    Why don't you talk to joshkaufman about that "not providing any links" business, huh? But you don't, because you have a selective perception - what you do agree with does not need …

    Well, I've read a few articles about that spat, and made up my mind. I suggest you read a few articles yourself, get ahold of the facts, and stop the way small kids argue ("monopsc…

    Bullshit. Amazon told Hachette & Co "we are granting ourselves a big discount, from now on we will pay 20% less than before. Since this is nearly a monopsony, you can agree to thes…

    How about "how the Snowden relevations changed the behaviour with online porn"? Because I'm considering leaving all that behind. Some creepy organisation going all peeping tom on m…

    Thanks for the link. While it does indeed looks nice, it's not what I had in mind. This is basically isometric 2D. You're looking at a plane. Things that rise up, like pillars, are…

    The funny thing is, Dwarf Fortress is simulated in 3D. With the 3D viewer, you can even look at your terrain in 3D: http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/khyron2k/Dwarves/Dwar... …

    What a load of bullcrap... "where told". If you have a equipment to down planes, it's also your duty to have the proper radar equipment to reliably see what's up there, something t…

    Well, it was ambiguous to say the least, with all those "you"'s in it. If it was meant as an analogy, maybe you should have written it like this: > This is also silly. That's like …

    Well, when you say > You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave that's equally projecting something onto me, so... that's not a great way to have a product…

    > You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave. Well, in contrast to you, I plan to enjoy my life instead of wasting it by worrying about some possible bad a…

    I think you're overestimating the NSA's capability to cross-reference your actions and compare them to "what people like me should typically do". My point is, you should not change…

    No. That's common sense. If you don't do something on the internet, there is no data. No data = nothing suspicious.

    Yeah, and if you don't even have an internet connection, NSA is putting you on their most wanted list. Give me a break. Not doing something can't make you more suspicious.

    The article failed to mention that the previous $199 ipod touch hasn't had a camera, but now it does. Apple mentioned in a previous keynote that that $199 price point is kind of a …

    I agree. Also, Steve Jobs was probably even more driven, perfectionist and hurtfully direct than Phil. But Steve was just growing up in a different era, and cleverly realized that …

    Both the object detection and that 3D tracking seems to be focused on consumption. Consume more movies, more music, more books, more apps! How sad. A phone is the most intimate pie…

    What is speculation about this? - wifi and celltower db query servers are indeed hosted outside EU - Siri indeed uploads your whole address book - it even tells you about that befo…

    Of course, if you buy an iPhone in Europe, and you want to use it any significant manner, you're getting spied on by US agencies as well: - GPS: the wifi and celltower db queries t…

    Great site! So how do you come up with the TripExpert score? Do you read every review, map it manually to a number, then get the average? Or is it more like Rotten Tomatoes where e…
