> Learning to trade or invest or code or build startups is just another skill. Absolutely. I started with $2000 and doubled it many times over to pay for tuition. But I read everything I could and watched my stocks religiously. I would

I agree that they should not seem like a Hanes shop unless the goal is to get acquired by Hanes. If that were the case, I would instead focus on selling gillette manpacks and getting acquired by Proctor & Gamble (they have more money).

CC hackers rely on selling hundreds and thousands of numbers a time to make any money. It makes sense that most of their business comes from repeat customers, in which case scamming them isn't in their best interests.

Apple's open source page is as useful as having Tivo's open source code. If they won't let me code for the iphone on my pc then it's hardly useful or open.

The Windows Experience score has a lot to do with 3D Graphics. A significant difference between Windows 7 and Vista is that 7 only accepts WDDM drivers while Vista takes XDDM and WDDM drivers. This means all older video cards are not direct

ditto....I tried hotspot shield and it didn't work. It's a shame..I found some really decent songs.

Exactly! It was so tough for me to change from Opera to chrome. But chrome is much more minimal and the faster load time was enough of a killer feature for me to switch. But this version is pretty impressive.

These services are so expensive! I use jungledisk right now and it's dirt cheap compared to the rest.

This is fantastic. I guess I agree that most people don't need the latest and greatest processor - just like a car. But the faster you can run a simulation or compile code the better. It's not always just about web browsing and games on a p

I would shudder at the thought. You already have it built and have no use for the iphone development environment so there is no use to accept the hefty split in purchase price with Apple. Only positive is getting listed in the App Store. An

Check out pcfinancial.ca. Here in Canada I thought we were totally behind on just about everything the states has. That was until I tried living there. Banking in the states is so fragmented and difficult! The big banks were a nightmare to

Very happy about seeing a Cappuccino app. I can see myself using this. I'm concerned about the lack of an "export" mechanism. Being able to export to html would be ideal. At the very least, having a PDF or other universal format file that I

I disagree with everyone who commented on HN and on the guy's site. The point of asking someone about their past failure is not to put them on the spot and test their oratorical skills. It's not to see how they overcame failures and ended

I upvote to bookmark only. Unfortunately it means I don't upvote items that should be upvoted. I upvote comments though. I wish there was upvoting and stars for bookmarking.

This is a fantastic site from what I can see right away. I hope you guys can open-source this effort or package it into a ready to use cms for other clubs/organizations to use. Even if you charge for it I would be your first customer. Bravo

keep it a side gig. You won't need to invest much and can keep it limited in terms of time commitment. A basic website with what you do and your hourly rate is great. Don't start listing prices for other stuff or getting fancier description

You present 2 separate issues. The latter about moving items visually between devices in a seamless way is being worked on and I recall exists in some form. I don't remember exactly where I saw it but I'll update if I think of it. The secon

I somewhat agree but mostly not I guess. The reality is we are all using desktops which have had significantly more development hours go into them than any of the webOS desktops. They are trying to solve more than one problem but end up cre

Was YouOS flash based as well? I tried this out and it's fairly impressive. But there was some lag in using it which I suspect is because of all the Flash.

Wow! This is a fantastic service. I can't believe it's free. The 15GB alone should cost me at least 5$ a month. I hope they keep it free and look for more distribution deals ala the Opera browser model. They can make a ton of money. They're

The article misses a very important point. Carriers have very thorough certification processes. Imagine each of these companies having to certify each device. They would go bankrupt! Well maybe not, but they would not make any money to make

"When you ask for credible evidence of illegal actions, no one can point to anything" This isn't true. Taibbi's article justified every claim that was made. I read it twice because it felt more like entertainment journalism than fact the fi

Surprisingly (maybe not really) there are plenty of people who share this sentiment. This is who I thought of when I heard about Opera Unite. I figured it could appeal to some people because that space (non-cloud) is not really getting much

From what I've seen on the inside of the company I would disagree. It's more likely that feature was so low priority that it never made the bar to be looked at seriously. I'm not bad mouthing the company. On the contrary they have some of t

This feels like it has to do more with the changing culture at Google. A beta label would not have lasted this long at a company like Microsoft because the business team would not even consider it. They would have thought about the implicat
