Iced and hot are both common, but putting milk in tea is not common.

I wouldn't call it very strange. No one would judge you for having a cup of tea in the afternoon, and they might even want to join in and have a cup with you. Its just not something that most people would think to do.

What's different about Microsoft Surface that suddenly allows it to create content rather than merely consume it? Wouldn't it make sense to give a content creating device more free space to store content?

"This sort of size is necessary to support a tablet which isn't hopelessly tethered to a PC." Are you implying that iPad is hopelessly tethered to a PC? Have you used an iPad? As of iOS 5, there are very few reasons that one would need to b

Just because the definition of the word sort of describes what the product is doesn't mean it's the best domain name. moot is the name of someone that developed an extremely popular site that also facilitates re-imagined forums and commenti

Hacker News already has IRC, it's #startups isn't it?

More pixels..? Apps that aren't updated are pixel doubled, so images, and in some cases text, are jaggy and blurry until they're updated.

This. Most IRC servers (ircd-seven, InspIRCd, UnrealIRCd, etc.) are rock solid and require very little maintenance if you're not doing more advanced things like linking to other servers, linking to services (ChanServ, NickServ), etc.

Regarding the last point, Colorado has a decent online voter registration system. I don't think it's a "swing states", but the polls seem extremely close at least.

Google has made several apps that duplicate functionality (Gmail, Chrome, etc.) Apple doesn't care.

I agree. I find it tedious to take generated code and try to integrate it into my project (rip out filler text, replace it with database calls, etc.)

The plant was built to withstand quakes. They handle quakes perfectly fine all the time (in Japan and other areas like California). It's the tsunami that caused problems.

I completely agree, I'm getting a little tired of the whining about the 's'-word. For example, on the blog it shows the letter from Square with a paper background. What are we supposed to do instead of something like that? Blocks of solid c

Haha, I knew someone would tell me "but it's easy to set up nginx and PHP!!!" I really don't agree. "php -S localhost:8888" is much, much easier. Let's leave it at that.

This is seriously so fantastic. In my case, the biggest barrier to me contributing to projects that use PHP is the pain of setting up Apache/nginx, making sure permissions are right on the directory for apache to serve it, setting up virtua

Blurry? Are we looking at the same pictures? http://images.apple.com/iphone/includes/camera-gallery/IMG_1... That fur looks pretty sharp to me.

Keep in mind that this article has one unnamed source . Don't ready your pitchfork just yet. EDIT: Actually, they don't even have that. It's a report on a report that had an unnamed source. Not exactly a shining example of journalism.

Oh. That's... very annoying.

I don't think I'll ever understand why companies expend a ton of energy developing a decent web app, yet neglect to turn on the apple-mobile-web-app-capable meta tag which makes the app run fullscreen when it's saved to the home screen...

We don't automatically throw it away. It depends on the food. Is it something that would keep well, or would it be better to just throw it away? Sometimes, food kept in the fridge is neglected or forgotten about and just ends up being throw

Or they were drowning in student loans. It's hilariously inaccurate to say that NYU students are loaded.

rMBP can already quite easily be run at a high raw pixel count resolution (higher than this Samsung laptop in fact, as the article points out.) Obviously, it runs at this raw resolution by default when booted into Windows, so I'm not sure w

Wow, the coolest part (in my opinion) is the Friend Network section at the bottom. It accurately mapped and clustered every section of my life, including my first high school, the high school I moved to after that, my college, my family, va

I'm pretty sure it's a fairly old (few months, at least) clone made by antirez, the creator of Redis. Obviously it didn't quite take off.

Alexia's articles are so consistently pure garbage. Who cares what she thinks about Siri? How about some sources? Maybe some actual usage data? A satisfaction poll of users? TechCrunch is a joke. Are there any journalistic tech news sites o

I'm fairly sure the visa waiver program allows business, otherwise people in other countries would have to apply for a new visa every time they came here for a business trip.
