Ugh, it would just be easier to sell the vuln than try to inform one of these clueless dinosaur companies about it. I know why companies like Amex build these giant fortresses around their communications, but they should be more cognizant o

Fair point on what is "mainstream". I was thinking in a US-centric way, I admit. Here the two best selling phones are iPhones (as far as I know). But after thinking about this more, I just don't think it is helpful to analogize to the iPod.

You're right, Apple does use specs when they make Apple look good. This is marketing we're talking about, after all. And checklists certainly are helpful when the presence or absence of a particular feature really does matter. But I just

Hell no. Maybe it's childish, but I just assume every one of them is a Goatse link. Probably at least 40% of them actually are. While I was at SXSW this year, I realized how easy it would be to print up a bunch of QR codes that point to wha

What you're really saying is that the total cost of owning the device is more than just the purchase price. I agree -- so how would an iPhone nano help?

The iPhone is already mainstream. And the 3GS is now free, it doesn't get more affordable than that.

Ah yes, the good old feature checklist comparison. Because that tells a customer so much about what it's actually like to use the thing they're buying. Strange how customer-satisfaction rates (or anything of the like) don't show up in the

Just the other day there was a discussion on HN about how the biggest uses of time on the iPad are email and web browsing. This doesn't have email and it remains to be seen how well the "cloud web browser" thing works in practice.

One of the people in the article says he's worked in other warehouse jobs before, and was never treated like a piece of crap (his words) until he worked at the Amazon warehouse. So there is a claim that this warehouse in particular is worse

Fortunately for the rest of us, Gruber's writing is much more insightful than yours.

Eh, you can always drop dimes anonymously if you know something. (I mean, you can now. Hopefully that will remain possible.) And there will always be people who talk to the police; they're just people with a tenuous understanding of risk ve

Or, at the very, very, very least, could that terrible error page contain a link to the front page?

Since the start, the only piece of info I've had in there is a mailinator address and a password I don't use anywhere else. They can get breached all day for all I care.

I feel like there is too much attention paid these days to who badmouthed your precious programming language, or whether your language has the appropriate amount of respect, or whatever. I'm a C# dev, sometimes. People have been hating on i

I have a feeling that this could just be a blip on the radar and Netflix's business is actually OK long-term, but I am one of the people who quit when they announced the price hike. Not because I didn't want to pay more, but because it was

The tech community deserve everything we get for letting this idiot clown rise to the top of our field. I wish I could stop hearing about him, but of course that will never happen.

I disagree, it is dying, though slowly as I say. Regardless of what Google is doing, the two top-selling smartphones and the best-selling tablet by far do not have Flash. These devices now have a huge install base, and that undermines what

Before the iPhone it seemed like everyone agreed that Flash sucked, but after iOS that was taken to be some kind of Apple fanboy position. Which is to say, plenty of people with no particular allegiance to Apple have been unhappy with Flash

I think that kind of culture is going to be a problem for any employee who wants to take time off, regardless of whether there is a limit. Also, when it comes to taking time off, you have to just suck it up and do it. Our work ethic makes u

This is how my company works too, and I think it's a great idea, assuming that the culture isn't one where people are belittled for taking vacations. If the culture causes people to feel a complex about taking time off, people will just res

I enjoyed the original $99 one-day conference, I thought it was a great idea. Really didn't care about the crappy wifi, food, or coffee.

That was my thought too. I can't use this advice because I'm not supposed to be talking to little girls in the first place.

I agree that "function" is too long, but I'm not a huge fan of these arrow keywords because they're not very easy to type. But something like TextExpander would make a simple fix.

Why should I have to grok a text editor? Up, down, left and right should get me around and if they don't, I'm not the one who's wrong. "You guys just don't understand why I eat dirt. I'm on a higher plane of existence and you just don't

Yes, precisely. This only applies if you were forced to work the long hours, as opposed to doing it because you felt like it.
