I think Firefox has stumbled in the past few years but will experience a resurgence for two reasons: 1) privacy issues and a growing, healthy distrust for the behemoth that is Google and 2) the Chrome browser is slow, less responsive and mo

I wish more people understood the situation like you, but there are many fickle HN users who are silly putty in the hands of big media.

Americans have been so distracted with US propaganda on how bad China is with human rights, they didn't notice their own freedoms being pickpocketed. Now look at how bad it is. Snowden is a courageous, smart guy who is making a BIG poi

All you have heard is US media propaganda about being hacked by the Chinese. You never considered the possibility that the US may be doing the same to China, but much worse?

I have the Lumia 920 and Microsoft absolutely nailed the design of the OS. It works seamlessly with Office Live/Online/365 whatever the heck they call it too. The home screen of the phone agitates my OCD something fierce because I

Google's statement is too stuffed with presuppositions and it comes off as manipulative, at least to me. If it wasn't for this earth-rattling leak, Google would still be merrily handing over my emails to the NSA. Fail.

Great list. Could you post your alternatives to each one once you're done?

The pendulum has peaked at globalization and now it's swinging towards isolationism. Whether we like it or not borders have been drawn along the previously wild-west-like internet, and it may take on the form of virtual Berlin Walls.

Larry Page is a liar, straight up. For him to continue lying is pathetic.

Yes, it's becoming a one government world. A New World Order.

In China, the government is predictable and the streets are safe. In the US, the government is the enemy of the people and young school children are massacred while in public school for no reason. America, you have NOTHING to brag about.

All I'm saying is that you don't have all the information, so why try to discredit him so early? Wait until you have the facts before you condemn someone.

It's because the American people voted for looks over substance. Obama has no morals and no spine, but he looks and sounds like a Hollywood star. Obama is just the US population's reflection in the mirror.

Maybe he has connections in Hong Kong. What's so weird about that. Besides, Hong Kong is about as far away as you can physically get from the US.

Nowhere in the world can you escape from US omniscient powers nowadays, and I can't help think this may be the prophesied New World Order (or if you're a Christian, the "Great Abominable Church"). It's imperialism v

If anyone is skimming the comments to see if the article is a worthwhile read, it is. Excellent analysis.

This is modern doublespeak in action, the actual inversion of meanings. Translation: "Government has all access to our servers." The message is loud and clear from Google that we need to know doublespeak when we hear it. Class is

About whistleblowers, The Guardian[1] warned: ...the tactic of the US government has been to attack and demonize whistleblowers as a means of distracting attention from their own exposed wrongdoing and destroying the credibility of the mes

Obama prosecutes whistlelblowers at double the number of all previous presidents COMBINED (emphasis mine) and this is after Obama promised he wouldn't in 2008.

Yes. The uniformity of their responses is too similar to ignore or dismiss. It's chilling to read. It's a big fat hint to anyone not already drunk on the kool-aid that the NSA is coercing them to lie. They couldn't say it lou

Yesware looks promising, but I decided on a dedicated CRM (Upvise) because I like to keep my peas separate from my mash potatoes if you know what I mean.

Unfortunately, Obama is so amoral and charismatic, he'll wiggle out of this one as he always does.

Quickly is unscientific but very intuitive. It's determined by things like my energy levels, my finances, how well the launch is going, any new information I've received since launch - many factors. I can always go back and revisi

I'm glad Zoho is getting some love on HN. The article makes a lot of great points. Unfortunately I'm going to be a wet blanket: I've signed up on Zoho a bunch of times over the years but never stayed because of the Zoho desig

$2B build + $2B in hardware Meanwhile entire families are on the streets and there is rampant unemployment. I thought the government was supposed to be for the people, not against them.

I think a lot of people (myself included) are craving something different in the search space. From Altavista right up until now, search hasn't really changed much over the years. Refined and improved for sure, but not changed. It&#x27
