The OSX license agreement severely limits the practicality of this: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOS1012.pdf It only allows you: Section 2B(iii): "to install, use and run up to two (2) additi

But they don't need software. You are doing that work for them by giving away your core platform for free. I would imagine that if you change that now your userbase would likely rebel and/or clone/fork your software. Do you p

Whats your plan on competing with China copycats, who are no doubt already working on a lower cost clone of your product? Since its such a great idea, but uses mostly off the shelf parts and doesn't require much specialization, its a p

I agree, I'd bet they have an internal Linux build for a few years now...

This has been my line of thought, and makes the most sense, but still feels frustrating. At this point, I feel like the best way to go about this is some sort of Kickstarter or bounty for the Wine project to provide incentive to get these a

Canoneo, great way to subtly market your product. This looks like a new site (domain from May 2016). Kudos on this very slick move. Instead of trying to advertise yourself on HN, you just used your product as intended, with content specific

Very funny to see Apple playing catch up on design to Google in the area of flat style design. Google are the ones who pushed flat design into UI and everyone else is following their lead.

If something isn't done about this very soon, people will never remember or know what used to be. Most (many?) of us here have used VCRs, tape recorders and CD burners, etc, and understand what he is talking about when we remember the

I'm crying. Remember when messaging was built on open platforms and standards like XMPP and IRC? The golden year(s?) when Google Talk worked with AIM and anyone could choose whatever client they preferred? Welcome to the future friend

Very cool. Some ideas I would love to see: 1) Exclude recipe that include particular ingredient(s). (dietary restrictions) 2) Tooltips in the column headings that explain the various ratings and indexes you are using

IMHO, the stock keyboard on Surface devices is barely functional. It looks nice but lacks a lot of features that I am used to from my (non Microsoft) mobile devices. I am hoping this acquisition is a move to improve that technology.

I just didn't think it fit the profile. I didn't downvote nor complain, just asked what the justification was. Wasn't hostile, but my inquiry has produced some downvotes. Go figure.

Why is this article on hacker news? What does it have to do with this community? I am just wondering how it fits in to the vision of what HN is supposed to be. Or do I not understand what it is?

WOW!! I see this as a serious competitor to Lua. I think lua because so popular because of its small footprint and easy embedability... Perhaps this is the first step to a Python revolution... I expect to see a lot of interesting devices a

Google "doesn't like" bad publicity from people who make a stink about non-issues like this. That't my take away from such a post. I don't want to anyone to Pyongyang or anywhere else. Those who think that that hiri
