came from big companies with a $billion or more. Mike is an Investor. When he says that innovation is not happening, its probably because he is not seeing good ones starting up, i.e a new comer with an amazing ide

Ooh! I had the same idea about providing contextual information. But you executed on it. This is a wonderful tool that I'd use. All the best. Keep improving it.

This whole implementation could just have been someone's weekend hobby that made it to production. Remember how Apple got its intel based macs? http://qr.ae/8eDNG Just want to mention it before we blurt out the obvious over-engineering ar

I think this is not true. Apple doesn't let you change icons on the home screen. Apps dont have that kind of control. Does it?

The blog doesn't give us a recipe to create the next big thing. It just explains the only way to make it.

Audiobooks & podcasts are my most used mode of learning. I generally take a walk while listening to the talk. Its a little exercise and learning at the same time. - Maintaining a regular route helps you focus. - make sure the entire ro

This whole Foxconn scrutiny is a blessing in disguise for Apple. How so? Apple has deep pockets and very healthy margins that they could afford to fix this whole issue while keeping it in the media's radar and then at the right time turn it

What we can get out of this is post is that there is a lack of common protocol between the existing contributors and new ones who want to jump in. If TODO is not the right fit, then something like a FIXME or TESTME should help the new devel

Damn society, why can't you let these guys have a company blog where they can blog about this.

We should start flagging users who post sensationalist stories on HN. Not reward them with karma.

And now these writers occupy HN. 597+ upvotes. Seriously? Sigh.

Singling out Path in this issue is not right. Instagram fixed the same issue in their new release. Ditto with Voxer. And more app updates to come. Its sad that one company is being shown all the heat. The issue is pervasive and the problem

How to differentiate: 1. Make it easy for one small class of people. 2. Convert people who dont blog than people who have a blog already.

Won't accept gmail and yahoo emails and has a mandatory company name field. It not just 'not targeted towards consumer market', its a 'we don't want the consumer market'.

Apple's manufacturing should not be compared to Google, because they dont do any manufacturing. Lets wait and see what they do with their Motorola devices then comment on it. Until then, the best comparison to Apple's hardware manufacturing

MS Office comparison is weak. You pay for MS Office to own the output. iBooks Author is free. You pay Apple only when you produce something out of it and sell it for profit. It is absurd to expect proprietary software to be free. Based on t

HN is a very small group of people. Its not worth the blackout. Infact we need it to be up to keep ourselves updated on that day. Instead, create labels [the mailing labels] named 'Stop SOPA' that can be stuck on our shirts. That'll create
