It will be interesting to benchmark the new Razer laptops against these new MacBook Pros. On paper the Razer will seemingly far outperform the MBP, at the same size, at actually cheaper cost. That being said, I'll wait for benchmarks t

Twitter… consider this: The 3rd-party experiences are simply better than your native ones, and not because of their lack of ads. Additionally, your own Tweetdeck and (seemingly abandoned) Twitter for Mac don't display ads.

I'm incredibly curious what this looks like— does it just display an empty state? "Oops we have no stories for you!" or similar?

Reliability and Monkey Brains is not something I'd put in the same sentence. It's a pretty regular occurrence for it to go down at our office, even after moving to a new space, several streets down.

On the Retina MacBook Pro "Scrolling and animation tasks are jerky or just plain slow. I can’t deal with that in a new machine. Maybe in a year or two when it can drive its screen and a large external retina smoothly." What? Has t

HD over 3G/4G LTE cellular connection? The lag would in the order of a few seconds, which makes flying FPV extremely difficult. It also means a huge data bill unless I've been grandfathered into a "unlimited" data plan.

Black text on a vibrant green background is not very readable, unfortunately.

At 15, I doubt he was more concerned about the data than the actual device.

Was the affiliate link really necessary?

Correct, but this isn't obvious to everyone. This UI design seems purposefully chosen by Facebook to look as if the user has liked the post as well as the brand page.

You and I may know that, as may the rest of the HN community, but it shouldn't stop us from trying to protect our friends and family who use Facebook unawares to these practices. I know I don't want my mother thinking I liked a post about "

Yes, the OP is specifically referring to "Sponsored Stories" – the concern and alarm is raised because the user has no way of knowing what stories are being attached to their name, or even that its happening at all. As for your later point,

You've unfortunately missed the point. The "Johnny Wonny" user never 'liked' the article/post about 2 Girls 1 Cup. He merely like the VICE page. Facebook is now deciding to show the post to all his friends with his name attached, without an

Correct, but it is still a very valid concern. The post from OP stemmed from such an "unsophisticated viewer," namely: his mother; she thought that he had liked an article about "Penis Waffles" that VICE posted some months ago, and she urge

The point the OP is trying to make is not the liking of VICE – the "Johnny Wonny" account legitimately liked VICE, but did not like the POST that VICE chose to "sponsor" and show to other users as if he had liked it. It becomes disingenuous

My favorite anti-pattern to this is the following: "Would you like to cancel this transaction?" "OK" – "Cancel"

I think the point you raise is valid, but the way you arrive to it is disingenuous. North of $700? The iPad starts at $500, and recently, the iPad Mini at $330. Granted the Mini is late in this timeline, but it stands to reason the price po

Another player in this market may be VoiceBunny. They have similar pricing, faster turnaround time, much better recorded quality, but I'm not sure if their pool of talent will be as language diverse.

And you think programming/product design is unaffected by these disconnects? What if a server crashes? What if Illustrator doesn't draw the exact like the hand performed? There are physical and technological disconnects in much the same res

I've been a quiet fan of Color since the beginning, from a technology/team standpoint, not a product standpoint. I think its smart for Apple. We can all agree that the product launch and the product itself was terribly implemented, but that
