Then why was it sitting below another article that was posted around the same time but had only nearly half the points? http://i.imgur.com/uFPTSqR.png Edit: Even now, it ranks lower than another article with the exact same points posted a

Here's the Anandtech review featured on HN just a few hours ago. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5175190 If that one got flagged off the front page then this one stands no chance. No point in wasting time writing up comments. Save you

Sad to see this submission getting flagged just like it happens with any article that is not extremely negative on Microsoft. So even reviews of a Microsoft product are not welcome on HN. Many years ago, I read a comment on Reddit calling H

What's up with the lack of contrast on the text? I blame Apple for the trend, although you could tell apart sites and blogs developed by Mac using developers by that trademark gray on white text. http://contrastrebellion.com/

The Ask toolbar integrates itself into IE, Firefox and Chrome. It runs even when Java doesn't and is difficult to get rid of this. So this is way different than having a couple of banner ads showing up inside the app only when the app is ru

Aren't the side effects mimicked so that participants won't see the lack of them and then know that they're taking the placebo which will defeat the double blind study? For example, if you're testing fish oil, you wouldn't use a sugar pill

Why would you compare Windows 8 Pro with Android or iOS and not OS X or even Ubuntu?

It's being advertised as coming with 64GB of storage, not with "64GB free". That's a huge difference. You can wipe the hard disk, install Damn Small Linux, and get ~64GB of free storage. The FTC should consider taking action? What? Why does
