I don't think tiffchow said she expects to get the change she wants and I don't think Sarkeesian is presuming to tell game developers what they can or can't do. In both cases, I th…

Regarding the coffee analogy: Nothing would stop an individual from purchasing a large amount of coffee from the hippie, processing it into pods, and selling those pods through the…

That doesn't change the fact that people who bought a 3GS 2.5 years ago are still getting significant updates to the hardware. Really, what better way is there to support a product…

A few points: First, I agree with a point that others have raised regarding Siri "working" on rooted phones. Sure, it will run, but does it run well? Does it slow the phone down si…

I agree completely. Is this service farmed out to Mechanical Turk with the supposition that more eye is equal to higher quality? Or do you legitimately have qualified individuals r…

I'd love to request a copy, but the District of Columbia is not an option in the state field. I know we're not technically a state, but we're still people! I actually have this pro…

Same here. I actually have to renew my policy by September 1, so I was hoping this would be a fun experiment!

I think one of my favorite approaches is reaching out to the individuals pirating the software. Post a comment on the page explaining that you are the developer of the program. Exp…

If it weren't for Apple's pricing restrictions, I would love to see a free version of Instapaper that is "unlocked" to a full-featured version if the linked account is a paid subsc…

This is a really exciting announcement! Education is probably the most important factor in maintaining long-term competitiveness and the American system is in desperate need of imp…

Follow up post on why the study was flawed: http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/03/17/study-comparing-androi...

I haven't been to Stetson's, but I would love to see more meetups in DC proper. The fact that I live off U Street certainly helps.

Definitely interested! I also have a recommendation for future events: Post the meet up information on hackernewsdc.org as well. DC is a big government town and a lot of federal ag…

Is Verizon really launching two phones this month (Pre 2 and iPhone 4) that will be superseded by summer? That two-year contract is going to hurt.

If this is William, what relationship do you have with PostDesk? It seems peculiar to take an exchange like this and forward it to a total unknown rather than one of the larger sit…

Remember: Tumblr may not have an export feature, but Posterous has a great import feature.

Another commonly overlooked fact is that many law schools contact recent graduates who have yet to find employment and offer them brief opportunities to assist professors with rese…

I just started working on a similar project for the exact same reasons! I think your site looks good, but I would definitely try to make the Pocket logo stand out a bit more. Pocke…

I'll definitely give this one a read soon. I'm currently reading The Mote in God's Eye, which is another book that explores first contact with an alien race. I have a long ways to …

I was really impressed how well this pay-what-you-want scheme worked last year. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a viable payment option for smaller developers who have yet to a…

I'm hesitant to open this can of worms, but you are correct in thinking that 4chan is simply and imageboard. The DDoS attacks on MasterCard were actually launched by a group called…

I've lived in the District for years and was oblivious to half of this activity. I really love the new site and hope this will encourage others--like myself--to step out of the gar…

For web development, http://buildorpro.com/ is a newer option. It currently only works in Firfox, but seems to be coming together pretty nicely.
