This needs to be stopped. Wireless will increasingly become consumers primary Internet connection. If this becomes standard practice for wireless providers, freedom to access what content the user chooses will be effectively destroyed.

Yes, Twitter was lucky in more than one way. I agree with what you said about early adopter. I'd label these people as "willing to test products", even if that means they will encounter some bugs or issues. However, not every business will

Well, I think from a customer point of view they see "making things more stable/reliable" as "no progress". Customers, rightly so, expect things to be stable and reliable from the start. Otherwise, they are testing your product and not ever

Seems like there is a simple distinction: Science is the pursuit of knowledge (using math, logic, and reasoning to obtain knowledge). Engineering is the practice of applying a process to create something (either concerete or abstract--like

In my mind (and maybe I missed some aspect of the Facebook announcement) Wave was much more ambitious due to the collaborative document editing aspect, absolutely realtime interaction, and open architecture/apis that allowed for things such

I'm curious about the "exam anxiety" aspect. I've never heard of allowances for alternate types of examination being made for this before, and I just left University in the US earlier this year. Is this recognized in the US as well? Seems l

I agree with the main point here. I'd like Twitter more (and find it more usable) if all the context/meta information (links, hashtags, references to other users--@replies, etc) were separated from the content itself. 140 characters is not

Also look into Instapaper. I've known about it for some time but never really used it until I bought a Kindle 3. Instapaper supports periodically automatically pushing content to your Kindle (using the Kindle email address, so it costs $0.1

I think a lot of the buzz is meta-buzz, especially here on HN. Like you said, there is no product, just an idea. I think what's interesting is that with only an idea they were able to generate a lot of cash through donations. I don't think

I agree that the arguments in the article were not well formed. One big thing they seemed to have overlooked (or consciously ignored) is the timing of the project. I think its obvious by the amount of donations that they received that the a
