There's clearly something fishy about the video if only because we're obviously coming in half way through whatever happened. But the real problem isn't the behavior of the soldiers as much as it's the military not making it's case before

I'm not even sure it'll get an update. They'd only sold 75 as of the end of February and only 12 of those in the month of February itself (it went on sale at the beginning of January and the iPad was announced at the end of January). I fin

They added a video with a little 4 minute mini-review. It looks decent but not really polished. The accelerometer doesn't show the screen turn for example it just goes black and then comes back on reoriented. It also seemed like it was a

Commas can be used to indicate a pause in speech. Read it that way and the sentence doesn't necessarily sound incorrect (the obvious purpose being to put emphasis on the word "Now") I don't see anything wrong with the so-called "12-year-ol

Are there a lot of people who think getting an expensive MBA degree is worth something in the startup world? I'd never heard anything but the opposite until reading this article and now I'm wondering if there's some segment of the populati

I'm not sure how I feel about the first claim (having just read the article) but the author misses the point. Whether it sends the information to Google or Bing it's still the violation of privacy is the fact that everything you type is be

The average Romanian programmer makes $646 per month ( http://www.worldsalaries.org/romania.shtml ) or around $16.65 an hour. I don't know what experience you could have that tells you prices converge because that's just not the case (and

I agree with your points but wanted to put special attention on 1 & 2 because I've found those to be the most important in my own experience. Generally what I do is to make a class diagram and then hand it to an outsourced coder to crea

Just to add one point to this. Back in February this article was published: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/techchron/detail?entry_i... In it the founder said "Fusion Garage will beat Apple to market and will benefit from the awarene

The question really isn't whether 100 miles would be fine most days it's what happens when you get stuck in traffic or you have to drive somewhere unexpected for an emergency. Without the ability to quickly stop at a gas station to refuel

But the Volt has a backup in that it can run on Gas. I just don't see there being a large market for a purely electric car (at least not until there are widespread charging stations). Plus, and maybe it's just me but if a person is willing

I'm sorry but this has absolutely no content. The title of the article tells you everything in it's content and all of that information is stuff we already knew. We know Apple is going to release a new iPhone because they do so every summe

I've recently read a good book that I think is insightful here. It was written by a Bush Administration official and is called "How the CIA Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama is Inviting the Next Attack." No matter how you feel about t

In this case it would fall under the "court order/legal requirement". The article in the opening paragraph of the story actually leads to a Fox News story from 2006 about Air America declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Under Chapter 11 they w

This is why I've never put much stock in the TIOBE index. If you're honestly trying to tell me Google Go has nearly half the developer support that Objective-C does (.921% to 1.970%) I'm officially calling you a fool.

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you posted it. I think a big part of me is just thinking "If he's a total crook and I lose the $155 completely it's really not that big of a deal". I mean, he takes Paypal so I don't even have to give my CCar

I think you're being a little unfair. It's screen is bigger than the iPod Touch and it's cheaper. If you, for example, were a developer who wanted to build an open platform iPod competitor this would be a good starting point. And let me j

I don't see anything overtly wrong in that thread. If anything I see HN readers behaving badly by taking advantage of someone whose English isn't that great. For the most part the things people were attacking him for are things that almos

I've found the 10 hour day concept (or 4/40 as it's called in HR circles) to have unintended negative consequences for both sides of the equation. On the side of the employer it's just as you say: employees who are less productive because

The post is basically suggesting you take your unproductive time (at the end of your day when you are tired) and shift it on to your employer while taking your most productive time (when you first wake up) and keeping it for yourself. I'm n

I don't think that has the impact that you think it does. I'm not saying I believe this now but the one of the first things I learned in life is that rich people will lie to you. They feel guilty about being where they are so they'll tell

This is the what society sells people who are in the upper middle or just plain upper classes. I grew up poor and my parents taught me to work hard, keep my head down and hope for the best. No one ever promised me an outcome and I never e
