I disagree in part with the comment above, but why is this opinion being downvoted, wherever you stand on the issue ? Regardless of whether you take issue with the soundness of his argument, a dissenting voice should have a right to be hear

What's anachronistic about it ? it's STILL a haven for tax evaders. What's changing these days is rich people are renouncing en masse their US citizenship to escape the long arm of the IRS. I find it disgraceful & immora

The article specifically notes that the spikes happened when the new iPhones are released, not just announced. So, new Iphone envy is less of a reasonable explanation..than the release date usually coinciding with new versions of iOS being

It also costs close to 5000 euros per year. That's a little more than you'd lose to depreciation if you owned a luxury car. If you have to travel that much inside Germany to make that card worthwhile for you, then you have a probl

"Facebook" Didn't Mark Zuckerberg make news when he admitted that going HTML5 was a mistake...& promptly reversed course by opting for native on both iOS and Android ? As far I can remember, HTML5 Webview facebook on iOS

I never understood why in-app purchases have been branded as "evil" in the first place. As long as Apple doesn't offer developers a way to do trials, it's the closest way a customer can get a taste of an app's featu

the inner workings of space discovery are not the subject being discussed here. As an engineer, I'm more than mindful of the back & forth & general messiness of discovery, peer-reviews, control groups, & the like. I'm

No kidding, That's about the 6th time I've read about it these last two years. WHY doesn't NASA begin by establishing WHAT is it exactly that makes a solar system official "boundary" before producing press releases

Yours has to be the most dickish comment on a comment I've ever read on HN. Congratulations. What is it that you've added to the conversation again ? Nothing.

Blackberry used to be the crown jewel of the Canadian tech sector. There is always a hint of sentimentalism & cheering attached to their coverage by local media.

I'm starting to think the freakout we've seen in the media up to now is for much more than the Prism disclosure. This guy is the real thing, he's got serious insurance to bargain for his life & he's taken all precaut

I really really don't get the part where some early kickstarter backers still haven't seen their consoles shipped...all the while it's selling on Amazon on other retail channels. I just don't get it.

I beg to disagree. It barely did. The jump from iOS 5 to 6 was the most egregious in terms of not delivering much besides cosmetics. Sure I like iCloud, notifications & multitasking. But when you look at how far Android & Windows ph

My take as an iPhone 5 owner ( & every other iPhone before it.) iOS 6 is such a dud. I don't care about a larger screen or NFC or wireless charging as much as I am disappointed by the fact that iOS has barely evolved since it was first
