I guess the beef is that the metric keeps changing. Before Android took over the market crown it was all about unit sales and marketshare percentage that everyone touted. Once Android took over, the metric changed. For example, Windows Serv

Microsoft's concern is recent rootkit malware that loads before Windows even boots. Thus it can make itself completely indetectable from Windows and any anti-virus software that is loaded later on in the booting process. The malware can eve

For many, the money is not the end goal itself, It's about what you can accomplish with the money. This is a community based on startups, and the founders can identify with this. If they can make a little money on the initial product, they

Google got around the spirit of the GPL(there were no web apps when version 2 was written) by never releasing their custom kernel although they profit big time off Linux. The Affero GPL came too late to do any good.

>The classic business model of selling IP doesn't work anymore, but there are other models out there. Mozilla being one of them. And iOS will be killed by Android anytime now. Right?

Not sure how much the devs are paid if any, but the CEO was taking a cool 400K home every year. Their job was to diversify Mozilla so that it wouldn't depend totally on someone that was making a competing product, and utterly failing at tha

A lot of programs already do that. Eg. http://www.gregshackles.com/2010/01/scripting-iis-7-with-pow... and even things like Excel. But the argument here seems to be that forcing users to use the CLI will make them use the more powerful fe

CLI is for noobs, Lisp macros and PERL programs are way more powerful than CLI.and can be exactly customized to your particular task that you're trying to accomplish rather than artificially limit you to a list of non-extensible options l

I guess it's a job for a browser extension now to include all search keywords in double quotes. Will that stop this madness? Between Google Instant and this, I wish Google rolled back to an earlier version(excepting things like the Panda up

I would be happy with a checkbox(sticky or not) or a search hint link that says "Include only pages that contain all search keywords".

Why is it an unreasonable question? Won't a LOT of iPhone 4 users upgrade to a new design rather than a 4S? There are tens of millions of iPhone 4 users.

So Samsung steals iPhone and iPad stock from the factories (since they make some of the parts) and slaps a Samsung sticker on them and sells them. I get it now.

Did analysts predict that iPhone sales would completely crash and burn because of the lack of a redesigned iPhone? If Apple had indeed made a new form factor, would the sales have been 4 million or do you think they would be more than that?

Interesting that Joel has chosen Microsoft's ASP.NET MVC as the platform for StackOverflow. I see companies hosting .NET 4 apps on Windows Server 2003 and running .NET 1.1 apps on Windows Server 2008 R2. Don't need to keep up with the upgra

So if there was an iPhone 5, it's preorders would be the same as worse as now, right? A lot of people upgraded from the 3GS to the iPhone 4 even when in contract, I believe the percent of people doing that is lesser this time and would've b

Similarly, there are a number of people who would love a "a huge, old-style brick phone with a pull-out antenna windows CE style interface" and how it was better than the Galaxy S II or Prime just because it was made by Apple.

Apple proved him right long before this. But there was no outrage against Apple, since they make shiny things that everyone likes. And people actually liked the security that this gave them. The battle was lost then.

I hate it because hitting backspace removes letters from the search field instead of going back in the browser even if I click outside the box. It gets too annoying. Not to mention that it's useless for me because I type really fast.

Err, he's wrong on ARM PCs not running desktop Windows, I don't see why this wrong post needs to be on top of HN. It's like there's like zombies that seem to have a need to auto upvote any post by Gruber. Maybe they're similarly misinformed

Gruber really missed this and also how well Windows 8 runs on ARM in the article yesterday. Maybe he should stick to Apple stories where he's much more knowledgeable. And yet his articles on Windows 8 get top billing on HN whereas the actua
