    Yeah. Twitter needs to be more transparent on how they give those out. There's allegations that they require spending thousands on advertising unless you're a pop culture icon like…

    I agree. Monetization is their goal. It needs to happen to appease investors and the like. We'll have to see how much stink people put up when Twitter compromises on either 2 or 3 …

    Yeah. There have been a few instances of this already. Not just trolls, but journalists, people discussing politics, etc. I feel like Twitter trying to bend over to appease the peo…

    It's pretty cool to see work being done to get Android working better in a desktop environment. I applaud the progress. But I don't really have a need for this. I love my Chromeboo…

    Ask HN: What's a good way to get into a network security career?

    I'm a software engineer working for a consulting company. I haven't done any real programming at work in over a year and a half now because my current client has me doing IT and Sh…

    This is a good point, but T-Mobile's not exactly in a monopolistic position. Honestly, their music thing doesn't bother me too much. They included nearly every major service. It do…

    The worst part is that it starts the service and connects to China without your consent or making you aware of it. At least I can turn off Google sync without any issues.

    Very happy about this. Was thinking of picking up a Kinect when the original hackers made a USB driver and started an SDK. Decided to wait and I'm so glad Microsoft is actually pus…

    Wouldn't be too terribly difficult. I'd make one and keep it simple. Was thinking of doing it on Android possibly.

    As far as I can tell, Apple's new guidelines wouldn't let them put that app in the App Store anymore. Apple's guidelines say you have to sell through the app using their API and ca…

    When I first found Tumblr, I didn't really get it. I wondered why I'd use the service when other services like WordPress are out there. Then I saw the quick, small side of it and w…

    Zelda is one of my all time favorites. I love the series so much. Can't wait for the new game. Seeing this, though, makes me want to make an adventure game. Hmm....

    Sad, but many people saw this coming when Apple announced the new terms. It's just another step for Apple being more restrictive. What's next?

    Started with making text adventure games on my TI-83 calc back in freshman year of HS. I was curious as to how games worked and wanted to make my own. After that, I took a programm…

    Awesome. Thought about picking up a Kinect when the indie created SDK was coming out, but the official one should be awesome. Can't wait - even if my 360 is red ringed...

    Yeah, but I don't want to have to be moved to the YouTube app. I want to know if I can use the built in browser to watch HTML5 videos. I know I can do it on YouTube with my PC brow…

    Will the browser have full HTML5 support? Can I go to YouTube in it and watch videos without flash? I admittedly don't know much about the Android 3.0 browser.

    75,000 applications a week? Guess I shouldn't be surprised with how big of a company Google is, but still crazy to see that number.

    Something like this is huge if we're ever going to move towards a cloud based OS in the future. I can see why Google would push it so hard. Will be intereting to see how well it do…

    I agree with you, but the N1 is starting to feel a little dated. It still runs great, but in a few more months, it will be at best a low-mid range phone. I want a Tegra 2 device re…

    What the hell was that? I'm sorry for the bluntness of my statement, but that "article" was crap.

    Interesting. Never really thought about this. I have multiple Google accounts, but never really sign in with both on any device besides my Android phone.
