This is height of hypocrisy since Apple apparently uses Amazon S3 in their iMessage app, according to an earlier HN post that links here : http://imgur.com/fwXX5 "You can't mention Amazon, but we can use it."

Are you serious? $650 a night to stay in a treehouse with no shower or toilet? It would seem that after Ikea, the swedes think they can sell anything.

Sheer insanity. Mary is a moron and her app users are prime targets for hackers. Just because the test coverage passes, doesn't mean the code doesn't do something nefarious behind the scenes. If Mary doesn't review the code before release,

ACTUALLY , in 1961, Leonard Kleinrock of MIT invented the concept of wide area networks in his paper "Information Flow In Large Communication Nets" (1). After that, in 1964, a RAND employee by the name of Paul Baran wrote a paper entitled

Dallas/Fort Worth has had virtual libraries for years. You can check out ebooks just as you can real books from the physical library, and they maintain a fixed number of licenses. It's using http://www.overdrive.com/ as the basis.

You know, all of these are just glorified shells on top of the command-line tool, dd. You could just learn dd and save yourself some money.

I suppose everyone's entitled to their opinion. If you want no options, no changes, conformity, and lack of features, then I suggest you scoot yer butt over to the iPhone camp. Otherwise, how about you just choose a middle-of-the-road andro

Sounds like a rather clever way of getting a bunch of people to enter their itunes login/password as they test this crap out.

You should ask yourself why the developer went AWOL (and no, I am not the developer) (all of these questions are for you, and probably not suitable for discussion here) Was it you? Are you overbearing? controlling? Did you incessantly ema

I also am a fountain of ideas, and I've found that this is caused by burn out. My solution is to go do something completely different, that you wouldn't normally do, for a week or so. Many times I've found that new ideas on a new heighten

For beginners, Python is not what I'd suggest. I like javascript for beginners. It's not tightly typed, meaning you can experiment with variables of different types without worrying about what types they currently are. It's very fast, brows

While I won't mention the brand (because I happen to like it), I was once told by a similar support rep that they wouldn't honor the warranty after I installed Linux on it. Yeah. I took the drive back to Fry's and simply said "it doesn't wo

Yes. Thorium is the yummy chocolate and sprinkles donuts version of todays nuclear reactor. All the benefits and almost none of the drawbacks.

I spent just a few minutes in the OpenIndiana code base and found it rife with potential issues. For example, in the hsfs file system, there are no pointer assertions to protect against null pointers: http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/ill

Total BS Craig... You should be REWARDING innovation, not joining the cadre of douchebag trolls that try to kill it.

If you really want to differentiate yourselves, allow users to post their decks on THEIR web pages instead of forcing users to your site. THIS would be a value many would pay for. One other thing. I asked my tech-not-so-savvy wife to watch

I have been through a couple of startups, sold one, blah blah blah... It's usually the guy who is labeled "genius" that gets cut first :) Interesting concept, but hardly new... this was what SecondLife looked like 5 years ago.

You don't need a credit score if you can pay 50% down, which you may be able to do if you didn't pay all your money to the credit card companies.

No more or less honest than running TV commercials to get you to buy products during a television show. I presume you have some sort of logarithmic honesty scale by which one can measure their dastardliness? If so, please share.

One does not need a drivers license to drive. One merely needs a vehicle. The fact that not having a credit card damages your credit score should be enough to make even semi-intelligent people realize that credit score is not a fair a

Awesome article. Kudos for sticking to your guns, and I hope your revenues skyrocket, even though credit cards are the worst financial decision anyone could ever make. I'd rather YOU make money on their bad decisions than Chase or Citi.

Superconductivity is as near as we can come to cancelling the effect of gravitation, so this is more like anti-magnetism. A vacuum is still subject to gravitational waves, and we have had no way to test without gravitational waves to date.

Math majors, please correct me if I'm mistaken, but by my calculations, we won't be able to handle C0 speed data in CPUs until we hit 15 Phz (Petahertz) ( or 15,000,000 Ghz ) clock frequencies AND data/memory operations take 1 cycle, assumi
