If this happened surely the benefits would be two-edged. Ubuntu/Linux would unlock all the potential of sharing applications of Android, while Google would suddenly gain the ability to run a desktop OS on the android stack. This is obviousl

I second this, I also find myself impulsively smashing enter multiple times sometimes between commands, if I am typing in a series of commands, its just so my brain can catch up with what I want to do.

Read in some other HN comment that its just android underneath, so this would suggest that the normal apt-get route might not be an option?

The donations system is great, but I would have preferred to see a push for a community built up around free and open source software. The idea of a young person beginning to code and polishing their application and uploading and getting so

I loved this article as it clearly demonstrates Jeff's love of all hardware. There is no real hatred for any brand here, and he complements all the major devices while remaining objective. One comment I would make is regarding this, "I knew

I can't believe they upgraded the iPad to version 4? This seems like only yesterday that the iPad 3 was announced. Also Marco says at one point about the six different versions of the macbook pro for only 3 different size points. Is this a

Good article, especially the LocalForward config was new to me. One real usage that is invaluable for me, is the fact that the config is used for SVP also. This saves a lot of typing. With a key based login set up, copying files to a server

What I mean is I may use the same picture for a number of services i.e Twitter, Facebook, and that same picture might also be my Gravatar. If I had added the Gravatar a while back, and had forgotten about it, it would look like the service

Someones Gravatar could easily be a profile picture that they use in a lot of places no?

The thing I found a little jarring about this, is that if you are not registered for gosquared, it still can get a gravatar you have registered on gravatar. Despite me not being registered, entering my email, it is as if they already have i

Not sure whether they should mimic GUI tools, however having tools which provide a graphical user interface, but are fully functional (or at least as much as is possible) from the CLI is the ideal way for a program to be in my opinion. Wher

Are these boards common in America or elsewhere. Here in Dublin, Ireland I have seen perhaps one long board in my life. Is there a certain terrain or area which suits these boards or are they good for any urban street type scenario. At that

I know that this is only for iOS but I would definitely sit through a few ads, if they were to improve the quality of the youtube application for android. 1. I need to be able to leave it in the background and for the video to still play. 2

Thats not what I'm saying nor am I criticizing him for it. From prior experience, when I make something I can use on a daily basis, I would find it hard to use something different. Also being an advocate for open source software would make

I completely agree, I have just read that Icaza was awarded the "Advancement of Open Source Software" a while back. I'm just curious as someone who has made such commitments to the open source and also to the Linux eco system, can use anoth

This is slightly off topic, but I don't really understand Miguel de Icaza. He is a "free software programmer" according to Wikipedia, and I really value his contributions to both the GNOME and MONO projects. I am not trying to in anyway put

Does the ratio of users to repositories seem strange to anyone else? This to me looks like each user has around 1.5 repositories. This seems quite small? On average most accounts I've seen have far more than 1 and a half repositories.

Perhaps they are talking about the mobile application, but what is the section on their home site named "Apps That Kik", that seems like an advertisement for those applications. Perhaps they are applications which their company also produce

My only problem with split articles like this is when reading with Pocket(Read it later) I end up having to follow the rest of the links and add them individually. Give me the offer of a full page article please.

My idea with the smartphone is that if the content is available why not just stream it rather than have it as an augmented reality experience. In every way I see the phone being a more whole and fulfilling experience in this case.

I'm not really sure I see the advantage of the glasses over an ordinary smartphone for the stadium scenario. I am not missing anything by doing it on the phone due to the fact that the augmented reality of the replay is already taking up mo
