I was discussing this with my friend the other day and she's convinced that if she didn't have overdraft 'protection' there are still certain merchants who run debit cards as credit cards which then incur an overdraft fee anyway. Has anyon

I just tested again, with measuring tape, and I can get the lock screen sliding in less than a milimeter. What device do you have?

I have a HTC Droid Incredible and I don't see the second UI lag issue whatsoever. I just tested by dragging around on the home screen, the lock screen, the SMS message list, and my Dolphin HD web browser. I have to move my finger maybe 1-

I'm not so sure... there's a lot of things I've written that, looking back a year or two later, I wish I hadn't, yet alone other people reading them too. And yet there's also value in seeing the change in someone's thoughts over time. We

I remain a mouse user except where I absolutely have to type things. I do recognize that this differentiates me from many if not most HN users :P.

I realize that this is only one person's experience, but his description of what is 'wrong' with Pandora happens to be exactly why I like it so much. His argument is that "Pandora didn’t solve the real problem – the lack of a human DJ" a
