How come I can't reply to TomGullen's remark? F-you HN.

How come others get to downvote my comments but I don't like-wise? This is what's hurting HN. Black box phenomenon like this. No information about the commenting process. Maybe reddit is on to something after all. The designer of this si

Except that everyone doesn't use HN. The people that registered their domains with GoDaddy generally don't frequent HN. Informative decisions about domain registration is basically preaching to the choir here on HN. OP's comment is perfe

What's shameful is that millions of not-too-savvy decided to make a serious decision without becoming savvy about domain registration. Profound? No, just pathetic.

I have no way of minimizing your "toolbar" at the bottom of your web site either. Weren't you created by O'Reilly.com?

Oh Make Magazine, please put your "close this slide show" button on the upper right instead of the upper left. I'm conditioned to look for X icons to close out of modal windows on the upper right not the upper left. Thaaaaaaanks.

I think any and all ads for kids apps should be in the Apple App Store or in the Android Market where they belong. I have no problem with selling apps for kids, but don't make it easy or even possible for them to buy one in your free app.

I can't seem to find any mention regarding how Calderon came to hold the iPhone 5 prototype in his possession. Can anyone shed light on this? The media never seems to report on this aspect of the case.

How does one get to walk around with the next iPhone prototype in a bar in the first place?

You might give Motodev from Motorola a try. It's basically a Motorola modified Eclipse for smartphone development. I like the snippets window and the project wizards. Free too.

Except that the URL string doesn't translate well in meat space. I cringe every time I hear someone on the radio or television read off a URL: "Log on to double 'U', double 'U', double 'U' dot mylonganduglywebsitename dot com, forward sla
