   I came over from Reddit this last month, the number of memes just become too much for me.

   I was going to suggest email, but it looks as if they've already fixed it.

   How far off is that from the deep net? It's all based on tor (and as such is slow as molasses), but it's navigated by passing links to community members - not searching Google. That's pretty darn underground.

   I noticed they added the yellow highlight to the currently opened item, and it makes it really hard for me to concentrate on the article I have open. I liked the design revamp, but that little highlight they added a few days ago throws me.

   Different TLDs have different values. I'm more likely to trust a site with a .edu TLD than .tk or .info. Google also uses TLDs in their search rankings. I'm not saying .xxx will have value, just that not all TLDs are made equally.

   This is a silly movement. Flash isn't going anywhere, and there's no reason for it to. "HTML5" isn't finalized, well supported, and is (in my experience) almost always slower than the equivalent Flash code. Flash is supposedly bringing f

   Good catch, though there were definitely apps on the first iPhone. AppTapp/Installer was introduced around Christmas time if memory serves, and there were apps, utilities, and even a few games available.

   Good point, and I understand legal names aren't always conventional. By real I mean the name a teacher would call you in school. Not a nickname or pseudonym.

   Ah yes, and AT&T miraculously improved their network when the iPhone 4S came out.

    I think having downvotes public is an intersting idea. It would certainly force people to justify their downvotes, anyway.

    Here is how I see it: The first wave are the tech enthusiasts, these people are not big app buyers but are interested in finding a good SSH tool, or an mail client that supports PGP. These were the main customers of the first iPhone. I'd s

    Hewitt has doing some punditry himself lately. Interesting reads, he seems to believe that the open web doesn't have enough direction and will fall to apps unless somebody takes the reigns. He developed much of Firebug and worked at Facebo

    Do you think it's beneficial to your browsing experience that your friends are able to use fake names? Genuine question. I know personally I would prefer my friends to stick to real names and avoid ASCII art, cute nicknames and such. But

    "that's why the news of Michael Jackson's death caused Twitter and even Google to crash" Google did not crash, an automated system blocked the queries as they looked like spam.

    I'm looking forward to reading the Isaacson biography, but I will put on my skeptical spectacles. Thanks for the great comment, it's good to see both sides to things.

    I read each post by Gruber (and he writes a lot), but I can't help but feel like the guy is stuck in some world where Apple is still fighting "the man" and trying to free us, and yet in reality Apple has become the man. I don't mean to spe
