Interesting take at the end, I wouldn't necessarily call it a Win about AppleCare coverage, it only highlights all sorts of issues which are becoming increasingly common on Macs. L…

While stumbling upon different articles, I came across this video on YouTube of a guy in Shenzhen, China, that can replace the internal 16GB storage with a 128GB capacity NAND, so …

I don't even understand why this was necessary, with both my and my husband's employer in Nevada, I am able to get a discount on the cell bill plus I get to claim my cell phone bil…

Which also begs the question – why was his posted on HN in the first place?

They're still running it.

Why was this posted here? What's the relevancy?

I stick with .pdf files However, that might be bad practice.

I expect a comment like this on Reddit, not HN.

Ok and who will pay for that?

Yup. Retail stores and banks as well. There's plenty of large institutions that are using XP for day-to-day operations. And people wonder how "easy" it is for those darn hackers to…

My husband was watching a CNN news segment about the missing plane earlier today on the TV. As I overheard the program while I was on the laptop I couldn't help but notice the absu…

That is a really pedantic response that completely misses the point. You can't deny that there wasn't any real, marketed involvement used by the top Internet companies to promote t…

It's as if real political change requires investment in the process throughout various means for an extended period of time, isn't it?

This is a very trivial thing to focus on in the context of Nadella's letter. What exactly is your point? It's also a poor statement to chose for psycho-analysing and judging Nadell…

The world needed both.

The POS systems that I've observed in a standard retail setting have three main components: the printer for receipts, the main terminal (POS system) in which items are scanned (whi…

Reminds me of this video: http://youtu.be/c6Bkr_udado about loneliness (and how technology has influenced this)

I understood this point to deal with the abuse of the judicial system and the belief that law enforcement has the same powers as portrayed in TV shows like CSI, not in the fact tha…

Other ideas have the potential of going very wrong, it's in the implementation, which sounds like a challenge worth attempting to take
