Good for anti-competitive claims MS makes. Google claims each department tries to independently make the best product available and no favors are given to google products. This is a perfect example that google's content spam does not care i

True, that is incredible that we can kick this disease pretty hard now. However the problem still stands, the only known solution is a bone marrow transplant and that requires a corpse + a 50/50 chance to die.

So the great part of this is that pretty much you can live to a ripe old age. The issue is price. If we can TREAT it for a person's life, thats great. That is no solution for a massive epidemic in Africa though where we'd be lucky to vaccin

So honestly while I am super excited about the possibility of AIDS being a fear of the past, heres my criticism: I read sometime ago that the conundrum with AIDS is that the better the immune system response, the faster it spreads. Because

People love the new "everything is social" movement (twitter, FB, etc) and now color. The problem is that people don't realize what they are exposing and the conflict of interest is that these companies want EVERYTHING exposed so they can a

I am in full support of a judge that deeply understands the issues at hand. However there is a clear conflict of interest here. The law is supposed to be impartial. I am all for judges sympathetic to the cause, but I don't want that either.

Other than awesomeness, what is most striking is that you can almost read the text on the covers of the books next to the people, which is way on the other side of the room. Pretty incredible. If only our eyes could see that well :)

Ah, finally, a way to legally upload a ton of pirated songs and share login credentials so that hundreds of people can download them without hitting up torrents and thus placing 90% of the cost onto amazon.

They do. Its just like signing a lease which indicates "no pets allowed" when everyone and their mother in the building has one, and the landlord knows. Its because if the clause is not in there and your dog is howling all night long they c

I am willing to bet good money the problem NYT faces is the same problem that www.expertsexchange.com faces (opse forgot a dash), google won't index them if you get a paywal when you are a user vs a bot. So probably the reason for the CSS h

An interesting turn of events. However a ruling on this will indicate that if sony wants to sue anyone for hardware hacking, they will have to do it in the jurisdiction of where the person lives, not where sony choses.

I must agree... Heres an sisue. 99% of the time there are no CAs for a https of a regular site that usually uses http. HOWEVER there is no problem with the certificate. What does that mean? It means that when looking at the fun little multi

What strikes me most about this story is the ATT response. True this is not wireless. 2% of users use 20% of the bandwidth, so they claim that it is only fair to charge. Which is fine. However the price mentioned is actually what really hit

There was an article on HN a few weeks ago about a guy who was selling something I don't remember. But he used to sell books. And when talking about piracy he asked the audience who did not agree with him "how many of you are fanboys/fangir

Seems like whenever there is a no-drm success and they are interviewed it is EXACTLY the same argument/story: 1) If 10,000 people will buy my X I will have sold 10,000. I will not have sold more since nobody else was willing to pay. 2) If 1

You have a valid point. However this is pointing out ignorance of developers (I being one of them) that most of the time captcha is unnecessary and annoying to UX. So yes, who would spam animoto? But you know what, now their spam filter is

Much appreciated especially for the link provided. Quite helpful. When thinking about it, for a user registration (I don't have comments) this seems pretty reasonable. Combined with a few fun tricks on the input fields this should be suffic

Still, efficiency is good. It has been a lesser known fact that the standard multi piston engine model is hugely inefficient. Apparently this not only makes it more efficient fuel wise, but it makes it more efficient weight wise (20% less w

It is true, however this is a bullshit example of loopholes of open source software. However to RH's defense I do see why they would do this. However part 2: RH is still mooching off the open source work of worldwide contributors. They need
