"Facebook, Twitter, reddit, the Internet itself, the iPhone, and on and on and on—most people dismissed these things as incremental or trivial when they first came out." So, are Facebook and the iPhone bettering the world right no

NetBeans is probably the best free IDE out there. I've used it before switching to Jetbrains' products which I believe are superior. Eclipse on the other hand was making me sick every time I tried to use it...

No mention of Tesla (Nikola Tesla) in the whole article? ...

The responses I got here pretty much confirm my thoughts that HN is mostly inhabited by people who are either angry, too serious, or a combination of the two. I deal with all kinds of people, but this is bad for your health, folks! :)

in·flam·ma·to·ry 1. Arousing passion or strong emotion, especially anger, belligerence, or desire. My comment was definitely not inflammatory in nature. Being the author of my comment, I'm pretty sure I have higher authority than you t

Great, but let's hope it doesn't start looking crap on regular DPI displays. You know, like those hipster websites that make your eyes bleed if you try to read them on anything other than a Retina display. "Most people I know

Pretty much what I came to say. The "smart" and "predictive" stuff is good for a handful of people with very predictable routines, who live like... machines. Most of the time, it would actually fail quite miserably. And

Well... Apple is more or less top dog now. But sooner or later a bigger fish will swim up to them :) I found the idea of Apple buying Tesla funny, because in my eyes Tesla could very well be the bigger fish in the future. Does the Chinese r
