   Would love to use them. But they don't support everywhere we need to be.

   Because there are places where that's all it takes to spend money. I trust our clients..but you never know..especially when dealing with an international client you've never met.

   Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check 'em out. I was secretly hoping that there was some awesome YC-backed start-up that's nailing this problem that I'd missed..but this looks like it may be helpful.

   My kids still love my (their?) iPad 1. It still runs all of their (highly educational!) apps just fine. There are many, many use cases for the device that don't require iOS 6.

   I wonder what would happen if Apple allowed consumers to pay for the ability to sideload apps. It seems like this might address the concerns of the vocal minority of techies that truly care about this sort of thing, while still maintaining

    Thanks for this. We get the occasional vitriol-lined customer feedback. Intellectually, you have to let it roll off. Emotionally, it's obviously more challenging...

    Question: if Yahoo weren't playing the part of patent troll with Facebook right now does this story still get the same hype? Seems like there are many folks with a vested interest in seeing a change of direction from Yahoo right now..

    But does it exist in an easy-to-use app that a non-techno-geek parent can understand and hand to their child confident that the kid can then visit the "safe" (and only the safe) parts of the web? If not, then creating said app is a busines

    Oh I was kidding - kinda. We applied to do exactly this for YC W12 and we got an interview, but didn't get selected for funding. We've got decent traction and are continuing regardless. Focused on iOS for now, but with plans to extend to

    Is anyone else wondering about speed/performance issues when scaling up iPad graphics like this? Apple must have a hot new (A6?) chip up its sleeve that will enable performance on par with what you get from an iPad 2 now while also smoothl

    Snaphop.com's display breaks for me in mobile Safari. May be worth looking at again given that the focus of the site is on mobile marketing.

    Perhaps on that day, HN blacks out all normal content and instead just features a list of all the sites that have gone black in protest? Could let users submit URLs to be added to the list.
