Are you kidding me? India is no different to the problems mentioned in lot of asian countries. Japan doesn't have street names but only block numbers. Most of these countries didn't have planned cities (or grid system for roads). Bad monsoo

I feel mission control crew are under-represented in all the pictures. Without taking any glory from astronauts as they were men on the front, mission control were the brains of this mission. I guess History channel had wonderful documentar

On a side note, Forbes website has terrible UX. First I'm presented with page-takeover ad. Then page is full of flash based ads. Page loading was terribly slow. Looking at web inspector, it made ~ 266 requests for ~ 187 KB of data. And it t

I agree with you. They had some seriously cool stuff in 90s with virtualization. It was like pushing the limits of computer science. But why don't they continue to innovate in that market? For Android fragmentation alone there is serious ne

Interesting to see two major CEO changes today. However, has anyone used Cloud Foundry? And why everyone wants to get into "cloud provider" business? Amazon is winning that market on price and features. And big players like Google, Microsof

Dave, not sure whether you read HN; I have a question for you - I believe what you are describing are "feature" startups. Which of course are derided by everyone. Now you can always say we are going to be a product and then company by cover

With caveat of getting downvoted, I don't understand why ad supported businesses are derided especially on forums like HN. 1. Marketing & Visibility: Ads let small businesses (and of course startups) to gain visibility. How many startup

On a side note, you should not use Lobster type face for content. It looks "hip" for logos and all. But it becomes annoying for content.

Thats interesting. And 4chan had only one guy (moot) managing all of this makes it even more impressive. By the way, some of the posters commenting on 4chan degrading morality. This is an anon forum and its just a reflection of our society!

Carriers hate to be called as "dumb pipes" but unfortunately they have become the dumb pipes only. Any idea why Verizon blocked Google Wallet? Isn't it illegal?

Why don't FB openly admit their mistake on their engineering blogs? At least they can salvage already messy situation

Your quote reminds me of Netflix too. Here we have public company built on someone else's "business" (as Hollywood calls it).

What is the solution then? Ads are going to be integral part of the Internet. Ads need native integration that is clean and unobtrusive. Nobody complains about Google AdWords. There is whole new industry of SEO/SEM around it. I'm hopeful ab

Good job guys! How did you guys get such a good domain name? Importantly, how much did you pay?

Cost-wise how effective it is? Of all the services out there EC2 seems to be the cheapest with so many services. Its like mini swiss knife for cloud computing.

For those who are finding it hard to rent a place, I have a suggestion for you: move to Berkeley. Amazing food. Great weather most of the time. And if you live near BART station its not that far if you work in SF.

"$1.2bn in cash" Wow. Has there been any acquisitions north of $1bn with cash (and no equity) buyouts?

I understand that. All the cool tech/UI aside, most of the people want to know price and availability. When iPhone was first released, it launched with $299. Price alone created so much buzz like "all this awesome things at just $299, I'm g

I was surprised. Did they forget to mention about price and availability? Poor PR from MSFT.

Microsoft Surface - Tablet from MSFT More information: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en/us/about.aspx Looks cool to be honest. With Metro UI it can be game changer.
