What version of Chrome are you running? It needs version 25, which is fairly recent.

Works for me on a AC700 Chromebook. I think it doesn't yet work on the Samsung ARM CB.

Anyone who is a throat cancer sufferer who has only recently quit smoking has paid quite a bit of tax, at least in the UK.

It's probably a deliberate error to provoke negativity. Or the guy was confusing HN with Google+

"Oracle has made Android a target in spite of the fact that Oracle has little or no stake in mobile devices, now or on the horizon" I guess the author never heard of J2ME. One of t…

Looking at the bottome of the page I see that Apple have a toll free number 400-666-8800, I take it we're supposed to wonder if that 666 is a coincidence as well? Saying that, if S…

I'm guessing that they used the link to imdb because it's copyable text, whereas on the studiobriefing.net site the post is actually a PNG file. That's the sort of thing that makes…

I completely disagree. For me, most of the value of the feed is the link to the original article. If I want to go to the HN comments, I can just click the comments link. If you rea…

What's the bet that if/when Google drops AP content completely AP will start suing them to get put back in to search results.

`iPod will die by next year` They quote Alan Sugar saying that the iPod would die by Christmas 2005 and then state "Incidentally, at the time Sugar's Amstrad and Apple were reporte…
