This is the SECOND time this has happened. And on both occasions no information was given to customers about what happened, what was fixed and whether it would happen again. The on…

IDEs have flagged and/or auto-corrected unused imports/variables for well over a decade now. And the issues with library dependencies/compile times generally only exist for large p…

Interesting point. And not just Chrome but Opera. That said they may just go with WebKit for iOS + Blink for everything else. Should make testing fun for everyone.

Except speculators and day traders.

Would it not make more sense to criticise Ive until AFTER you've seen a screenshot ?

which is fine, though I hope they realize this Quick ! You better let those crazy executives know what they are doing. Especially that former senior executive from a company (Googl…

Says Wikipedia for a start. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropbox_(service) If you don't agree with the history then feel free to update Wikipedia. But of course I doubt it would la…

The big problem for me with Google services is the unnecessary and unwanted integration with Google+. I couldn't sign up for a YouTube account without creating a Google+ account wi…

Why is it odd ? On Facebook you deliberately only share what you want others to see. Emails and web searches in particular can be pretty incriminating if made public.

Which paid solutions exist ? And there is a distinction here. Feedly exists because of feeds and hence are in the same camp as Dropbox, Evernote, LogMeIn and other companies that e…

There's also work involved. I have hundreds of Starred articles that I will have to write a script to move to whatever service I end up using.

I think Tesla is great apart from Musk's childish overreactions (which many people don't like). But I was just wondering where this nonsense 1.5 billion revenue came from ?

It is ? For 2012 they had revenue of $413 million at a loss of $396 million.

You know what else "sold out". Palm Pre. Microsoft Surface. Nexus Q. Blackberry Playbook. How are those doing ?

No. These are just the equivalent of "dick and fart" jokes. Something only a 5 year old would find funny.

Why do you need me ? I am just that crazy troll who believes that no database is perfect for all use cases and that making blind generalisations like "all NoSQL is bad" is stupid. …

As interesting as this is do we really need to discuss this on HN ?

The funds transfer/settlement for credit cards can be as short as a few hours as some banks offer same day settlement. And you are being a bit disingenuous with the fraud vulnerabi…

Apart from Maps which is going to be interesting the rest of the Google Suite is easily replaceable.

Who cares about the qualification. Your entire premise is just ridiculous. You can't just take your single data point (my close friends aren't on Facebook) and then extrapolate it …

There is no evidence that Go delivers projects quicker than Java. And Go being so early in its life obviously lacks the wide array of third party libraries that Java does.

Apple uses both Cassandra and Hadoop internally. And this NIH mentality you've invented is simply not true. You are just confused and probably need to lie down for a bit.

With RSS I often get the entire content or at minimum a decent sized summary with lots of photos. Twitter has none of that.

There are a number of reasons why Oracle dominates the enterprise and will forever remain so. One. The products are well understood. Not just from a technical perspective but opera…

What exactly are you implying ?
