This may be a little OT... but if you want to win me over on a geek focused device... i.e. power users... 3000mAh battery minimum. I know it's not the core intent but personally that grabs my attention as a power user just as much.

Interesting concept but I am concerned about using multi-touch to select devices. First off it's hard to remember, and secondly, if I am missing a finger, I can't set the air-flow rate in my car? Also the differentiation between

I have been watching this since I could catch it as a teenager on SuperChannel in the early 80's. The entire trilogy are still among my favourite films.

Sadly one has to bring a gun to a duel, because if you are going to wait for gun lobbying to stop your duel, you're probably going to get shot in the meantime. Not that lobbying isn't good in the long run, but you still need prote

Of the three initial examples, only Bing marked the Atlantic Ocean. At least they had that detail. (though they do have a road running right through the airport... win some, lose some)

In my case I don't work at a desk many days... I am walking around most of the day with my phone in a hip holster. During these days I am getting client emails and system alerts and Pebble saves me from pulling my phone out about 40 t

I had a Pebble bought for me as a gift and I have to admit, while I'm a technophile I did think it was gimmicky. Count me as reformed; I fell in love with the Pebble quickly. Now I won't try to tell anyone that it is a do-all dev

Interesting... I thought the consensus was that these sounds weren't possible to create / detect on typical hardware according to recent discussions about mystery malware spreading through the air? I wonder what percentage of sys

Win 7 here, Latest FireFox, LCD monitor at 1680x1050. Just looks blurry to me, but by comparison reading HN (or dozens of other sites today) hasn't been an issue.. nice and sharp. Don't think it's a case of PEBKAC... but ma

Is it just me or is the OP's page font very difficult to read? On my system it seems low contrast and blurry, almost out of focus. I had to abandon reading the post by the 3rd paragraph, ironically because my eyes couldn't handl

There is no such thing as being "too early" to market. That is how you cut your teeth, learn and get ahead. You fail when you give up on the idea (or are proven that it will never catch on... either way). However if you create

I have to play devil's advocate here: I finally have enough bandwidth for my server, so now that it's working I should reduce it. This makes sense? You've said that now it's working we should start to take it away? I f

Same here, in Firefox the instructions disappeared on load. Had to experiment to see what it did. Cool otherwise.

Too bad, I liked their Android player as well. One of the few pieces of software I have used continuously for... oi... longer than I care to admit. Makes me sad.

Take a look at the Moto X... go put one in your hands. It has a different form factor and it feels much smaller than it is. Holding it I was (and still am) strongly tempted to move off my Nexus devices, and being so close to Google I am h

Let me give you an alternate use case beyond the upgrade-ability. I see the advantages of this more-so in day to day use. I use my phone in several different environments and to that end right now I have multiple phones because of the lim

Looking closely at the top photo it looks like they have differently shaped Exo's as well. One appears to be much wider, where the other is more iPhone 5 shaped.

On reading the title my mind immediately went to the Nic Cage movie "Knowing". Someone needs to check if their process has a finite limit.

That statement gets used a lot to downplay the concept of a stylus, and in that context it is flatly incorrect to be blunt. Viewing it that ways makes the assumption that you intent to use a stylus as a finger replacement. The finger and

As a CF developer (among many other languages) for bordering 15 years now I have come to accept the blanket rejection of the platform. I had to smile at the stats above because I have to wonder if the number of people who have marked &quot

Anyone else finding the text of the article really hard to read? On my screen it looks like out-of-focus grey text and I can feel the eye strain. I had to highlight it all to be able to read it easily. Just an FYI in case the OP reads t

BingItOn.com down for certain users? Just tried to open it here and it just bounces me to Bing. I have tried it in the past so something has changed or they have narrowed the focus market.

On initial blush I am so far impressed. Sync pulled over all my add-ons and Firefox info and it is definitely quicker at rendering large tables (my one notable speed complaint with Firefox vs. Chrome). With everything working via Sync I&#

A Simpsons' quote is also probably directed a little more towards the humour end of the scale.
