The popularity of something on HN vs popularity in general is not comparable, HN is only a small subset of the general developer population.

Grand Theft Auto IV is rated "M", and they allowed for a kid to play with a gun. Even if there is a link between the game and violence there is also some serious problem of parental responsibility.

Well in that case the term "genius" is inadequate.

While I agree the guy is a scum and deserve a good kick in the ball, I feel that people here (even me including to some degree) condone what we are criticizing the NSA for. I also agree that this behavior is also destroying not only whateve

This is why I didn't work in computer graphics and choose to be a lowly web developer instead :p

Well since you can have hardware emulator in javascript, we surely became less impressed in what you can run in the browser. example that come in mind http://bellard.org/jslinux/index.html

At least a nice pretense to tax those company which regularly escaping tax. As far as I remember there was a digital storage tax in France for that purpose (blank media, extended to HDD, and finally extended to computer )

Mobility probably also include weight and battery life. A macbook air/ultrabook probably have a ~5h of battery when streching it, a tablet could last a whole day ( and probably 2 ) without a sweat. And they both have the same weight. There

I think the emphasis was on mobility. It is quite difficult to find a light enough laptop with a large screen estate. I don't think I could go around with a laptop larger than 15".

As much sense as it seems to make, I would sooner see pig fly than something like that happen. Not counting the probable usual issue with code licenses.

I somehow feel that he misses the point, "web app" and "desktop class app" usually have very different purpose and goal. It almost sound like to me: fuck these gui app console app are way faster, and see how easy it is to run them on head

I'm somewhat curious of the reason of why some users would like to download images from facebook.

what's this title, this sound like trolling at best. "Next up on HN, walking eclipse on your Raspberry Pi"

wasn't that the goal of webOS ?

yeah because creating a closed fork of an open source project is really popular.

Popularity is no correlated with quality, more with "good enough for the price".

"Best" is highly subjective, as you can always write better code. But I can somehow agree that unwanted noise is an unneeded distraction while coding. Of course the subject of headphone in a workplace is always a touchy subject, but they ar

About the automatic resources vaccuming, I preferred the homeworld 1 way, where you could rebuild your fleet at the end of the mission (cataclysm added a much needed time warp). Still my favorite RTS.

more slow paced than the first one ( + extension by barking dog studio ), but still a good homeworld game

He is an primarily an Apple user after all and bound to read more Apple oriented news. I don't think he would read much news about the new blackberry or even get a look at the comments.
