I guess it should be "sexual abuse of two children under three years old" now?

I believe they're referring to the fact that Uber took specific action to promote itself by canceling surge pricing at JFK during the strike, not that it did anything passively thr…

Prepare to go through this discussion again in two years after chip-and-pin's expensive rollout doesn't prevent or deter online CC theft, despite everyone having to get fancy new c…

I couldn't help but read this in the voice of Ed Norton's character from Fight Club.

Apparently not.

Everyone on HN is glad you're happy, but your single data point does fly in the face of statistically significant reliability problems with OCZ drives (ie, the only real way to eva…

I think it's prudent given that while the agency apparently lowballed him, it's not clear whether the agency or Spike Lee's production company (40 Acres And A Mule Filmworks, appea…

Could I kill that icon in cornflower blue? This misses the point in favor of some misguided idealism, I think. It's hard enough to cram a functional, usable interface into the spac…

You're getting a gaming console, with the addition of a host of other features that ensure the console platform can reach market stability through sales and continue to provide con…

They chose this angle because the number of people watching who care about the ethics of biometric data capture are basically a rounding error on a marketing spreadsheet.

You still think this is still primarily a game console? Microsoft is putting all its chips down on the battle for your living room, which is a major front. The fight to be the all-…

Your history of negative experiences is a nice anecdote, despite being extremely subjective.

fwoosh

It says a lot about the endurance of the human spirit that in the midst of a catastrophe like Sandy, you still found the inner strength to chug a gallon of milk like a true meathea…

Let me see if I can get the same tone as your comment: I have a hard time taking any complaint about vertical devices seriously when the page content is responsive and the bar is n…
