Am I crazy or did the URL of the submission change? I've never seen that done on HN before.

I thought this was common knowledge. Ballmer said a few years ago that he would be retiring in 2018. To announce that he's quitting, even "within a year", is very out of the ordinary, and it's obvious something went do

Anyone else think they're doing the same now with the "gas attack" in Syria? I don't really claim to understand how a dictator thinks under pressure of civil war, but the guy seemed relatively intelligent and educated. H

That's a good headline. We should start calling what NSA is doing "un-American" too - because it is.

Google should be doing the same thing, and ease up on the incestual relationship with Intel.

I hope this becomes a bigger trend, but if we're going to do this again , then I hope we do it right this time, and we make it as secure, as uncontrollable by governments, and as anonymous as possible (if you so make that decision on

I disagree. What made US so great and so loved by the world were its values , and being a role model (a good one that is) for every other country. Being just as bad as China or Russia and showing complete distrust in partners and allies,

Most of the main chip makers seem to have agreed to support it [1], but it's taking too much time to bring it to their chips. For example in 2014 I'm not going to care about wide VP8 support anymore. In 2014 I want to already see

Does it support VP9 and Opus yet?

I hope this means Google Wallet will be able to do what Google Checkout couldn't - finally take on Paypal. But before it does that, it needs to be ubiquitous on Android devices at least, and used by hundreds of millions of people, glob

If this passes, it will be a ruling as bad, if not worse than Citizens United.

Where does she mention it in the video? You should've linked directly to that part.

Maybe you should try writing a more coherent comment, instead of spamming the thread with a lot similar comments. You can also edit your comment.

Mirrorless cameras are disrupting DSLR's, and smartphones are disrupting the point and shoots (and possibly mirrorless cameras in the future - 10+ years).

Is still still needed now that Android has SELinux implemented?

Yes, I missed it, too. I had to come back the 2nd time to see what everyone is talking about.

First it's "never abused their power". Then it's "never abused their power intentionally " (those tens of thousands of spying "errors" every year don't count apparently), then it's "on

> Google’s head legal honcho David Drummond joins the Uber Board. So, this means that any municipality thinking of messing with Uber (which seems to happen monthly) will now have to think twice about getting into fisticuffs with Google.

I missed this article at the time by Bruce Schneier and I think a lot more did, too, or didn't pay much attention to it, but according to him, Google already gave NSA a backdoor into Gmail, which is what the Chinese hackers used to hac

I don't think Musk would like the Microsoft culture and environment, even as a CEO of it. Google might be a better fit, especially with Google X and self-driving cars, but he wouldn't be too excited about making apps and web apps

How about paying $8 billion for Skype, a zero-profit company, and almost paying $40 billion for Yahoo?

This why I'm not comfortable with the idea of companies getting paid for this, and actually being profitable for them to do it. If it wasn't sustainable for a company to give so much data to the NSA, they would protest a lot lou

Marketing and PR can only do so much to improve the image of a company or product. That company or product actually has to have great core values or qualities. Microsoft is forcing OEM's to pay licenses for using open sources operati

Long, long overdue. He should've been fired ( ahem - retired) after the Vista failure, which was his failure. It took Sinofsky to turn things around with Windows 7, and deliver on time. Hopefully this means a lot less "Metro&qu

I'd love for Samsung to test it in Court, if Microsoft dares to sue them over it. Samsung has been doing some great work lately with file systems. They've also worked on the very good F2FS file system for flash storage, and I thin

DMCA needs be amended, badly. The automated DMCA takedown notices and with no repercussions for false infringements are making the copyright situation worse. These companies need to be punished for sending abusive DMCA notices.
