I've personally been in between the 500MB-1,000MB/mo range in the past year. I don't tether or anything, but do stream internet radio over it, and sometimes internet video's (e.g., TED). If you're only using the basic built-in apps, like e

"At this point, the ONLY reason I've been buying macbook pros rather than low-end macbooks is the screen size." Some of the higher-end Pro models have better video cards, which yields better 3D performance, and sometimes better output on

Boxee is on Apple TV if you hack it. It did have working Hulu support in the last April 2009 build (currently Hulu isn't working for me on it, as of about 2 weeks ago - they might have broke it again, and Boxee is semi-slow at releasing up

I totally agree with you abossy . I just wanted to mention that some people might actually "like" having information overload. People who are information addicts/junkies, or people who have attention deficit disorder, or people who are u

My initial impression is that it looks like an online version of Outlook/OWA, albeit with more/different features. It's very, very busy with stuff flying all over the place. They're hitting on a big problem though; centralizing online conv

My hunch is that computers won't suddenly outdo humans and overtake the working world. Rather, I'd imagine that technology will meld with humans. We'll eventually "technologically-evolve" into hybrid human-machines, eventually leading up

I agree, it's impossible to come to a conclusion based on what we've seen from both sides thus far. I think it's best to wait-and-see on this one. Perhaps Techcrunch and Last.fm are "both" right from their perspectives, and we're seeing a

For a language like this to overtake Python, several things would have to happen: 1) It would have to offer something a lot more than slight improvements in syntax. What improvements it offers already are definitely nice, but I'm not goin

Good question. Note by "entrepreneurial endeavors" I meant start-ups, and not mom/pop "home businesses." Companies which plan to scale to a reasonable size (20-1000+ employees), essentially. I've come to that perception from economic clas

There's a reason why most entrepreneurial endeavors start in the United States and not in Europe. Bureaucratic laws like this stifle innovation rather than promote it. How about we make the EU politicians and lawmakers liable for the laws

FYI, the newest version of NoScript (1.9.2.6) stops doing this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=589683

Just to re-iterate the article, NoScript runs ads on their website to generate some revenue. Adblock Plus normally blocks these ads, but NoScript whitelists itself (along with a few other partner developer websites) in Adblock Plus "withou

They say they do, but their contract said go online to see the limits. I went online and didn't see any limits listed anywhere. My guess is that it's the same 250GB/mo that Comcast uses, seeing as they use Comcast's cable lines to deliver

Comcast pissed me off for the last time a few weeks ago. They jacked their cable/internet prices up on me to $120/mo for the second time in a year without telling me. Their sales reps lied to me about rates/promo's, etc... So I ditched th

I didn't mean to post Rob's blog to discredit your submission of the link in any way. Sorry if I came across like that. Thanks for posting the link, I enjoyed reading it! And great article on your blog too! :)

It's definitely useful in moderation. I think most of us would agree that we find a lot of the comments to be valuable and insightful, as with some of the articles. Of course, "in moderation" is key here. Spending all day on the site prob

But they're "not" a tangled mess! If you're a neat-freak like me, you've got everything zip tied down, and some nice BlueLounge.com* cable-management to boot! *I'm not associated with BlueLounge in any way. I just love their cableyoyo's.

You're correct, the iPod earphones (all of them) aren't suited well for working out. Weight lifting? Yeah, you can get away with them there, as long as you don't mind the low-quality sound. Any in-ear type will stay put better, however.

I ordered a Kindle 2 after playing with the iPhone app. I haven't had it long enough to really give the Kindle 2 a good review, but there are a few things that stood out: 1) It's a lot nicer to read on than the iPhone screen. Larger, and

It sounds like his family was probably having money problems (they owed more than they had in the bank, or they weren't able to support their lifestyle). In that context, perhaps his wife was threatening him to "get a stable job that provid
