    If the tech shrinks enough to fit in what are today normal glass frames, then it will be everywhere. Until then I feel like it's more like the camera was before it merged with the …

    Depending on the data being analyzed the app could have a use for sports organizations as well. But that's a more difficult market to break in to directly. A company I helped with …

    $999 is cheap for a bar review. Prices do vary from state to state, but BarMax, Barbri, and Kaplan all offer programs for the CA bar. Barbri for California: $4,135 http://www.barbr…

    Not messaging per-se exactly, but making Dropbox an account that could be accessed through Mailbox. The standalone messaging without sending a file as well is just a wacky idea of …

    There are so many options once Dropbox can theoritcally be accessed through an inbox interface... Mailbox could be a first step to competing with Messages/gChat. Instead of rolling…

    Yeah, even if it influences the Xbox Arcade (and Sony, Nintendo competitors) then it could have an impact on the market simliar to the Steam effect. Every July and December gamers …

    I agree. I've always thought it was a combination: a thank you that the person took time to talk to you and with you about the position (especially a non-HR employee), a follow up …

    I am. I like restoring old computers, replacing capacitors etc. to get them running again, keeping my bike in order (though not my car), and messing around with HTML for simple thi…

    This is exactly what I am striving for. I don't want to program full-time, but I like to be able to understand enough and be able to muddle through somewhat if there's a project I …

    As an Apple user with an Android phone I've really tied with pointless bashing from either side. Android is successful and Apple fans need to live with that. At some point with it'…

    This. Cyanogen is still harder than jailbreaking an iOS device, but the gap is narrowing. As that edge reaches more casual users, who aren't just tech-heavy people, there's no reas…

    Exactly. This is the sentiment I expected to see on HN, where there is always praise for the hacker "building" and sticking it to the man because he/she can make something on their…

    Aren't the members of the handmade movement part of the capitalist system? If no one purchases their goods, preferring instead a factory made product, they will go out of business.…

    Amazon must have concluded that people with Kindle hardware would be more likely to buy books than those with who have Prime but an iPad which uses the Kindle, Nook, and iBook stor…

    What would be great would be a discount to purchase books you've already borrowed for free. Or just include book credits like Audible. Each year your Prime membership gives you 12 …

    I don't think anyone is talking about creating "STEM-lite" grads but maybe there are qualified people who for one reason or another can't pick up calculus as fast as the school wan…

    The new Chrome Remote Desktop BETA could go a long way towards increasing usability too.

    Not that I game enough on either platform for it to matter, but a unified gaming profile including Xbox Live and GameCenter (among others like Yahoo Fantasy Sports) would be fantas…

    What would be great is if iCloud is part of the long-rumored iOS 5 wireless syncing and updating for iPhones/iPads/iPods. One of the best things about my Android phone is that if I…

    Interestingly, if Microsoft does buy Skype and make it Windows only, they would be opening a huge door for GChat as [EDIT: the obvious] cross-platform client. FaceTime too, I guess…

    I haven't laughed so hard in months. The clay portraits and taxidermy rat simply amazing. That said, I bought a poster on etsy of the 500 most common passwords, it's not all creepy…
