Primarily because the first sensationalist article may very well be both the way Apple found out about this app and the very reason they had to clamp down on it - if <conservative parent> sees that gizmodo headline taken up elsewher

A interesting essay. Given there was a bit much introductory praise, I'll excerpt the crux of his criticism: "In short, complaining about the quality of Google’s scans distracts us from a much larger problem with Google Books. The real prob

Not only that, but while there may or may not be enough evidence at large to support his claim w.r.t. mandatory life without parole, it certainly cannot be derived purely from the fact that some past murderers have since been released on pa

Given the global pushback against ISPs from the content industry and assertions they're knowingly profiting at the expense of content - including various threats of legal or legislative action - do you really believe any of them would let y

I'm not sure the website is that well made in the first place. The results of Ctrl+A amused me.

Actually, this seems like a terrible visualization because it's taken out of context, and was originally presented in a magazine. You can see where the article text would go, the United States label is hidden away near the binding and far i

This is not accurate - the modding in question in the article specifically only allows the playing of "backups" but still requires the game to be signed. It has to be a copy of a legitimate game. There are ways to modify the console to run

Yeah, the direct comparison in the title and opening paragraph seems to be pure SEO, as the reasoning behind Rackspace > AWS is never elaborated on at all.

You could easily have phrased that to avoid coming across as reverse psychology - "Since when is HN so defensive of <bigco policy> and shareholder interests at the detriment of users" etc - as a few other posts in this thread have d

Sorry, didn't really mean to imply it was intentional, i know these things get lost 'in the tubes' (although I did actually miss the source tagging the first time) - regardless, I stand by my post in support of Letters of note!

This looks like a direct no-attribution repost from Letters of Note (sept. 28 post, recently re-popularized): http://www.lettersofnote.com/2009/09/i-leave-it-in-your-capa... Letters of Note is a fantastic site, and there are several other

I pretty much agree fully with this article. I briefly considered putting myself to work on a few iphone app ideas, and each time was put off by the terrible things I heard about the entire process. Well, as the owner of a 3G, I was plannin

In what way are credits less confusing for users? If anything I would label them as more confusing, as they're a level of abstraction on top of money. They can make good business sense, certainly, as you'd rather hold on to the customer's l
