I would call people out for excusing leading people on and lying to their faces. In public. In a room full of people that disagree with me. If I am in the wrong and downvotes (or in our analogy looks of disapproval or murmurs of hatred in m

Also, to people asking for invites, if you sign up on the list, you will generally receive one within a few days. Additionally, if you are a student you are guaranteed a free one: https://www.google.com/voice/students (though it took near

I got 3 invitations in the first week. I use Google Voice exclusively for all my calls and a decently high volume of my text messages. My invited users use the service heavily and I've been responsible for getting my brother and both my par

Uh, Chromium's open source, it could ask for FTP credentials and then upload them there...? There are any number of ways this could be done without giving any information to Google and only giving them to Chromium. Am I missing something?

You're welcome to suggest it, but it's really not the case. If someone did that to me I would be upset. I'm sorry that I have the common decency not to lie to people's faces, deceive them, string them on and then expect them to take it with

Laziness? Plus I like the fact that it's integrated into the browser itself. That might be irrational though, not sure how well integrated plugins can be in core browser stuff.

I didn't know that, that's awesome and definitely worth further consideration. Thanks for the information!

Oh I know, I'm just paranoid and have (yes, even me, the Google fanboy) my limits on what I'm willing to store on others' servers. I know, I can use xmarks or del.icio.us or whomever, but having bookmarks/extensions or (at least eventually)

Uh, at least among male internet users I am a small minority. I wouldn't worry about my collection, heh. Besides, they're still there and finding is half the fun.

There's an even easier solution... require confirmation via email. You send the post as an email, you get an email back immediately asking for post confirmation. edit: It looks like this is already standard functionality (if turned on, and

I would love to do this without sharing my extension data and bookmarks with Google. They already know what I search for. I don't really want them to know my favorite porn or cooking websites. How difficult would it be to add a different pr

No, I've lost interest in bothering, I'm pretty much just mocking it now. My comment just above and the comment comparing reddit to HN, I fully expected to get downmodded. The other comments were simply chastising HN's mockery of the guy th

You get AOL to add support for apple's push server into their Oscar protocol chain and I'll concede. My battery lasts fine and I'm generally logged into IRC and/or meebo for most of the day in addition to the Google Talk that I leave signed

"Chip designers are under so much pressure to deliver ever-faster CPUs that they’ll risk changing the meaning of your program, and possibly break it, in order to make it run faster" Uh huh. Let me know when that happens.

And this is okay?? This is acceptable? This is not a community that I want to be a part of.

No it's not. Point out what was so "acerbic" in my original reply. I've read it twice now and there's nothing out of line in it. The only emotion I injected was "I am startled". Yeah, really `acid in temper or mood`. Especially when * ironi

Write an IM app for the iPhone 4. You're wrong. These are the same excuses that people always make for apple, that simplicity and functionality are mutually exclusive. This excuse seems to usually be made ONLY for Apple. Why can't they have

Which is why I said excuses being made up and down the thread. I didn't mean to imply that you were excusing it, but many people were saying that Apple was being more reasonable that the developer which is why I spoke out in defense of the

No really. It's not actually multitasking. Downvote away, it's your ignorance.

Most pathetic downmodding I've seen on HN. This isn't even passive aggressive, this is just being a shitty human being. Fuck you all. It's really cool that HN is going the reddit route of downmodding comments that they disagree with. Althou

Oh it's funny because he thinks iOS multitasking is better. Or real.

That's shitty and I still can't believe people are making excuses for this type of behavior. It's pathetic.

If a woman said she's interested in you, never calls back, and says SHE will call YOU, you wouldn't have hope and stay interested? I don't understand why this thread seems to be going out of their way to shit on this guy. It's not like Appl

Right, my point was that VZW has made that mistake before on several phones and anyone with a brain knows better.

I can't believe the amount of misinformation about Android in general. I know this is a phone and not Android specifically, but in general, WTF? PCMag is reporting the Droid X and Droid 2 are the same phone, Engadget was making the same mis

Do you need someone to design/build a website for you? Your current site displays in a very thin column that is difficult and frustrating to read. Not to mention it's a bit lack luster.

Parent said "Apple banning Google's Admob is like..." and then you said "It's marketing". I don't buy it. It's a nice idea (well, not really) but I don't believe for a second that Apple is doing it for the publicity rather than the raw ad m
