>uninformed comment by some woman. http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/about/people/jennifer-granick Are you serious? I am so over the know-it-all snark on HN.

This is an excellent explanation of the core outrage in this case. I can't believe there are people in other threads attempting to excuse the actions of the prosecutors. The publis…

There isn't a 37 signals "voting ring" but pretty much we see about a blog per week from them of extremely low/general quality. Often they are of a lifestyle/why we didn't go big a…

I'd also like to second the point regard the advertising of apps. Advertising your own app to me in a pop-up is pretty much the death-knell for my usage of any site.

Irrespective of the guilt or innocence of Assange or the Pirate Bay people there have been massive irregularities in Swedish government activities such that they can only be explai…

It's a harder technical problem than people think, in terms of scaling and encoding smoothly (and playing smoothly while the rest of the video loads, which Vimeo can't seem to do).…

"Dumbblack " "then proceeds to do what black men always can’t help but do" "black men always telling which way is up because they feel they are the “authority” when it comes to any…

Yes, I fail to see what Quora is other than a cliquey silicon valley Stack Overflow Q&A site which actively doesn't want more users because it acts protective over content, demands…

>No vacation policy This seems like you'd want to explain it a little more, given plenty of other companies cover flights to conferences and while that's a nice perk nobody conside…

Also the author missed the point of clicks, subsequent searches and back buttons/bounces: Google sees all of these as data to be mined. So while the Apple engineer is worried about…

>They say Apple's browser and HTML5 support are conspicuously superior to Android's. Not even remotely true for anyone who's used ICS. And it's not "Apple's browser" it's the rende…

This should be the top comment. Again and again we see Twitter, Facebook etc. being blamed for this type of stuff. But in truth these companies have well established processes to d…

>so far there’s zero evidence that it’s a good way of providing startup capital for would-be businesses Flagged immediately for this statement. Troll journalism.

Exactly the hidden issue here is whether you will have the newest version of Android or just be stuck on an old version. People are even still selling ICS capable phones with Andro…

This is the kind of ridiculous statement that comes from Slashdot. Yes for a Mars rover or medical device we might want some insane level of reliability. But reliable enough for Go…

This is a good example of the Apple cultist. Other products get panned all the time as only being incremental but nobody waxes lyrically about the "real people who take real pride …

Other than compatibility with other people I don't find MS Office has many advantages, but I will concede it is better designed, especially when you have to pay for it. Compatibili…

Andrew Orlowski has to be one of the most unreliable troll journalists and last person who's word I will take at face value.

It might be an incentive to pass fewer laws, or ones that aren't so long.

Broken HTML, demands Google login. Flagged.

I made this case last week. "Apple products are like a good classy restaurant or hotel chain. They take ingredients everyone has and put a lot of work into fit and finish, they mak…

For anyone who's not doing graphics as their main job description it is a photoshop killer. Asides from integration with other Adobe products, print colour management and a few hig…

People don't own ideas, they are granted temporary monopoly on real innovations to encourage their disclosure so that they, in the short term, and society, in the long term, can pr…

This is silly, touch screen technology, faster ARM cpus and the rest make these things possible and came from elsewhere. My first computer with a GUI was 100mhz. As soon as smartph…
