The Haswell Airs came out in June and the Windows Haswell Ultrabooks were for sale beginning in August. The gap was only about 3-4 months.

It will make a difference. Your eyes can see a much wider color space than your monitor can display. By shifting colors, f.lux leaves some of the monitors color space unused, compressing the remaining colors so that some are closer together

Plus encasing every component in its own plastic capsule with high quality metal interconnects won't exactly save materials.

The Uber for Everything is called Craigslist. It's a fairly efficient market which means you can generally buy a used drill for the same price that you can sell it for.

You're using chrome on windows right? The linked URL is their mobile site and the text container has been 3dtransformed forcing grayscale antialiasing which Chrome does poorly. Check it out on Firefox or IE and you'll see what I

If it weren't for submissions like these, how could young developers that visit HN learn how to make ugly comments?

This may or may not be good advice but it has nothing to do with the article.

I don't think you read the article. "Schools should recognize the legitimacy of AAVE as a language for their students, and teach those students to recognize when and how to switch between AAVE and American English as appropriate. But most s

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is easily my favorite food blogger. I read just about everything he writes because he ALWAYS puts in this level of effort and detail. Towards the bottom of this page is his list of posts: http://www.seriouseats.com/user/

It sounds like there probably wouldn't be enough data to generate the ghost players. According to the article they depend on the skills of the individual covers. (i.e. Player X is a 35% three point shooter so don't leave him in the corner t

It was written two months ago about chips that are still the newest on the market!

Isn't it pretty obvious what happened? Microsoft built an OS for hybrid devices. ARM chips can't run legacy apps so Windows RT is DOA. Intel didn't have low-power, high performance chips ready for launch. So there are no good Windows 8 dev

It will be less than 40 points wide, but the physical size of that button is still big enough. It is the exact same size as buttons on the iPhone. You're saying that buttons on the iPad mini must be physically larger than buttons on the iPh

You're missing the point entirely. If you're concerned about the size of touch targets on the iPad mini, they are already the EXACT same size as the touch targets on an iPhone since the two share the same pixel density and recommended touch

iPhone 3GS: 160dpi iPad Mini: 163dpi iPad 2: 129dpi The iOS guidelines are 40 points for a button on all devices. So a button on an iPad mini is the same physical size as a button on an iPhone. Complaints about fixed finge

Regardless of how you meant it, it is a cheap jab. You speculated without proof that Atwood engaged in immoral behavior. That is a pretty bad thing to do.

Amazon's table is pretty shoddy, but being misleading in the other direction doesn't right the situation. There is more incorrect information in your comment than in their table. Some key points: 1. Amazon has only ever used LCD screens on

According to Amazon, 1024x768 is standard definition when in a tablet, but high definition when in a TV. Plasmas that are 720p are almost universally 1024x768 natively.

Additionally the A5x was a really expensive chip to produce. It didn't have the graphics power to drive the retina screen so they just threw silicon at it. It had twice the die size as the Tegra 3: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5685/apple

The "newest" Core 2 Quad is nearly 5 years old. A quick google search reveals that computer uses a Q6600 which is nearly 6 years old: http://www.techspot.com/review/36-intel-core2-quad-q6600/pag... That's a pretty irresponsible omission

Chromebooks just run a browser. Windows runs a browser and other things. Even if there aren't that many other things, your comment is fundamentally wrong.

They could have released this with an Atom processor at the same price. Windows RT is such a huge gamble for Microsoft. It will either sell enough copies to push developers to Metro or turn a lot of people off to Windows 8 before the "Pro"

This isn't something to count on yet when it comes to ranking well. That article says "don't expect to hide something behind JS". The good news is that individual post pages using the OP's blog engine have content in the HTML and appear to

Additionally, Chrome 22 changed the behavior of -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased so that the weight of fonts looks much different than it used to when this was enabled. It makes icon fonts look especially bad. http://code.google.com/p/

If this is true, I would wager it has the same specs as the current Nexus 7. The Tegra 3 that is currently used is printed on an out-dated 40nm process: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_3 Printing the same chip on say a 32nm or 2

Because the image is reused in the CSS, it gzips very well. The 75kb CSS file gzips to 7.3kb!

But don't completely disparage it. It saves an HTTP request to include it in the CSS. (Though typically it compresses 30% worse. For smaller images like this, that is not an issue.)
