As with any graphics format, different formats have strong points. One wouldn't use PNG for a portrait and a JPEG for a block of text. So I look at PDE and notice that its few poin…

yep definitely hell banned :)

I think they just want something to complain about and aren't actually on mac os. I've already seen a number of examples which are simply fairy tales. (Such as claiming they're bei…

Probably worth noting, since a few stories have left this out: The phones labelled "Sony" aren't actually Sony designs or devices. They're fully apple designed, most likely using t…

Contrary to the tweets, I think it's perfectly fine to be upset about sparrow no longer being developed. The days of software being unchanging are gone, that's a pre-internet way o…

In most cases software or firmware patching is sufficient, even in the case of some heat issues. If it can not be fixed via patch or only affecting a small batch of users, then ret…

If it's an overflow/waterfall type issue(for lack of a better descriptive term) then turning the screen off and on will fix it temporarily until the trigger (such as heat) sets it …

If it's heat from the hardware, that can still be fixed with either more optimised drivers, or outright capping performance.

Quality of membership(i.e actual use) is more important than raw membership numbers. Those who seek out LinkedIn/Facebook/others are likely to be more interested in using the servi…

I agree, designing in pixels has always been the wrong way to go about it. It is only needed when there is a restriction in the number of pixels available to work with(such as disp…

I wonder if the author is wondering why there is a sudden influx of traffic after 6 months. There is more interesting discussion on the ~7 months passed HN thread: http://news.ycom…

I'd recommend a simpler approach than contours or trying to convert blocked areas into patterns. Simply adjust the levels (or use replace colour) so the block colours aren't so dar…

I did laugh, but the poor performance is predictable. A single session of siri will produce nonsensical answers when asking a set of unrelated questions. The comparison is designed…

I think rather it's much more straight forward, Apple's mobile devices make up the bulk of their income, it's where they're pointing their business as a whole now. A growing segmen…

It's nice to see real discussion about good products, rather than hearing the opinions of thinly veiled loyalists. As a person who is often mistaken for being an apple fan because …

Sad panda. I thought this was going to be funny. Instead it's a serious attempt at linking the two, which is a bit like going to google trends and concluding that Christmas trees c…

Media distribution rights are held by the studio, the artist can continue to produce other content that their contract allows for(many have active twitter accounts/facebooks & behi…

Google's own top 10 searches are usually populated with music stars. Taking just last years Zeitgeist we have Rebecca Black and Adele in 1st and 7th place respectively. Sure it cou…

Vevo would certainly take a hit, but it won't be their end. I think a competitor could do more with vevo than the commoditising approach of youtube. Imagine if vevo were incorporat…

Thank you for your opinion on my conduct. However you should note that I did not make the argument that all "google fans" were of this type of illogical character, rather that some…

I don't think it'll be the undoing of youtube - not at all. Youtube offers much to their audience, this certainly won't dramatically change their business. It does however give any…

I get that this site(HN) has a lot of google fans, to the point that often completely illogical arguments are painfully maintained by characters that would rather gush loyalty than…

woosh

You're implying that my observation is ridiculous. I think you're the one being incredulous/insincere here.

My favourite part is the image of the model showing the samsung with an interface that closely resembles iOS. http://i.imgur.com/nsqFl.jpg
