I know bashing Microsoft is oh-so-tempting, but can you at least try discussing the actual article here?

Is nobody else here bothered by the following statement? It's on the first page, last sentence of the original paper on Bitcoins... "The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any cooperating group

Looks cool, but the introduction video pop-up does not work in IE 10 for me.

IE 10 is auto updated as part of Windows Update, is that too messy too?

Deactivated my Facebook account this morning and deleted my Twitter account too. Ironic to see this popup on the front page almost as an affirmation.

This is all yawn inducing. I don't remember the last time we had this many articles on HN discussing an OS. All this "discussion" and criticism of Microsoft and Windows is 90% conjecture or very personal (read biased) opinions. I too have b

I own a Surface and disagree with everything in this article. The Surface does have quirks, but as a v1 device from a company that has NEVER designed a commercial PC let alone a tablet, I think it is nothing short of fantastic tech. I just

More competition to Apple/Android is good for us. I'm surprised such a techy crowd isn't jumping on the opportunity to try out new tech. I just pre-ordered mine and I'm stoked!

Fair, but in any case, the ultimate responsibility still lies with the user's judgment. Maybe if there was a service promised but not rendered, could you place full blame on the developer(s).

To be fair, the guy who owns that site did mention that it wasn't meant to be picked up by HN and was still in the early stages of development.

"To be fair" implies there is unfairness. I'd like to better understand who's being shortchanged fairness here. Is it Apple or is it Steve Jobs? In either case, I think protecting the extremely successful, seems like a waste of (argument)

You should package the Growl installation framework with this app. That way if Growl is not installed it will install itself.

Amazing how people can only say anything favorable about Microsoft if they hide behind the guise of a competing company. God forbid a PC guy had this opinion. Up voted none the less. Note: I'm a Mac and a PC person.

Ever tried to attribute your sexual frustration to something? Do you attribute it to others getting laid more than you? Or maybe to the fact that everybody is just always talking about it?

Just because those "objective" answers are satisfactory for you does not imply that they are for everybody. Unless of course you consider yourself to be average. And thus expect your opinions and thoughts to be similar to those of the masse
