Barclaycard Arrival Plus missing from the list, it's my go-to card. I recommend it to everyone. * 2 points for each $1 spent + 5% bonus on redeeming (effectively 2.1% in cash back) * 70,000 points ($700) on signup with minimum spend *

"+1" seems like a neutral enough option that endorses the sentiment of the post, without ascribing an emotion to it. Except Google+ is already using it.

We saw this coming when they announced that they were acquired by PayPal a couple of months ago, and read this line: "When asked if StackMob will continue to operate as normal, he said it was too early to tell since the acquisition jus

T-Mobile simply doesn't have any data coverage outside of major metropolitan areas. If you're someone that travels outside these areas, you will be unable to use your devices for anything but calls and texts. That's a big cav

Swiping from the edge of the screen is not always easy with a protective case on your phone, as it impedes your ability to do so. Pretty annoying problem that I haven't seen that considered in many places.

I don't think that's true. Some of these apps use elements from the Holo UI themes that are distinctly Android, and still look beautiful.

All the ones I really care about--Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google--don't have a class yet (what does that even mean?). Regardless, this is great for a quick summary of what you're agreeing to (or already agreed to).

The benefit is mostly for the bloggers. They get a UI which is custom-designed to focus on writing and little else. Dustin Curtis explains it here - http://dcurt.is/codename-svbtle

Agree with your first two points, especially in the comparison to NYC. They're just not comparable from the outset--NY is way bigger (469 sq miles and 8+ million residents, while Boston is 90 sq miles and 600,000 residents). But I'd say bar

Same here. Was on my phone, but it wouldn't show up in Play Store app search, only on the web interface. Since there's no mobile web version of the Play Store, I had to navigate the desktop version using my mobile device. Really poor downlo

By blacking out, do they mean actually removing all content for that one day, or just something symbolic like applying a dark theme on their site?

I went to the London Transport Museum that chronicles the history of the city's mass transit system. It's chock-full of these types of posters from Transport for London, and also delves deeply into the design strategies throughout the diffe

Do people just like paying for things? If a company can find a way to make money off ads and keep the product free, I'll gladly take that over paying a subscription fee.

On a related and more positive note: Microsoft also released a preview of changes they're making to the actual copy/paste process. And it's kind of cool. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows8-file-copy-win8-win...

Why does everyone on HN seem to be so anti-advertisements? I read of people willing to pay money out of their own pocket just to use services that would otherwise be free and ad-supported. I don't disable ads, mostly because many sites I vi

Usually for me fonts in Chrome/Win7 look worse than they do on FF5/Win7. But in this case, they both render the text as in the OSX screenshot above.
