And that's just it: cable has already turned into a commoditized dumb pipe for a large segment of the population. Instead of recognizing this new reality and adjusting to it, the cable industry seems intent on sticking its collective head

Maybe the folks at HBO are brilliant; maybe they aren't. That's besides the point. The point is that companies like HBO are probably leaving money on the table. There are a lot of folks who are willing to pay to watch Game of Thrones, ass

Same here. I usually don't come back to sites that do this. Plus, I find it ironic that a site called "500px" requires me to scroll horizontally on a 1024px browser window. =)

I'm particularly interested to see how the airlines react to the re-emergence of ITA and its new airline platform. For years, airlines have essentially had one choice in reservation systems: Sabre. Sure, there are other systems, but none of

It's worth noting that there will be an announcement when do you so, which I presume is audible to both parties on the call.

"Save Hollywood," eh? As if SOPA will actually achieve any of its purported goals? As if there's any saving Hollywood needs except from itself? I'm all for encouraging folks to fight SOPA, but perhaps we could save our up-votes for articles

A similar claim could easily be made here regarding Topolsky's post, along the lines of: "For someone who makes his living as a journalist, Topolsky should be more aware of "checking in" regarding MG's viewpoint. For example: 'It seems like

This is one of the problems with text-based communication. While I personally don't understand how Topolsky translates MG's automotive analogy into "class warfare," these types of misunderstandings are common when people aren't having a rea

I believe the title is accurate. As with their last post regarding the death of mobile Flash, Adobe seems to have an unfortunate penchant for ambiguous language. Rather than just coming out and saying that they are putting Flex out to pastu

Hehe... Thanks for catching my error. That should have read: "1 MB" or "1024 KB".

Swiffy can't handle files input SWF files larger than 1024 MB and will display an error to that effect if you try. It might be more user-friendly if that fact were displayed on the file upload page. Just a suggestion!

Excellent work. Can you imagine how amazing it would be if there were a tool that allowed us to convert/output all our images as CSS/SVG/etc instead of bitmaps? I, for one, look forward to the day when the only static assets we have to worr

For those on Mac OS X 10.7 with Safari and who are seeing a message saying that your browser doesn't support WebGL, that's only because WebGL isn't enabled by default. You can turn it on by first going to Safari Preferences > Advanced a

It doesn't have to go anywhere soon in order to die a slow, painful death. Moreover, it's a question of one's social circles. In my case, it hardly matters what the worldwide share looks like since nearly everyone I currently text has an iP

What's sad is the absurd claim that Apple customers believe that getting more for the same price is a bad thing. As for the next point, whether providing alternative DVCS access leads to greater fixed infrastructure costs or not, that seems

A grid of icons with text underneath is considered *ripping off* Apple now? Are you serious? As I said in another comment here: It's not just the app icon layout. It should be obvious to any casual observer just how

It's not just the app icon layout. It should be obvious to any casual observer just how many things Samsung copied: the highlighting on the bottom row of icons, the dots that represent different pages of apps, the overall aesthetics of the

Did Samsung add voice control and speech-to-text functions, or is that part of the Android OS that Google provides Samsung for free? While I don't have any need for HDMI output on my phone, I applaud Samsung's efforts to add differentiating

From an ethical perspective, I find Samsung's inability to innovate and subsequent willingness to carbon-copy the iPhone and iPad to be reprehensible and wrong. It's sad that Samsung seemingly can't come up with much original on their own.

Okay, I'll bite. Here you go: "Initial Tests Show Slow Nginx SSL Performance" Wasn't that hard, was it?

Speaking of fairness, how do you conclude that Ben is sniping at people for not using DHE? I've re-read his comment multiple times, and I don't see that in there at all -- explicitly or implicitly.

As far as I can tell, saying "Nginx sucks at SSL" is actually not debatable and is indeed just plain wrong. Yes, the default SSL config uses a cipher that is, relatively speaking, more computationally expensive than others. That doesn't mea

I found both posts informative, and yet I'm with cbetz on this one. The issue isn't whether Matt's first post was informative but is instead whether it was fair|wise|necessary to say "Nginx sucks at SSL" instead of, say, "My initial testing

Absolutely. I'm already half-way done writing an article on Archipel, and I'll be sure it gets posted to HN when it's ready. As an aside, Antoine (the author of Archipel) just told me that beta 3 will be released next week, after which he'l

In our experience, vSphere is indeed too expensive relative to the value it provides. We ended up much better off implementing a KVM-virtualized cluster that cost us nothing in licensing, allows us to keep Windows out of our cluster entirel

We were faced with a very similar dilemma when we set up our virtualized cluster... Do we go with a free open-source solution like KVM, forgoing an easy-to-use GUI, or do we go with a more expensive solution such as VMware? We eventually de

The article says the animated background diagonal stripes are visible in WebKit-based browsers, but I'm not seeing them in Safari 5.0.5 -- just in case that's of interest to the devs and perhaps to other folks as well.

According to Apple, your Mini isn't supported under Lion: "Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion." I have a Core Duo-powered Mini and am in the same boat. That said, my Mini is at l

Windows Phone 7 is... 1.0? While I believe the WP7 team does indeed deserve credit for overcoming all the entanglements endemic to Microsoft's current bureaucratic mess, I think it's a bit silly to call this a 1.0 product. Even if the WP7 s
