FWIW, I have created a HN stream and added ~40 of you who sent emails. You should be able to signup to google+ using that. If it tells you to retry later, please do that. It works …

If you need an invite, please email me at lists at anands dot net. I have a few, will add you all when they re-open invite feature. Please say Google+ in the subject and it would b…

f k, you just described my life. I live in a fantastic bubble and work in a fantastic bubble. I travel in a car driven by my driver and I pretend the in between doesn't exist.

As an entrepreneur who moved to Bangalore recently, I completely agree to Sridhar's post here. My 2 paise - do a India based / focused startup, just live outside India's cities (if…

Slashtags are a neat idea, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks for the lifehacker link. That would have saved me a couple of hours.

My experience has been horrible. I noticed bad slowdown in every app launching immediately after the upgrade. Apps took 30 secs to 1 min to launch (twitter, lose it, even calculato…

I had installed iOS4 on my iPhone 3G and saw it crawl to becoming an iPaperWeight. It was horribly slow in launching every app and the keyboard was so slow it was unusable. I had t…

Got it working. I followed the instructions and got stuck with error 1015. I had to do two things. 1. Switch of your iPhone and put it in DFU mode with following instructions - Cli…

Apple people are Bastiat fans. Who knew? :) http://goo.gl/5jEe

Didn't work. Restore failed. Trying to restore to iOS4 now.

Trying now, thanks.

Do you mean a restore and reinstall all your apps?

I have read this a few times now about Apple trying to get a low cost TV package for iTunes. http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_15121131?IADID=Search-www.merc... I think until they can …

That is correct. Hence my gripes towards the mini - it wasn't designed to be a digital media player, whereas the AppleTv is (HDMI, optical out). If it supported 1080p and was open,…

I have two iMacs which already do what you say (Drobo as well). Don't want another device hooked there.

Have you tried it? It crashes the Apple Tv about twice a day, I reverted back to the Apple Tv OS.

You are right. Apple TV should have been this product, if it was open and allowed you to browse any website and ran flash, it didn't. Boxee would be this product if it had shipped …

Exactly. If that happens and casual games make it to the TV through this, fun times ahead. Even otherwise, whoever can handle web flash games correctly with the controller (expect …

oh, for the demo they showed a keyboard and an android phone as well. The input device / controller is going to vary based on provider. I can imagine there will be many remotes wit…

Yes, it definitely is more functional. Every now and then I am tempted to spend the $600 for a dedicated mini, but why bother? If a boxee box does the job for $200, has 1080p, 7.1 …

You are correct in some ways. But no true optical audio out? You use a Toslink to Optical converter, I read that getting 7.1 out of it was not possible. Not sure about 1080p playba…
