Interesting. So close and I've never heard of them. But it's a wholesale retailer, e.g. it's targeted towards registered professional customers rather than end consumers. My point still stands, the large majority of the public does not inte

Metro AG is not a brand recognized by the public. People only know the names of its retailers. I live in an area with those stores, and if you asked any random passerbys what "Metro" is, they would come up with references to public transpor

Here's an example that I encountered a few days ago: I only had an iPad (something more and more common, keep in mind their growing popularity) and wanted to download the Song "Alfur ut ur hol" by Björk (which you can't buy in record stores

It's possible that this is not his normal work style, but that the director asked him to move the head a lot to add some action or to conform to some preconception of "what painters normally do".

I'm not trying to make you look bad, I'm just reporting my opinion. It's great that you're answering, already a big plus in my book. Private email sent.

"Most startups don't fail at building a product. They fail at acquiring customers ". I disagree, at least when it comes to me and duckduckgo (which Gabriel founded). Here's why: Three months ago, I started using ddg instead of Google. I'm q

It apparently needs the user to move to get a position lock. This will not work well with the typical use case: user is in a shopping mall, needs to go to the bathroom, wonders where the closest one is and where he is, stops walking, opens

Indeed, it dropped off the front page several times: http://hnrankings.info/4217596/ (the rank gets updated every 5 minutes, but at 11:55 and 12:20 there is no data point in the graph.) Compare it with a more typical curve: http://hnrank

Another wish to add to that: independence from any one cloud provider. So if amazon has a power failure, or Dropbox gets asked to turn off your account, or MegaCloud gets raided by your favorite 3-letter acronym, all your files are still th

If people from SL are asking themselves why it didn't grow more, here's my story: In the past 5 years, I've spent about 5 hours reading and watching videos about SL. And yet I've never once downloaded and run the client. You know why? Becau

What do you mean by "We'll start keeping a majority of funds in cold storage as deposits grow"? Are you re-investing some of the deposits, and the ones that you don't touch are in this so-called "cold storage"? If yes, what percentage do yo

The "glare handling" pictures makes me wonder why anybody would buy a portable device (=to sometimes be used outdoors) and be happy with those outrageous reflections. I mean, you can barely see the content! http://www.anandtech.com/show/60

Moderators should note that I'm commenting on a disparity between the article contents and its title. If you know that there are more pivots that's all fine and dandy, but the article only mentions 2 and that's not enough not warrant the "m

"Many"? Article only mentions 2: from life broadcasting to web broadcasting, then to twitchtv (specialized game broadcasting).

That page is very badly designed. Why is the workspace picture not shown directly below each name? I don't feel like clicking 20 times to look at 2 workspaces.

What happens if you span the desktop across the internal retina display and an external non-retina display and then move a window so that parts of it are on both displays? Is it just double size on the non-retina (which would be bad)? Or do

Wow. How many photons that bounce of the planet, travel a few lightyears and get caught in this 40m mirror are we talking about here? 1 million per night? Are we close to the limits of detection or what else is possible?

Looks nice, but that dropbox-export is not enough futureproofing for me. When I rely on something like this, I need to be sure it will keep automatically existing even if any one company goes down. In your case, I should not have to manuall

Why didn't you do a backup before using such a risky feature, or use the feature on a copy of your original files?
