My moms experience with my iPad: Spent a good minute staring at the device once it was on trying to figure out where Firefox was on the screen she was on. Spent a good minute, once I told her she needed to use Safari, wondering how she coul

I hear what you're saying, and as someone who has been on this site for about two years and still treated as a sandboxed user, there are times where I wonder "why bother flagging" when there is no feedback provided to show me my affect on t

PG, how about creating a 'hall of infamy and repetition' list for submissions that seem to find their way onto the site every so often? Once a link makes the list, all new submissions are redirected to a page listing the previous submission

Free speech is not a blanket protection that allows you to say anything you want at anytime. Whether or not what Wikileaks is doing falls under the protection of the 1st Amendment is something I would love to see the Supreme Court decide, b

Agreed. The demos on their own website left me very unimpressed. Simple things like the back button on my Droid X taking me out of the app and back to their /demo/ page after I had performed a click action or two.

It continues to amaze me how easily and nonchalantly terms like "near-field communications", "enhanced image technology" and the like are accepted by the general public without raising concern or question as to their intent or necessity. We

What came to my mind when I read this was the concept of pre vs post moderation. I find myself viewing posts to my wall in a very timely fashion, almost immediately after I receive an email from facebook letting me know that I have a new po

I also noticed that certain questions aren't necessarily 'easy'. > The 1st number from 25, eight, 6, six and 27 is? So is the answer 25 or 6? I've come to the realization that CAPTCHAs aren't the solution, or at least can't be a standal

While I do share your disdain for drama news like this taking up valuable space on the homepage of HN, instead of us commenting on this story, why aren't we all merely flagging it and letting the tools in place run their course? I understan

@dennisgorelik && @ThomPete I used 'child', but I did mean 'children'. Not going to travel down the road of semantics there. I also don't believe I advocated, nor did Jason in his post, the stopping of everything else in one's life

Indeed, there is no rulebook to follow when it comes to life matters, and I agree that a proper balance (which is a very individual item) is important. My reply to hugh3 was solely around what I perceive to be a statement made by someone wh

My reaction to your post wasn't one of sexism, but that I don't believe you are a parent yourself. Once you are a parent, the most important thing in the world is (or at least should be) your child. You're asking the wrong question (and pro

I would counter (this is not my original idea but I highly subscribe to it) that HN's up-arrow serves a dual-purpose...'liking' an article and 'bookmarking' it for later. There's no other way I can see to explain how articles get 40+ votes

I've found another thing: when you're selecting a style, you're only allowed one. Rather than making it radio buttons, you've used checkboxes and popped up a JS alert when I select two. It means I have to de-select the original before chan
