We need to ban drivers from cars. Nanny states are borne from thought processes like this. It doesn't matter that the overwhelming majority of drivers don't get into accidents because of their phones, nor does it matter that eliminating r

TL;DR -- Old man yells at cloud. ( http://www.oldmanyells.com/omyac.jpg ) I can't believe The Verge, whose tech reviews have quickly become among the very best on the web, would post such an idiotic, pointless rant. He doesn't like the geni

Personally, I don't know the first thing about hacking, and I don't have any particular affinity toward startups. The reason I visit HN on a daily basis is because it's a great cross-section of news that delves into design, development, tec

I love the new masthead/search area, but I still think the main content area needs a little work -- everything has a "floating in space" look to it because the layout doesn't contain enough visual anchors to prevent it from looking unstru

It drives me absolutely crazy when I hear evolution deniers use the excuse that it's "just a theory," as though the phrase scientific theory means exactly the same thing as a theory in everyday layman's terms. I'd go so far as to say th

"Color Pink® and Pink Nitrile® are registered Trademarks of Colur World, LLC." You can find that disclaimer on any site containing mentions of pink nitrile gloves for use in hospitals.

My short answer to this riddle is a combination of factors -- incompetent bureaucracies in the public and private sector that discourage unique (or sometimes brilliantly common sense) solutions to problems, an educational system that's incr

I was expecting the author to say something to the effect of "37signals added too many new features and now the software is confusing." So I was a little surprised to read on and learn that, no, 37signals kept their software somewhat basic,

The platform as a whole matters a lot less than the exclusivity of its best apps.

Anyone using the Amazon S3 Firefox Organizer extension will be disappointed as I am to discover that it doesn't work with FF5. EDIT: Luckily, I had a moment of intelligence and copied FF4 before installing FF5, so I would recommend doing th

Until Apple releases hardware/software that turns this patent into a reality, I'll leave the aluminum foil in my pantry.

FWIW, there's a $1.99 iPhone app with accompanying Safari, Chrome and Firefox extensions that serves the same purpose called Handoff: http://www.handoffapp.com/

Anyone else notice that the slug in the URL doesn't contain the word "finally?" I guess the original headline wasn't snarky or sexy enough.

The only thing different between the "mail order age" and the internet age is the relative amount of commerce occuring via the latter. You're absolutely right that the main difference is the astronomical difference in scale, but you're ig

Second, as far as I can tell, if you wanted to find the real political story here (since this is a story with both tech and political overtones) is that the big box retailers are looking to put the squeeze on their competition, and using g

The thumbs keyboard was one of the few things that made me think "UX red flag" -- since you can't really type on a touch screen without looking, the user will have to constantly dart their eyes from one side of the screen to the other. That

Librarians who refuse to give up paper books are like record shops who refused to give up vinyl. You write this as though the "physical vs. digital" battle has long been fought and won. The reality is that the landscape has barely begun t
