    This is the "smart" guy trying to save the world type of thinking. See what Steve Jobs said in his 1996 interview: ".... When you're young, you look at television and think, There'…

    He is obsessed with "being open" - that's the only "point", all other people are "missing the point". Ask the phone users, TV users, ... do they care? They didn't miss any point, t…

    I didn't read the terms, so I don't know. But a fair system should be that the App owner should decide what ad network to use within its app. The argument that Google doesn't allow…

    The guy's main point is that you should decide which girl you are: the "Consequentialist" (relativist), or the "Categoricalist" (absolutist). He said: "... I find it helpful, befor…

    Ask HN: Apple buy Yahoo?

    I don't mean to sensationalize this. After all, Microsoft tried seriously to buy Yahoo in order to counter Google. Now Apple is in the same position vs Google. Could this be played…
