Very fun to cruise around the world and see what areas are boiling over with opportunities. Perhaps unsurprisingly San Fran, London and NYC were my winners.

I use it often and its performance is acceptable by my standards. I do have LTE though.

Can anyone explain why an ISP would push back Netflix installing one of these boxes? Does the ISP want Netflix service congestion to better sell its own media assets/distribution (i.e. cable TV)?

Depends on your requirements but the web version of gmaps may suffice

I was under the impression that this was Jeff's own side-project and he had no intention of integration with Amazon

Why bother attacking the comcast techs? These guys are just trying to make a living. The real problems come from well above

Agreed. Big win on the microSD. They are also becoming very affordable, especially < 32GB

Ah, I didn't know about the duplicate URL rule. That makes more sense. I've been here for quite a while and I haven't noticed such an aggressive advance before. So it triggered an alarm. Maybe I'll start seeing it more o

Yeah, it does appear to a hot topic. Still, the post was <10m old and #1 with 0 comments. Seems either extremely overhyped or artificial to me.

How did this float to the top of my front page so quickly. Are we all genuinely _that_ interested in new AWS products? or did this post receive some "extra" help

And once they have the cash from an IPO, where do they go from there? The problem is much more complex than you're suggesting

Just read The Submarine for the first time. For those who haven't, it's well worth it. Very enlightening. Still very relevant today seeing how it was written in 2006

From my experience the ability to sideload android apps is a major motivator for android users wanting to make the switch over to BB10. I'm a bit of a BB nerd, but I see this conversation come up again and again in online discussions

Playing the devils advocate here: I'd imagine even a superstar takes on a sizeable amount of risk when they oppose a large and powerful organization (i.e. NSA). An individual is an easy target regardless of wealth, no? I think a wealth

Unless I sign in using social media I can only upload files up to 10MB in size. Frankly, that's terrible

It's a pretty big fan. Also, the cylindrical design certainly helps airflow

Agreed. The post reads like a honeymoon. I hope the author writes about his experiences a month/year after

This article seems to appeal to the emotions of the reader. It's nice to hear that Harvard grads aren't all they're cracked up to me... but I'd like more examples/proof

Is that not what Apple did with the iPod and iTunes? I don't see a problem with that statement

There was a great slide show posted here a while back that explained the theory being rooting android, but for the life of me I cannot find it. Google "Android rooting theory" and you'll get a set of fairly rich results. For

They don't have to say CDN explicitly. They can simply say Netflix or Hulu. For example, "Dear valued customer. The recent slow down of your Netflix service is the result of an issue with Netflix servers. ISP_X service is fully fu

Too risky, no? If Comcast said the problem was not with their network, but with bit CDNs. Customers would shift their rage towards them instead. The whole thing would turn into a PR pissing match

I think you're being slightly overdramatic. I too wish that Google was more transparent with how they farm our data. But you do have a choice to stop using their products you know

Imagine how different mankind would be today if our ancestors were barred from using boats. Colonialism probably would never have happened.

I enjoyed the anecdote but the piece read as a drunken boast.

Agreed. But I'd like to point out it's not not clear whether the insane amount of location requests is a "feature" or bug. In the thread OP linked to, other users reported Swype acting as expected (i.e. few to no locatio
