Ah, very interesting. Didn't think of this in relation to my point above but it explains why Chrome is open-source too.

Well the other browsers aren't going to make their product better if no one knows of anything better hence the tv commercials. They didn't contribute to Firefox instead of inventing their own browser because if they have a browser of their

I don't think Google's primary goal here is to have the largest market share in the browser market but to be able to drive innovation in the other leading browsers through competition. Google Chrome drove Firefox (and others) to improve the

I don't see what the issue over this is. The headline is sensationalist and misleading, what Apple is claiming is technically correct. Booting a Pystar computer does create an unlawful copy of OS X in memory because OS X isn't licensed to

I disagree, Google would most likely offer this app for a very low price or free. Most of the current (decent) GPS turn-by-turn apps are very pricey up in the $70-90 range, of which apple takes a 30% cut. I find it unlikely Apple would want

I think you are right and wish I could take back what I said now. :-)

You know, now I think more about it, I would very much doubt it does have a better product but that it is down to branding, so maybe logo is important. Not really so sure anymore :). See my reply to briansmith.

Very interesting, I feel kinda stupid now. However after docmach's comment below I believe this reenforces the point about logo design being overrated. However, I think it is more down to an overall brand rather than a specific logo.

> Logo design in today’s world is totally underrated. I totally disagree take for example the case of the Pepsi versus the Coke logo changes: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/consumerist/2009/07/pe... and who is still on top? Cok

That is pretty cool but really, could whoever wrote that not have spent however long that took (which I'm guessing is quite long) doing something a lot more worthwhile.

It was more the video and the fact that the email for the woman's corporate email account and gmail account was called "Motorola", it made little sense. I dunno, it just really did not look like someone who does not read hacker news could

Looks like a very nice phone indeed. Interface wise though, they're miles off, does not look easy to use in the slightest. Edit: clarification of point.

This is why Slicehost rock, they always communicate brilliantly. What I find amazing here is that the Linode representative hasn't even said sorry in the first post they made and hasn't in the second post either, crazy.

This would make sense to me if it was Microsoft, I could absolutely see Windows 8 "Netbook Edition" (Maybe Windows 9 or 10 when there's more ubiquitous internet) to be given away for free and supported by advertising. However this is so "no

Looks good but I think you need to work on improving the design of the page body (the header looks very nice & very professional) it brings to mind those dodgy download sites you sometimes come across on Google, I think it's the small,

I think you're probably right. The number of tech-savy early adopters who are going to have the Alexa toolbar installed is quite low I would say.

I doubt they're lying about their numbers, I think this shows how inaccurate compete + quantcast can be.

It may be a myth upon people who are not entrepreneurs but I'm pretty certain money is not what drives entrepreneurs rather being successful, doing what you love, etc.

The deployment looks pretty awesome but the plans are outrageously expensive... is their something I'm missing which causes them to be so expensive!
