There were a lot of people (9to5mac, mashable, etc) talking about this picture on the invite. They're talking about an iPad in portrait mode, and without the home button. Whole long comments about this new iPad without the home button, etc.

Actually, other people have done this in the past - Timothy Ferriss (the biz guy and author of "The Four Hour Work Week") was famous for using this adwords multivariate testing technique when he was deciding the future title for his book! S

Hey everyone - I think we can all agree that Thorium tech has nothing to do with the current nuclear power industry. This industry opposes Thorium tech since the government decided to abandon it's research in the 1960s. Why? Thorium fussio

I'm speaking about this particular post and not her body of "writing" in general. Rest assured, I don't share negative opinions very often on HN, but when I do it's well supported by FACTS and not flippancy, as you suggest. Small Stuff: Her

Sorry to join the haters, but this Penelope Trunk doesn't know the first thing about startups - this article was complete junk. I'm going to form another startup with the goal of going back in time to get my two minutes of wasted reading ti

This satellite looks awesome, but it's basically being put into service by the satellite ISP WildBlue, which ViaSat bought in late '09. My parents live in a rural area and rely on WildBlue for their internet (they have a dish on the roof),

I don't doubt that Max Klein heard this rumor from his "angel" investor friend, but there's no backup and a random(?) picture to get the point across. For me, this is just a rumor until the news breaks with more substantive details.

I think the right to film a public official doing his/her duty in a public setting should be a no-brainer. However, this article goes to state that in France, there is no right to free speech (no equivalent to the US First Amendment), which

I think Sergie Brin comes across as cocky in this interview and Steve Yegge's memo about Google's failure to create platforms is more valid then ever- Brin himself has treated Google+ as an afterthought and I don't think that bodes well for

Yeah, I would go one step further to say that there's a need for an international treaty to standardize these laws and regulations for what in essence is a very international internet.

That's very true, especially because the book is a type of sales bible for convincing people to buy things they shouldn't otherwise buy! But if you focus on the broad strokes and try to remain true to yourself, then you'll hopefully avoid i

I paired down the last comment just to make it informative for other readers who might have a similar problem, so perhaps this doesn't all apply to your case. Lawyers in your family provide good legal advice, but make sure to seek third-par

Step number one - don't go to court after speaking with just one lawyer or firm. Seek multiple legal opinions before filing. I can't stress enough the importance of this. Also, ask specific questions about how things might go wrong - includ

Early in my career one of my bosses also recommended that I read "How to Win Friends and Influence People", so I just wanted to give it a second vote. If you take it seriously the book will definitely set you on the right path, or at least

In this case the law of diminishing returns is offset by the massive movement from TV-based advertising to web-based advertising. As long as TV loses add dollars, there will be plenty of "rising tide" to lift both Facebook and Google in ter

Yes, I was only stating facts, and I really want to point out that if we want to understand what the world will be like in the near future, we have to understand what rapid urbanization and "mega cities" will entail - massive urban populati

By 2050 it's estimated that over 50% of the world's population will live in "chabolas" - i.e. in semi-urban shanty towns with no formal infrastructure, yet still very close to major city centers. So distribution is increasingly less of a pr

Yeah, and taking a look at his CV he also did a lot of Apple-interface design work. And has a best selling product (neat synthesizer). And a lot of other top-notch work. This guy is a definitely a neo-Tufte candidate for the digital era.

I'm also intrigued by these web app + product combos - this would have been a perfect idea for Kickstarter as well, just because they could have sold some of their glasses upfront. On the flip side, whenever you have physical production and
