If you want non-Apple hardware, go buy it. There's nothing stopping you (or anyone else) from doing so. I think Apple fills an obviously valuable niche (several niches, really) and I don't see any incentive for them to open up like you sugg

This is related to my Ask HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3498229 My question was asking if there may be a correlation between the quality of the content and the actual name of Hacker News being misrepresentative due to the ambigu

I agree, I too am glad to have found HN :) To me, a hacker is much more technical in nature. Reverse Engineering, Assembly, homebrew, etc. are all keywords that come to mind when I think Hacker. The "programmer in his/her dark basement" is

Thanks for the quick response! I've got one more if you don't mind. This is a question that should definitely be asked on a school by school basis, but I'd be curious to know if it is a common occurrence as well (from your experience as a p

Great article, and very relevant to what I'm going through right now! I'm a sophomore undergraduate currently looking to transfer, and I need two letter of recommendations. However, I feel uncomfortable approaching my professors since I don
