Hey Mitchell, Thank you for producing such an awesome piece of software. I have been doing my local development on a Vagrant box for about a year now and in that time I have been able to move from OS X to Linux almost seamlessly thanks to V

His works, after The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum, had become significantly mode self-indulgent. TPC is no exception to that, except that it is considerably less indulgent than the books between FP and TPC.

To be fair, most of my bricking has been due to my own carelessness, including a dead boot that had to be finally rescued via the JTAG route. Even with the best guides, it is easy to miss a step or two no matter how many times you have done

Lucky find, I guess. From the story: "The unauthorised copying only came to light after a US Army official mentioned "thousands" of devices running the software during a presentation on technology."

The quote below is priceless. "Apptricity is now incredibly energised to use the settlement resolution as a catalyst for aggressive investment in our team, our solutions and our untapped market opportunities," said Randy Lieberman

I think an accurate comparison would be EA providing software via the Playstation Store which attempts to change the OS, leading to a situation where the warranty becomes void and Sony refuses to replace or fix broken PS4s free of cost. Whe

Foucault's Pendulum gets my vote too if you want to read something that is as straight forward as Eco can get. The Island of the Day Before, Baudolino and The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana felt more like he was trying to test you, in

It is not just a discipline issue, it also alters your desired growth trajectory as your sole aim is no longer being a healthy profitable company; you also have to account for the endgame the investor is playing, which, more often than not,

Unsurprisingly, companies (especially ones that are growing) do change and those changes impact their relationship with their customers/consumers. Tech is no different on that front, where it is different is that, unlike your departmen

Notable point being this part: "Working from the tracking numbers IDC released two weeks ago". Extrapolation, like this, has very limited use and is vaguely indicative at best and nowhere close to being reliable for anything other

Never happened to me either, but I don't have a G+ account with the Google account I use for YouTube and have said "no" every time they have suggested I change to a real name or when they suggested some other change. Most peo

Thanks! No, was not asking about lead sourcing. More on the lines that I'd consider an e-commerce company a digital company, while I'd think of an FMCG company as primarily non-digital. In digital companies, the product awareness

You'll actually be quite surprised to know that solutions have existed for a long time for PLM/CRM/ERP for various industry segments for SMEs in India. One of the reasons why they have not done well is that the founders rarel

Chaitanya, Congrats. That's quite a neat achievement! There seems to be a bunch of companies quietly plodding away and doing good like this out here. Would love to see what kind of margins are you hitting, but I guess that would be ask

Going through the comments (and most of the HN comments on platforms that tend to divide people), I still find it deeply distressing that even geeks/nerds chase hard after the one-true-way approach. You don't see one true type of

Privacy, or security, or both? Nations can rarely afford to have mutually exclusive streams of work. You don't see the U.S waiting till they solve their economic crisis to figure out what to do in Syria. One of the major problems with

Strangely, that is what my thoughts on snooping at this level has been for a while. Using a combination of compromising people and infra, it is easy to break pretty much anything if, as a state, you put your mind to it. Unfortunately, the d

I had recently given up 4-years of living with OS X to get back to Linux - elementaryOS, to be precise. This is a product that has been long due, but for some reason never gets built. 5-6 years ago, driver support etc was the main reason, b

Honestly, crytpo -- whether we need more of it or less of it -- itself is not the problem. It boils down really to who do you think can be a suspect, just because they have locks on their doors. If all crypto users are potential criminals,

Not that I like much what they're doing, but I don't think those options exist anymore. As purists, we probably love the concept of organic growth a bit too much. There's nothing wrong with being a small successful company, there are tens a

I'll keep aside the logic of whether I like what they are doing or not and ask if they have any other option. The die has already been cast in Quora's case, from what it looks like from the outside (I'm speculating wildly here), it looks li

Been on the CM10 nightlies ever since they started coming out for the SGS. If you are upgrading from CM9, be warned that you will wind up with a new partition layout and new user data by the time you're done with the upgrade. Till recently,

While Marco has written specifically about iCloud and the iPad, what he describes is not limited to just everything Apple. My father recently turned 70 and he has a PC at home which is used for listening to music, browsing and a lot of CAD.

I don't. Kind of. Had an account which I disabled end 2010 and deleted end 2011. I'm addicted to mindlessly clicking away on the internet and, unfortunately, I wound up doing that with FB too. I do have another account which is required to

I have a slightly different and gut-feel driven take on this. Much of Facebook's valuation is dependent on the potential of the company to monetize its user base at a much greater level in the future. This is commonly referred to the 'narra
