I guess it should be "sexual abuse of two children under three years old" now?

I believe they're referring to the fact that Uber took specific action to promote itself by canceling surge pricing at JFK during the strike, not that it did anything passively through inaction. Lyft did not negate surge pricing that d

Prepare to go through this discussion again in two years after chip-and-pin's expensive rollout doesn't prevent or deter online CC theft, despite everyone having to get fancy new cards from their banks.

Everyone on HN is glad you're happy, but your single data point does fly in the face of statistically significant reliability problems with OCZ drives (ie, the only real way to evaluate storage manufacturers).

I think it's prudent given that while the agency apparently lowballed him, it's not clear whether the agency or Spike Lee's production company (40 Acres And A Mule Filmworks, appearing on the posters in question on his Facebo

Could I kill that icon in cornflower blue? This misses the point in favor of some misguided idealism, I think. It's hard enough to cram a functional, usable interface into the space provided often enough without worrying about throwing

I think there is a demand for t-shirts and henleys that a certain online-savvy, fit-conscious consumer demographic perceives to be customized.

Can I just downvote you for whining and confusing anecdotes for data?

Microsoft isn't betting on missing out on the next Minecraft. They're betting on being able to bring it to the platform once it's a confirmed hit. Compared to the consumer-facing mess that's XBLIG, it's hard to fault them.

We haven't seen pricing information. Rumors surrounding a subsidized model (as some versions of the Xbox 360 were sold) have been thick.

I'd posit that the very existence of exclusives is one of the things that defines this as a gaming console through and through, if no longer first and foremost.

It seems pretty obvious that they want to replace your Roku (easy - nobody owns Roku content) and your AppleTV (harder, iTunes lock in) and everything else in the ecosystem. The desire to be the "one" box people have in their living room is

You're getting a gaming console, with the addition of a host of other features that ensure the console platform can reach market stability through sales and continue to provide content - including the games you want to play - over the multi

They chose this angle because the number of people watching who care about the ethics of biometric data capture are basically a rounding error on a marketing spreadsheet.

You still think this is still primarily a game console? Microsoft is putting all its chips down on the battle for your living room, which is a major front. The fight to be the all-in-one device people buy that replaces their cable box, game

Your history of negative experiences is a nice anecdote, despite being extremely subjective.

It says a lot about the endurance of the human spirit that in the midst of a catastrophe like Sandy, you still found the inner strength to chug a gallon of milk like a true meathead frat boy and presumably upload it straight to Facebook. Th

Let me see if I can get the same tone as your comment: I have a hard time taking any complaint about vertical devices seriously when the page content is responsive and the bar is not static at lower resolutions. Perhaps rotate your monitor

The first grenade was waiting to be jumped on almost two years ago. Then there were more grenades every quarter. The only thing Andrew Mason's jumping on at this point is a pile of Scrooge McDuck money.

Westwood is absolutely nothing like downtown SF in this regard - its homeless population consists of about a half dozen friendly transients and a bird lady. I have no idea where this poster lived in SFO but he clearly has never been to the

This (and the top parent) are the only reasoned, insightful comments I've seen about the Pixel all day. If you have to be on a laptop, the screens on the new Macbook Pros are simply a joy to use - as long as you aren't mucking with bitmaps
