The guy that you're replying to seems to have no idea how these things work. I worked for an automotive manufacturer in India (hardly a paragon of virtue in terms of regulatory strictness), and we had rules about even seemingly-inane s

I think the idea is that charging itself could have been kept magsafe. The aesthetic elegance of a universal port is trumped by the guarantee that my machine is safe. I trip over power cords far more than I'd proud to admit, and I&#x27

I have a Surface Pro 3, and love it to death, but a word of caution would be that the keyboard on it is "adequate" but certainly not suited for development. The surface book, I gather, is better, but you could probably find better

To me, the touch bar is the lesser of the two sins that Apple committed with these pro models. So many of your 'typical' mac users need a proper keyboard. People writing long articles or novels, developers, obviously, even people

I've a feeling you're in the minority though. It's not that touch becomes the main method of interacting with Windows. It's that it becomes convenient for some things, particularly scrolling.

Not all people. Windows phone used to be a great example of needing only a decidedly mediocre processor to do fantastic things. It used to be great for the "use it and then put it back in pocket asap" sort of lifestyle that I try

Have you ever felt this sense of weariness on the internet? The idea that nothing is new, you've seen and heard it all before, and just a state of the brain being fried? This happens with increasing frequency to me, and is part of the

...and it didn't work. I get frustrated after having to spend ten minutes talking to a customer rep. Half an hour of an evening wasted trying to resolve something that shouldn't be an issue in the first place would leave me seet

It runs full windows. Allow me to repeat. It runs full windows. I'm a grad student. I have a workstation in my office. But at home, it's perfect for reading research papers thanks to the high resolution display, the fact that I ca

Uh, yep? If you're using your phone for reading or some such, it is perhaps at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal, or even less. If you're sneaking a creep shot, the angle is much greater. You can always tell when someone is clic

I would have said that the de-integration of Google+ from YouTube was a good example of them learning from their mistakes, except fucking Allo shows that they're still rather clueless about a lot of things related to people communicati

That's where the discussion right here on HN is helping :) One could argue that that is also a positive thing to have come out of the article having been written in the first place!

Or perhaps it is genuinely useful? Music is an interest of mine, but not an active obsession. I've learned songs I want to play only through tabs, because every time I attempted to learn sheet music online, I ran away out of the fear o

I work at CERN. We work on a cooling system that has found uses on satellites and also the International Space Station. Now, it would be wrong to say that CERN invented this. More that there was sufficient need at both CERN and in satelli

Um, I get the idea that you're arguing that the government is tracking your movements when you're in public transit? You're a bit on your own with that level of tin-foil hattedness I'm afraid. Dealing with such severe pa

I really have a hard time understanding this kind of attitude. No one is advocating that you _don't_ own a car. Cars were a great invention, they've reduced the size of our world, and genuinely made life better, no doubt. But an e
