Looks like they are also planning allowing developers to get early access to both the emulator and the OS image. https://twitter.com/BrandonWatson/statuses/58238479439630336

Another great use for the Tags - Summary Pages. Look at the bottom of the Tags Summary panel when you click on the "Find Tags" button. You should see a "Create Summary Page" option. It's a great way to create summary/wrapup's of meetings an

Here is the most interesting snippet for me: Facebook, for example, has been working to fashion its own variant of Android for smartphones. Executives at the social network are unhappy that Google gets to review Facebook's tweaks to Androi

Putting aside GitHub/Bitbucket, the tools for Git (and even Mercurial) suck when it comes to Windows. This is the case with both the Visual Studio and the Explorer plug-ins. It's a real shame too, because Git and Mercurial are massive impro

Thanks Luchian! If it's not too much trouble, can you provide the PSD files instead?

To be honest, the assets, revenue or the total employees of a company don't really matter in this case. Google is a relative new comer to the mobile space. All the other companies have been entrenched for a long time and have a much bigger

Second the Gandi recommendation.They mostly do one thing, be a registrar, and they do it well. There's truly no bullshit involved, as they point out in their logo.

WebSockets isn't even finished yet. What's the point complaining about the lack of a feature when it's not even ready yet? It's not like all the other browsers support it either.

Seriously? Anybody else surprised at how little data there is given how serious the accusations are? From what I've read, the general consensus seems to be that Microsoft is using IE in conjunction with the Bing toolbar to analyze user's se

Wow. This is actually great concept. A document like this, with the real-world knowledge and expertise we have here at HN? That would be one hell of a resource.

Actually, this is not true. Android OEMs have to develop their own drivers to get the various components (screen, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G radio, accelerometer, etc.) working whereas with WP7, Microsoft will provide all the device drivers.

The UI is a little messy but that's a great little app. :)

I could be totally wrong but I think the issue was that Microsoft was willing to host it (the private cloud) on-premise whereas Google wanted it in their data centers.

I agree with this. HN's user base is too small (relatively speaking) for something like this work. I think something like http://www.meetup.com/ or http://www.nerddinner.com/ would work better.
