People actually do other actions on their phone after unlocking it. If somebody swipes on their homescreen, browse the web, etc, the trail would not be just the unlock pattern. The exploit you're talking about may work if you get hold

Not sure about the context but Tim Cook's statement sounds arrogant. People in 3rd-world countries use these "junk" phones to improve their lives. Even here in the US, some of the poor doesn't own a PC but own a cheap An

Familiar to what? If Google waits for other browsers to offer the APIs it needs, Chrome apps won't happen for a long, long time.

Who would want you to have more power though? Google or MPEG-LA?

Would you rather go to an in-person interview and waste half/full day? I'll do a take-home programming assignment anytime over an in-person interview to gauge mutual interest.

Tell that to Pinterest. Pinterest took off without "us". Not all new tech needs to go through "us" to be successful.

"Google's inbox is Good for the internet consumers" Isn't that good enough? Good luck finding a solution where everyone wins.

Why is it biased? What makes a review unbiased to you? Paul spent weeks evaluating the platform which not many people are able to do so they resort to other people's experiences. This is why Yelp, The Verge, Engadget are popular. Not e

Same with me. I can't log in to the Twitter Android app anymore.

Another reframing: "Government coverup to protect Google" People will believe what they want to believe.

There was Windows Mobile but phone manufacturers didn't like it so they still built their own.

People are forgetting the state of mobile OS ecosystem before Android came along. Samsung, Sony, Motorola were using Java ME but you cannot build just one app that works for all manufacturers. If Android doesn't exists, we'll have

Trial ends. You don't want to pay. But the service should still continue? And this is one of the top stories on Hackers News?

When the PC first came out, it only catered for the rich. Same with cell phones, cars, etc. How about restaurants? Why should people eat out when it's cheaper to cook at home? If founders listen to people like you, nothing will be buil

You're only right if he would be doing laundry every hour. Let's say he works 8 hours a day for $100/hour. That's $800 a day. For 5 days a week, that's $4000. Let's say he does 2 laundry a week, that's $50

Bluetooth Smart Support is a big deal. It's going to make it easier for hardware devs to develop Bluetooth apps.

We see a lot of these posts on HN complaining about companies particularly Google asking you to do some things (register, upload photos, add your name, etc.) Have we actually asked ourselves what value are we giving to these companies in re

Dude, I don't think you can convince him with facts.

Wow. This is the worst thing that could happen. Creating a Google+ account is such a travesty. It's such a waste of time and effort that could be better spent ranting on Hacker News. You should avoid everything Google. In principle, av

Seriously, it's in the PROMOTIONS tab which you can TURN OFF. Why the rage here?

Wow. A lot of discussion from a single tweet. Do we have all the information? It's very likely a test. Google does a lot of testing that ultimately is not publicly released.
