I'm feeling shakes every 20 minutes or so; one of the earthquake alerts on my phone actually preceded the shaking by about 10 seconds. My body's so used to the shaking that it always thinks it's shaking -- I set up a bottle of water to look

There are push notifications of major earthquakes, though I think they're opt-out-able, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Maebashi, Gunma here. I was on the 10th floor of city hall when it happened and bookcases were falling all over; we were trying to hold them up and not really getting how serious it was. That was a few hours ago and we're still getting peri

I had a HP tablet with a wacom-integrated screen. It cost me around $1000 USD several years ago and suffered various problems: graphics crashes, overheating, and worst of all, a malfunctioning tablet. The vent fans were placed and designed

I disagree. He has made a lot of money in a 99-cent market populated by those particular readers. There's nothing to say that there isn't a 99-cent harlequin romance market, a 99-cent pulp sci-fi market, a 99-cent hard sci-fi market, a 99-c

This is confusing because R-Studio (with a hyphen) is also a file recovery utility...

I don't think judo does much to contribute to the "ideal body" at all. There are judoka with the ideal body, but there are far, far more without.

What about a number interface -- hit a button to bring up an oversized numeric pad?

The idea of doctors using iPads scares me; I know plenty of people who make casual typos with numbers on the iPhone or iPad as it is -- the last place I want someone doing that is in a hospital or doctor's office.

This blows my mind. I'd love to put it on my homepage or something, but it really hurts your personal "brand" when over half the people who visit your site can't view it properly. I feel this way about most of the tricks I see on HN, sadly.

I don't really get the difference between Tumblr and a blog. Every major tumblr I've seen is just a blog with a blank interface. You can do that anywhere else...

I live in Japan and have the same problem, to some extent. News coming out of America is largely negative. But then again, news in general is largely negative -- negative sells. It's not just how we rate things, but also what people choose

It's neat... but there are probably two things I'd personally want in a recipe storage site that would make me switch from using a drafted e-mail in gmail. 1. A way to download all of my recipes for backup. 2. A simple way to convert betwee

Why do people use .ly anyway? It's not like there aren't other two-letter domains out there.

Kendo, Photography, Cooking, Reading... though the reading is on a Kindle, which may count as a computer for you.

I've always hated running and have never been able to get a "runner's high" -- I wonder if there are people with fewer endocannaboid receptors than "normal," and of course, people with more.

It looks neat, though I'd worry about being gypped out of my money: 1. I don't know your or your site from Adam (no offense intended, honestly) and your site hasn't been around long enough to have a rep. There aren't any "trust markers" aro

Agreed. I just want to sit here and click through clues, but the UI isn't very conducive to that.

It's really irritating how Gawker sites detect that I'm not in America and force me to go to jp.gizmodo.com or jp.lifehacker.com, rendering the link itself entirely useless.

I don't like the added bit on "No." I only know of him because of the internet in general -- since I don't live in America right now -- and I don't particularly have anything against him as a singer or as a person.

And it's a bit of a turn-off when I see something like "二日酔い" with an explanation that it literally means "paying for your drink" when it doesn't.

Most kanji textbooks suck because learning kanji sucks for westerners. Westerners are generally trying to learn several things at once: the stroke order, the readings, and the meaning. This causes information overload. For example, looking

The mysterious types of landing pages are complete turn-offs for me. If I go somewhere and see a place for my e-mail address with no real information on what I could be signing up for, I just leave and forget. It takes a strong amount of bu

I hope this is fixed for you as soon as possible. It's only been a day or so since the mistake, though, so hopefully they'll fix it once the gears of bureaucracy have had a chance to turn.

I like the idea, but it kind of feels like taking advantage of the homeless. Sure, some money is better than none, but only five bucks for a 5-minute interview? It almost feels demeaning.

Maybe if you know about sports cars. I've seen, for example, RX-8s and thought "Wow, what a nice-looking sports car, I bet it's expensive." They're pretty cheap.
