I love this idea, and I'd love to see more of it. However, I don't think companies are properly incentivised to offer employee time/expertise over money. You can get tax breaks for donating cash, leading a lot of companies to

Giving the Indian government access to BBM and BIS was a requirement to operate as a messaging service in India. People shouldn't be upset with BlackBerry for complying with regulations; outrage should be directed at the government for

The White House petition, along with this letter to Congress, exist to make the people signing them feel like they've done something about the situation. People are filled with outrage and clicking 'submit' allows them to ven

HN often automatically changes submission titles to the title of the submitted article. It prevents editorializing, although sometimes it leads to confusion.

I'm curious, what problems had you hoped the Z10 would solve, and in what way did it fall short? I'm considering the switch.

Weev was sentenced to 3.5 years for simply downloading AT&T's data that was made available over a public (but obscure) API. So yes, seems like you'll get prosecuted pretty harshly.

That was reason #2. Going from a 60gb cap (which I'd often go over by about 20gb) to a 300gb cap actually saved me a lot of money because of overage charges.

Originally I wrote a GreaseMonkey script to redirect me from their ad page to a Google search. At the time, it was better than nothing, but still not enough to keep me from dropping Rogers. YMMV, Last updated 2008: http://userscripts.org/s

The set of rules you internalize to be "normal behaviour" is influenced by your environment. A boy growing up in an isolated household in the woods will have a different model of normalcy, and so when he goes in to town he'll seem "off" to

I agree with you wholeheartedly, but for a non confrontational person this course of action is still a battle. When you see this all the time and fight it even just by calling it out, it still wears you out. Like it or not the hackerverse i

Rogers also used to serve ads in place of an error message when a bad URL was requested. That was the final straw causing me to cancel my service with them and switch to Teksavvy.

Off topic and unsolicited request: Can you make the font size of the article titles larger than the surrounding text? I'm getting a 'wall of text' feel from the design that is making it hard for me to delineate where one news item begins an

The title of the article is misleading. He didn't steal it, he cheated the casino out of it. This is an important distinction since in the eyes of the law the casino willingly gave him the money when he cashed out. The casino can catch you

What does the size of the company matter? If 5% of the workforce in a 100 person company slacks off, vs 5% in a 50k person workforce, why is should policy be any different for the 50k workforce? If you're implying the percentage of slackers

The argument I took away from this article isn't that we should be afraid that Google is working on some all seeing eye that could be used for evil, but that Glass represents a large step in the erosion of our privacy. Bit by bit for years

QNX is a subsidiary of BlackBerry, but they still do all their own hiring and a fair bit of marketing. You'd be applying to work at QNX, not at BlackBerry. Not to say there isn't a ton of crossover.

My complaint isn't aimed only at Microsoft for doing this, although this is the worst example I've seen. My complaint is that products are being marketed and sold using a false metric: hard drive space. iPads are sold this way, Android phon

Thank you. There is a strong HN bias in this discussion, as a lot of people are throwing their arms up and saying "of course! Software takes up memory!" For me it's about average customer experience. An average customer with 50GB of music w

I think the point you're making here is separate from the original article. It's always been a bit of a grey area that you can take a picture of someone and post it on InstaFlickaFacebookOGram without their consent. However Will's point is

I find it odd there is no discussion about what Google's motivation/business case is for Ingress. Reddit user Sharper_pmp has a compelling theory that it's an attempt to collect pedestrian route data to compete with Nokia's newly announced

I think the strategy is to let the browser be a platform for application development. The better the foundation, the more robust and varied apps developers can build, the stronger the ecosystem. Looking at it from the perspective of "so wha

I'm surprised they even released a hardware swipe solution at all. Most canadian cards have NFC embedded in them now (Interac Flash, MasterCard PayPass, Visa payWave). Surely a much simpler solution is just being able to tap my card to a me

This story has just the right mix of condescension, editorialization, and an absence of meaningful journalism. Forgive my cynicism but do a search for RIM or Blackberry 10 on HN and its easy to see why this is on the front page instead of s

Perhaps I don't know enough about how this works, but couldn't you use this to inject runnable javascript in to a page? If this is possible it's pretty scary as it would allow you to upload a hidden payload in to an otherwise innocent looki

Here is a question that probably betrays my naivety, but why can I even sign away my rights like that? What is to stop an employer from saying "We'll hire you, but only if you sign this, and if you don't we'll just find someone else." At th
