Amazing they didn't mention religion as off-topic. I don't see how this is interesting to a hacker. It's interesting to a redditor, but that's why I don't go there.

Interesting that after all this time MS still haven't fixed this bug. I mean, I realize the patch is probably a business agreement rather than some code, but still.

What does this have to do with hacking, tech, or startups? Why was this posted on HN?

Why do I have the creeping suspicion that you haven't ever even used Ubuntu, and are just using this as a platform for your Mac fanboyism? I LOVE Mac, but let me tell you, with this latest release, I LOVE Ubuntu more!

Iterating on your product, like Canonical are doing with Ubuntu, makes a system that's BETTER than anything that ever came before. I couldn't wait to upgrade to 10.04 because so much new goodness. It's like they're a lean startup, and this

I like that! Put more stuff in the title bar of the app. Except, in Netbook Edition when you expand an application you no longer see its title bar.

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu on my netbook, and I'm impressed. Things that didn't work before in previous releases (like the camera which I used to have to configure, or skype sound which I had to go through several opaque sounding

Me too. RIT is a fantastic school, arguably one of the best if you're going into technical domains like engineering or software. Rock on!

Agreed. They're competing at a whole new level now, having surpassed Windows in usability, functionality, and aesthetics a long time ago, they have their sites set on competing with Apple. If they're going to copy anything, it's going to be

Everyone should have a side-project like yours, it's normal. Every employer should attempt to stop their employees from having such side projects (unless they own them, like Google's 20% thing). That's also normal. Just keep doing stuff on

The article isn't about existing marketshare, it's about the trend in how that marketshare is changing. This is the first time in a LONG time that Windows isn't losing marketshare to Mac and Linux. That's a fact. The speculative part here i

I hate Adobe flash and all, but does the author know that if he installed Ubuntu instead of XP then he wouldn't be having these problems? The install process there is very quick and ad free. It's 2010 for Pete's sake! Friends don't let frie

In a similar story, I have been ignoring the entire mobile phone app craze until now. Something about Google's message really resonates with me and I'm thinking of writing my first phone app for Android. Gonna go buy one soon and make apps!

Duh, big banks would win. Think about it, if they remove competition from the private equity market, then they monopolize capital financing. This revision is nothing more than a monopoly bid.
