I suspect malicious activity or automated trading systems could be the source of problems, in addition to engineering. Don't assume it's automatically Linux vs .NET.

That's a weak argument. Tim Cook is talented, no doubt, but he is not unique. And $59 million is excessive compensation for any interim CEO. This is an example of why great companies oftentimes make lousy long-term investments. APPL is a sp

You may need therapy if it saddens you to see Microsoft port its OS to non-Intel chips, like they used to do with NT. Who else is going drive change away from the x86 ISA?

History with iOS suggests a level playing field will be very short-lived. Once a couple of indie developers hit it big with MacFart desktop apps (don't hate - a friend who bought an iPad for Christmas is proudest of a fart app), the big dev

Most users need a web browser (email, FB, gossip sites), maybe a word processor, and maybe an occasional game. They need something more like Chrome OS, not an app store. Sophisticated users (gamers, programmers, tinkerers) don't need an app

Prima facie, this is a cool way to sneak into a country. Extra cool points if he had crafted Krueger attachments to his hands. He should be let in on the grounds that this is exactly the kind of innovative thinking that this country require

Dude, it's karma points on HN. A number on a server somewhere that has no bearing whatsoever on your real life. Have some perspective.

How do you measure "complex or less than very good" user interfaces?

For users, Macs are great. But Apple has always had a contentious at best relationship with developers. Their tone has always struck me as small developers are a pain, and they would rather have fewer developers ergo less software. That sa

Of course you can't condemn anyone to hell because there is no such thing as hell.

This will never take off because Google or carmakers can not assume more liability for accidents than hundreds of millions of drivers can. Technically, cool. From a practical legal perspective, a non-starter.

In general, I agree the statement "you have no right to complain because you don't pay to use it" is silly. In the context of "a user violates the terms of usage, is repeatedly reminded of them, continues to violate them, is banned, and th

"This is a popular idea on HN. You're only a customer if you pay." It's also a popular idea in the wider world of business, which predates FB by several thousand years. If you are interested in an abstract theory of wealth, that's great. B

Users use, and customers pay. In this case, the two are different groups.

It would be interesting to see demographics of FB users. I would bet recent trends shift toward more older users and fewer younger users. If their user base is shifting that way, then it's over for the 18-24 age group, but the boomers wil

Geez, this has nothing to do with his age and everything to do with his level of web experience. Your comment is pretty close to saying "giving his race" or "given his country of origin".

Agreed. This behavior is an example of why I left FB. Also, people who bitch about the terms need to remember how much they paid to use the service.
