Not really. For me, the design of the calendar is really ugly (in terms of usability not aesthetics). I can switch to the old view. But if people don't let Google know that their d…

I maybe downvoted to hell for speaking against a yc company. But I am going to say it anyway because it's downright wrong. Now that their dirty practice is out in the open. What do…

On a different note, the second Techcrunch commenter says "Reads like a high school essay. Too long. Didn't finish. Boring. Lift your game." Now this may be true or not. But this i…

Even people with very high level math knowledge fails to predict the market (remember the two noble prize scientists who failed?).Since you're out of school when you were 17, I dou…

Why is everyone a hacker these days? BTW, GWT is one option. Some JS libraries such as JQuery is another.

Look, udais is spamming HN.
