Personally, I think Google is doing the right thing here. If this secondary phone OS really does contain a lot of Android frameworks, as they claim, then I think Google is right to…

My understanding, outside of corporate spin: Google is essentially preventing Acer and others that benefit from OHA to do any work with the likes of Amazon and Alibaba that use an …

First no one appointed you as a judge of "real books" or not, but he read FIVE books on a vacation. Four of them are related to today's world and highly relevant for us and especia…

Dude, if Apple is liked and their brand loved even more, that $xxx million spent on solar there is nothing, even if it's declared a total loss. So, in theory, you can be a total ca…

As someone said, these are bright people and will probably make it, if not they can still go back to college. But for 99.99% of "smart people," college is probably the best bet. Ev…

Not necessarily, it could very well be a PR trick. Going solar is trendy so they may have done it to get some press. It pays off but maybe in extra iPhone sales /brand building

Who cares why he made it? The internet is full of videos and posts mocking Jesus, Buddha and virtually every sect or religion or lack of religion out there. Also people mock fat pe…

The estimated cost projections for the bullet train project keep getting bigger. I've seen estimates as high as $68 billion Wait until it starts, it will at least double the initia…

Suffering from hypothermia? Many are enterprise users, and this can mean a strike against Google Apps. Many of them stick with XP because it works great for their purpose and many …

"I suspect your comment will seem obviously wrong in five years." I suspect your comment too will seem obviously wrong in sixty-five years. Geez

The carriers are also dying for a third major OS, but time will tell. Maybe the features Apple left out aren't as loved by common people as bloggers make them seem. Personally I'd …

Google needs to be harder on these manufacturers for the good of the consumers, the ecosystem, and ultimately the manufacturers as well. What will the "Android ecosystem" become if…

Acer sells in US and prob in EU too.

If my guess is right and "Aliyun" is an Android fork, then cry me a river -- if Acer wants to sell an official Android device they shouldn't expect to make money selling gray marke…

I think he is looking for the next Zuckenberg to say: "give me $50k and here's 25% [of the next Facebook]. What, we need to incorporate?" but YC has done the initial steps.

Hi James, http://searchengineland.com/figz/wp-content/seloads/2012/01/... http://www.torymcbroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/google... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=447650…

"facebook integrated - no thank you apple, we want privacy" Who's we? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_statistics Personally I use it on a separate browser but wanted to point…

Looks pretty cool to me. As for specs some people love: I don't care much, provided everything works smoothly and seamlessly. (Fine tuning Apache and MySQL has saved me tons of cas…

Why? Or just because 10MP has more pixels than a 7MP one? I doubt people could tell the difference between 7 million and 10 million pixels, unless you want to put it on a billboard…

Not really, he's giving YC a lot of backhanded compliments

Oh, and how much net profit has Android yielded Google? Android has cost billions but what if Apple and Microsoft shared the mobile market and replaced the default SE with Bing or …

or if they realize that the product/company will not become as successful as they though it would be. I'd put my money on this one ^^, if I had to choose. If growth is 50% month to…

But they have less cars, to take an example. Dead is dead was my point and in whatever country you live, you will deal with the cars, lions, tundra or whatever.

Life expectancy is not entirely medical and is not a particularly good way to compare countries. Consider that among the top causes of death in the US are "accidents" (predominantl…
