I always thought I was not the crazy one that wouldn't buy a game because of the DRM, but I'm finally that guy. I love the Sim City games and remember playing them since the 90's, but I can't pay into a company which preferred the DRM over

Many developers think they know the solution to a problem before understanding the problem. They jump to the solution, so to speak. This is exactly what HN has been doing about Excel the last few days... if you want to replace Excel, spen

The fact that this is on the front page shows that HN is no longer a real news trading site for real hackers. :(

Kindle DRM is why I bought my last 3 books in paper instead of my kindle, even though I believe it presents a superior reading experience. Pragmatic programmer, for instance, prohibits sharing of books on kindle, so I now avoid buying then
