   There's also the money you save but not stepping foot in a store. That is, you don't throw extra items in your cart out of temptation.

   For starters the software doesn't crush your machine as iTunes does to Windows. Second of all, the physical player doesn't magically get a 'corrupted OS' or 'unhappy folder face' problem once a year - requiring trips to the Genius Bar. The

   I've repeatedly considered building a HN Google+ scraper that grabs the text from Google Plus stuff and throws it onto a more readable cache that won't be blocked by work filters as social networking. However I'm a little worried about stea

    Ultimately the economics of a desktop just work better. You can build an i5-2500k, 8gb ram, 1 tb hdd, gaming caliber video card machine for $600. Rather than buying a $2500 macbook pro, you can get a gaming desktop with a 30" display, and a

    What exactly qualifies as "leading NoSQL database company" ? I've been lazily waiting for a NoSQL solution to be deemed 'the winner' by the tech community. Then I won't waste time learning the 'wrong one'.

    Seriously disappointing, 2gb ram in a $1000 laptop? How much more could bumping that for 4 actually cost them, $15? 4gb ram/256gb hd was expected to be the new base, not the ceiling. Guess I'll have to wait on the other 'ultrabooks'

    You seem to imply the employees have access to the password as was discussed above at length. This has not been proven. My passwords are unique - If my newegg password is compromised I supposed people can order some computer parts and ship

    If I'm on a work computer I can't access my email. If I'm on an untrusted (potentially keylogging) computer, I don't want to type my email password - but I may not care about the security of my Pandora password. I think the process is defau

    I was recruited and then rejected : ) To be fair the recruiter said it was a generic interview - I spent the week studying data structures & algorithms. And then I get on the phone and the entire interview was on JavaScript and how to
