Mercifully, MS put out an update for the 360 that made that keyboard into a QWERTY keyboard.

Check where the reply links point to for some extra fun.

Q: Why did the computer programmer show up to the Halloween party in a Santa suit? A: OCT 31 = DEC 25

It might be slightly preferable to the existing problem with the AirBlade where the bottom portion traps water and becomes a germ pool party.

Agreed. I use Flickchart, a service that builds a "best of" list for you over time, and also builds a "highest rated movies you haven't seen yet" list. The other day, the lightbulb…

Wouldn't you have to leave it powered on for the entire flight? Seems like it would drain the battery before you got there.

I haven't been here for very long, but I can't say it's a "common sight" to see flip phones at coffee shops. :) On a more serious note, I have to agree with the bit about being a "…

Dumb question: isn't IFTTT one of the companies that HN always cautions against building (one dependent on the availability of others' sites/APIs)? Or does that only apply for site…

"Rubber Room", for me, at least, conjures up a whole different set of images: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/350/h...

The description makes it sound like he was visiting the supposed location of the Ark in Ethiopia (to me, at least): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Our_Lady_Mary_of_Zion htt…

Cryptonomicon is one of my favorite books of all time - I stared at that mushroom-shaped cave for the longest time trying to recall where I'd seen it!

I saw a web app someone had built on here to help facilitate apartment hunting for one person or a group of people. There was a free trial account, a personal subscription, and a g…

I think the parent is making a comment about the news.yc iOS app, not HN itself?

I had figured they needed to be there in person to get past the fingerprint scanner. Also, Bane's plan centers around presenting himself as a champion of the people -- I had figure…

I've been wondering for a while how much of that is due to the public chart of Linux/OS X/Windows donations. Does anyone know if Linux users donate at the same amount when that inf…

Downloaded the app just now. My friends were already teasing me about using Foursquare...I can already tell this is going to be even worse. (My one little bit of criticism is that …

Is this really feasible? I don't fly a lot, but the last time I was at an airport, the only areas that invited you to sit down/have a meal were on the far side of the TSA checkpoin…

I rode an MTA bus for the first time this past weekend with 0 knowledge of the MTA in general and had a pretty positive experience. Why are people staying away?

Steam supports achievements and some social features, although those aren't 1:1 with Live's social features.

(Well, I suppose that unlike a dorm, there's no communal kitchen/restroom, but to me, this still seems like it would be a step backwards for someone fresh out of college.)

"That demographic cohort wants to continue their collegiate experience for an indefinite amount of time," Kennedy said. "I envision this as a launching space as they get establishe…
