   This looks great. If I hadn't migrated from iTunes to Spotify, I would definitely try it out.

   I've tried both and Rdio definitely has much better discovery features, but I settled on Spotify for 2 reasons: 1. The ability to mix in my own music. There is still plenty of music unavailable to these streaming services, so I need to be a

   This seems to assume that Facebook is just going to be sitting on their hands and watching from the sidelines... Google+ seems very nice, but from an average user's perspective, does it offer enough benefit to warrant moving away from where

   I add articles from my iPhone all the time, but rarely through Safari. The vast majority of my articles come from apps that have Instapaper built in, such as Twitter and Alien Blue. This is one advantage that Instapaper has, although I woul

    Same here - no problems at all. And ever since Sparrow came out, I barely ever open the Gmail web interface.

    I couldn't disagree more. I had the hardest time switching over to Vim because there is such a high learning curve, but once it "clicked", I could never back. Sometimes I'll have to do some .Net work in Visual Studio and I feel like I just

    From what I can tell, there is no option - any type of outside subscription or content that can be accessed through an iOS app must also be offered as an app store subscription or in-app purchase (with the 30% cut). This means that books on

    "Runner's High" is something I often hear about, but still have trouble fathoming. Whenever I'm running, all I can think about is how boring it is and how I want to stop. (and it's not because I can't do it - I'm in pretty good shape and co

    I actually think it's great that the term has caught on. If people were to talk about "next update to the W3C standard" or about the features individually, it wouldn't be getting nearly as much press as it does. And with the increased pre

    I bought a protective skin for mine (which I was going to buy anyway) and, as a side effect, it prevents the antenna issue. It's also barely noticeable. I got mine from BodyGuardz, but I think there are a few companies who make them. Just

    It seems to me that Apple really doesn't care all that much about the iPhone's browser performance. Anything that presents a good alternative to the App Store universe is not in Apple's best interest.

    I've been consulting (as a software developer) for a large home-building company for a while now and this experience has given me quite a few ideas and insight related to your #1. I'd be curious to hear you elaborate on this a bit more. Bi

    I'm just trying it out in Windows for the first time (on my work PC) and I realize that it works a little better on my Mac. On the mac version of Chrome, when you click on a link within the extension popup, it opens up a new tab in the back

    I agree that the numbers are pretty useless, but I decided to keep them to match the Hacker News theme. Maybe in the future, I'll add a second theme and let you choose between them in the options. Thanks for your input.

    I would love to do something like that, but I don't think Hacker News provides any sort of API for accomplishing this. I'll look into it, though. Thanks!
