Wow. I hadn't thought of it in these terms, but you're absolutely right: we're one of the few industries that doesn't contribute much in the way of lobbying or other contributions, so we lose out unless we fall in line. It's shocking - our

Although I don't listen to it elsewhere, I've found that trance music works really well for me. I curate a short Spotify playlist that reliably gets my brain going for me: http://open.spotify.com/user/benwerd/playlist/2srQ17pp4T1CNs...

Sadly, I don't think it extends to universities, although there's also work being done there in some European countries. I think it's mostly government services. Although, as archives and museums are included to an extent, I could be wrong

I've got a Playbook, and I completely disagree with you. The lack of apps is a symptom, not a problem. The development environment is very poor, the app store itself is slow and badly designed, and it's missing important glue like Android's

It was interesting to me that Business Insider thought this was important enough to post there. And, taken as read, it is ridiculously scary: anyone classified as a "domestic terrorist" (a very broad term, which could include social networ

The more I think about this post, the more conflicted I am about it. On the surface, there are some obvious truths. Startups are hard; they're definitely not 9-to-5, 5-days-a-week jobs. There are also way too many people who think they're l

I might consider paying to access iPlayer in the US (I live here now but still have a valid UK license). But I don't think I'd be willing to stick my name on a list of people willing to break site T&Cs and licensing restrictions. That d

I'm almost convinced that the Google solution is a demonstration of intent to overcome legal hurdles in places like Germany. It's not at all a real solution that real people will use.

I don't know why this has had so little HN love. It's a pretty serious issue on three levels: 1. Founders who broke the law when setting up their sites. 2. Over-reaching legislation that is hindering innovation in a number of important ways

Isn't this effectively a way to stick a button at the bottom of my emails that says, "I'M INCREDIBLY DISORGANIZED"? Now, within teams, I can definitely see the use - particularly if it also picked up tasks from bug trackers, tools like Reme
