I wonder if Michael Woodford (Olympus scandal) would be interested in having this brought to his attention.

Creepy sleepy drinky spider cider. I feel a children's book coming out of this.

Normal users don't have the ability to give themselves an unlimited number of email aliases. You need to own your own server/domain to do that. Gmail has a nice feature, but it doe…

Same here. I blacklisted their domain after awhile.

If you don't 0wn your phone, you don't own your phone.

I tried listening to his podcast a few times. Way too much arrogance all around, and the constant use of marketing and weasel words during the interviews made my blood pressure go …

This interview is absolutely damning. Eich repeatedly uses the Mozilla Foundation as a shield to protect himself, saying that Mozilla is being threatened, when it is he who is the …

Are there any known allegations or just flat-out known instances of Steve Jobs getting physically abusive with any of his employees or in the workplace environment? It's obvious he…

SMS is terrible for this. It is completely insecure. You can fake transmissions easily, and nothing is encrypted, so you can't discuss any private info. There are very good, and ob…

This isn't reddit, and if you are five, then you should be in day care.

This reads mostly like an advert for Replicant. "However, when Replicant is installed on the device, this back-door is not effective: Replicant does not cooperate with back-doors."…

This is why I have had to stop using a number of services which requested a photocopy of official government documentation. I am specifically thinking of how I had to dump my Dwoll…

I am not aware of any indication that this was a ponzi scheme. Saying that it was, without evidence, is misinformation. The loss of coins was unintentional on the behalf of MtGox. …

Your coins were gone months or even a year or two ago. You are just realizing it now. MtGox didn't realize they were missing either, until rather recently.

My three year old Nexus One has more storage with it's 32GB SD card plus it's 512MB internal storage. In fact, I don't think any of the Nexus phone has had more storage than the Ne…

I can't figure out what they are talking about, and documentation on the main site is little to none. There are a few examples, but the actual binaries and config file locations ar…

Scratch everything I said below. After reading what little documentation there is on FreeLAN, which isn't much, it looks like just another VPN solution like all the rest with nothi…

How is "Windows 8" NOT found on this discussion??? It is very unlikely, had Microsoft not decided to go nuts and release a dead-end train wreck of an OS that thew it's passengers/u…

I question if outrage articles like this belong on Hacker News. This is just a hot-button troll. Queue discussion regarding the decline of commenter quality on Hacker News.

Not to get all anti-Chinese here, because I'm not, but Xiaomi is a big-time GPL and intellectual property/license violator. Not like that's unusual with Chinese companies, but Xiao…

Confirmation bias is pretty close. People actively seek out not neutral factual information, but whatever makes them happy. Conservatives watch Fox NEWS because it makes them feel …

Previously, Kim Dotcom had made an allegation that Joe Biden himself was somehow involved. At the time, it seemed preposterous. Now,... it's entirely plausible.
