Not smart. How could 1 device in 1 location be optimized to detect motion, video and environmental conditions. I went with the iSmartAlarm (which was an Indiegogo project from last year which uses wireless, battery powered sensors which rep

I pre-ordered one early and have been waiting for what seems like forever. Mine should be arriving in a day or so. I have a lot lower expectation than Leap seems to be espousing - as an interesting and offbeat UI device fun for developing.

Very nice but it will never gain any sort of mainstream penetration unless EVs get to at least 200 mile range or perhaps charging technology that gives you 100 miles with at most 10 minute charge. There are very few folks that can say they

I just reached the limit on my account and am just too wary of Paypal to give them access to my bank account. Guess I'll have to find other ways. I am surprised that Square didn't at least send out invites to their current customers. Funny

Google's greatest strength is that the tech press don't give a rat's ass about how they behave as a company as long as folks get free stuff.

And marketing is why Apple succeeds - don't forget that.

Anyone read the daringfireball post? Seem not. The POINT of his posting was to call out the moronic pundits for never being satisfied. At first criticizing Apple for not having a lower-priced iPhone and then in the same breath criticizing c

Obviously no one has tried the Google app (iOS at least). It is the most disorganized and slapped together application in the history of iOS. I'm still wondering how the hell anyone could seriously consider releasing this abomination.

My best advice - get into a parents group. We formed our own group from the parents attending the same childbirth class. Your local child development council should be able to help you out if necessary. It's VITAL to have a support system a

Yoru Fukurou. Yep, it's my go to client although the developer isn't big on responding to user requests and it's a bit funky for OS X UI.

What the heck is this doing here? In any case, boo hoo for Iverson. He had plenty of time to fix his life, he had plenty of examples of people before him taking the same path and ending up the same way. And the Pat Croce quote about god was

To Google you're a PGO - Profit Generating Organism. The more emails the more chance for profit.

Perhaps. I have one (I backed it on the first day) and I use it occasionally. Right now (at least with iOS) it's highly limited and is causing a huge battery drain making it impractical to use every day. However, the guys running the Pebble

An interesting article but was overly verbose. Could have said the same thing in half the space. However, a big FU to Arstechnica for prostituting the name of Apple to get more visits to the article. The headline did not need to imply that

Another favorite geek service that touted as the end of something that regular folks use. Do folks around her realize yet that we're not regular folks and our interest, desires and accommodations are often not connected at all with those of

I might agree however I've been burned twice already by Kickstarter projects. It's make me very gun shy. However, I just got my Pebble watch and I'm very pleased. Might restart my interests. I would be more willing if Kickstarter management

What state? You're not likely to get a good value from an out of state schools considering the cost. What's your GPA? If it's top of the class, then you don't have a problem. Otherwise, you'll need to look in state again. And if cost or GPA

I appear to detect a noticeable speed increase in the launching of apps on my 4s. Is that just my imagination?

Thought I couldn't be less disappointed in the Obama administration but they don't cease to fail me. I think the first new petition should be to require petitions to return to 25K threshold.

Holy schnikes. Why are we not doing it? PS. What do places without wind or sun do? Move?

What nonsense. Where does it say we can't have much more stringent gun control and also more wellness care? Funny that she's from Alaska where residents are well known for their excessive gun culture. Must be a coincidence.

This is dumb, dumb, dumb. This will surely bring the Federal Govt into the 3D printing culture. Not only will it potentially violate state laws for those states that require background checks for handgun purchasing but I can see a potential

Is there a remedial school for headline writers? Naturally it missed the Earth or we wouldn't be here. Perhaps the headline writer meant - "Billion-Ton commet MISSED Earth by perhaps a few hundred kilometers in 1883". To quote George Carlin

I'm sure you mean this in the vein of "Apple is controlling the App Store so they're evil" but in reality you should be thinking "Apple is controlling the App Store because if they didn't they would be sued over and over again by posting ad

Irrelevant. If if a renewable source is 10x less efficient than non-renewable sources, the key here is NON-RENEWABLE. We've got to take the pressure off of petroleum based fuels until such time as we come up with some alternative system - h

The Internet was vital in exposing his naive and harmful behavior. His hypocritical pronouncements and racist background would never have come to the public without it. Don't let Washington hit your ass on the way out.

May I say - Garbage. I include both the article (which saurik has pointed out) and the folks discussing it (people actually listen to podcasts of people taking about articles?) iOS 6 ad tracking is anonymous (better than iOS 5 where the UUI

Typical post of an outlier who thinks they are the typical user targeted by Apple. If anyone thinks that Apple designed the keyboard and neglected to optimize it for people writing code is a dope. I'll put the people that would never b

Is this the STUPIDEST posting on HN ever? It's much more likely that the answer to my question is YES than the posting. Anti-Apple postings are reflexively upvoted by dopes.
