He was right, and everyone knew it. Research funding dried up, programs shut down, and autonomous driving receded back to the future. It seems perhaps that this was a self fulfilling prophecy as we'll never know how much closer we could b

It's because they are shutting down iTunes Connect (the site through which developers manage their apps on the store) from December 23rd to the 29th. Here is the e-mail I got: "iTunes Connect will be temporarily shut down from Thursday, Dec

It would be interesting to see if the "Gift This App" feature gets much use as this will be the first Christmas since the feature was implemented. I have only seen one of my apps gifted so far.

Seems like much of this review is describing how, "once you get over problems X, Y and Z", it's very close to being like an iPhone.

I think they are a benefit to HN, and I think that allowing comments would be even more beneficial as I stated in my comment below. You may be right, but the people wanting comments may also be right but we'll never know unless the experime

Which is why it helps to have a company name so you can do some investigation beyond the job posting to see if there is something that remotely interests you about the company. At the least you could find a webpage that has some marketing s

So at what point is someone "cybersquatting" if they reserve a name in advance of developing a product? It doesn't sound like "The Russian" set out to squat on the name solely hoping to get someone to pay up but did take advantage of the si

"You can't transfer names between accounts, so unless you buy an account for each name, you can't sell it." What you can do is delete your app, which will then release the name for use by others.

But a few weeks later, when we were almost ready to submit Osmos (for iPhone) we tried the submission process again and - lo and behold - the name Osmos was available! We’re not sure what happened actually, but we suspect we owe someone at

I have a scooba and it works well for cleaning floors but seems kind of overkill unless you have a lot of floor to clean. Also I have gone through two sets of batteries as they tend to wear out if not used regularly and stored in the robot.

For California, you can often find out who's having layoffs by looking at the WARN notices: http://www.edd.ca.gov/jobs_and_training/layoff_services_warn... I imagine other states have their own listings as well.

I wonder why, instead of X-rays and pat-downs they don't just use dogs. I would trust that a dog would be able to detect a bomb on a person much more readily than a person who's eyes are glazed over after looking at the nth person's scan or

If the excerpt given in the original post is any indication, the wording of the passages is probably too general to be of any direct effect but there is some evidence that forming what are known as "implementation intentions" does have some
