This makes my heart flutter with anxious optimism.

Sorry I shouldn't have capitalized random words. I was excited to post something that's been spinning around in my head for a while.

I'm really glad that Blackberry finally came up on HN because there's something I've been interested to get feedback about on here. I feel like a large section of the developer com…

Your logic is spot-on. It seems like so many young intelligent people would question the opportunity cost of all that time lost versus the gain of having the iPhone a few days earl…

This could be a very revolutionary way to port flash to the IPad. There seems like an enormous value potential for that if it works well.

You're assuming that Wikipedia is entirely correct, perhaps a risky assumption to second guess the president on.

I don't understand why everyone is up voting this? Is the fact that something similar happened before supposed to alleviate our concerns about the fact that it's happening now? The…

Where is the public outrage over this? When a government cannot pass a bill due to overwhelming public opposition, using an alternate means such as a treaty like this is policy lau…

Agreed. It represents a trending technology use in mainstream culture. It's these kinds of little events that can lead to brilliant start up ideas. Let's stop being such pretentiou…

What does everyone think the timeframe will be for this to hit mainstream news? I feel like it must be soon.

I think this is a brilliant. You know how many goofy girlfriends there are out there who would find this to be a unique, funny, yet functional gift for their boyfriends? Lots.

This really is a great idea. I think this style of cloud cracking might have larger applications as well, outside of just PSK. Inexperienced users will pay to crack systems like th…
