Hey nichodges -- I'd love a beta account for kindred.it. I've been seriously wanting something like that ever since I got a Kindle a few years ago and am completely amazed that what Amazon offers in terms of highlight management is so extr

Yeah impressive. I'm on a windows machine and find the windows explorer, and especially "search" to basically be broken. I have so little confidence in the search that I avoid it at nearly any cost. I find that it was much better on Wind

I'm curious what your overall point is? The purpose of new innovations is to improve something. It's possible that in the very short term something like wouldn't be the most cost effective thing, however it's not about the very short term,

A horse [and buggy] and a car are in the same product category as well. Point: Everything can be generalized to the point of it seeming mundane.

Odd, I played with the Surface yesterday and the device I used was much different than the one described here. I have an iPad (and love it in many ways), however found the Surface fairly refreshing in several ways. For one: I find that I

I think everyone is getting stuck on the design decision concerning the start menu. Windows 8 is more than just a new start menu. There are a number of other changes that I believe sound very interesting, and are very much PC innovations

The horse and buggy worked so well in the past, why introduce automobiles? (Note: Example with exaggerated contrast is used here for illustration purposes only, not for comparing size of change.)

>> Exacerbating this is the fact that Windows 7 is arguably at full stride right now and has almost no points that I really want changed. Sounds like another anti-innovation/change comment on hn. If this is not, please tell me how?

There's a 3rd category: non-fiction that doesn't necessarily require diagrams. For this category, ebooks are great in the sense that I can add highlighting and notes very easily. For me this is the largest category of books and so DRM sca

Interesting. Have you used LiveConnected? Know why they can be so inexpensive? Also, where you can you find a grey importer? (by the way the author does mention terminating the contract.)

$80/month? AT&T has $40/month with 1gb/month for the iPhone. So with $199 for the phone, that ends up around $1160. Concerning Australia: Last time I walked in to (I think Telstra, and the same at Optus and Vodafone), I asked about t

You use this in Windows 7? Mind if I ask why? I find the Win7 start menu super useful, just for the fact that I can pin very common apps on the first menu, and see recent items, and have the search. Very very rarely do I go into the "Pro
