When I got to the end of the email, I kind of figured the Osmos development team might have felt some compassion. The bottom line is there is a presumption of guilt here when this guy could have been entirely honest. He even offered to ta

I'm going to disagree with most. Don't get the Nexus One if you plan on having customers. Its far to powerful to accurately tell you what experience your typical users will have. I have three, Nexus One, myTouch3g and G1. I find that th

Huge market, single point of distribution with known history of 'complicated' app validation. I feel bad for the developers in the same way I feel bad for people that lose in the final stages of a poker tournament. Its not always the qual

This sad attempt at questioning the merit of the article is truly part of the problem with this oil leak. We're talking about one of the greatest ecological disasters in the history of the United States and people seem uninterested. It's

I think you are right. I think that an issue here is the assumed "more then others" so the question "Do you like the Beatles?" carries the connotation "Do you like the Beatles more than other bands?" Its a nuance of the language I think r

I'm really on the fence here. On the one hand, its a business and they need to make money to remain viable. On the other, the way the bury the option to turn it off makes me think this could be a lot more transparent. If they feel like t

My concern would be this: 1) Flash is prevalent today. No matter how much people are bashing it on HN, its widely used especially on the sites which are incredibly popular. 2) HTML5 adoption will be slow. Look at how long it to ie6 to die
