Oops, deleted my similar comment I submitted simultaneously. But yes, that $9000 figure is lazy math. It would be $9100 for a full year of 35 subscribers. Considerably less for 3 months (like $2100), and that's assuming all 35 subscribers s

I've created a poll to find out how common it is to ask friends to upvote submissions. If it really is common behavior, then maybe something does need to be done about this. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1075931

A number of the ubiquitous Tablet rumor articles have quoted inside sources as saying the way you interact with it will be what is revolutionary about it. The patent proposals described in this post would seem to bear that out. (And would b

This was one of the most thorough Apple articles I've read in a long, long time. It demonstrated a really strong grasp of the way Apple runs their business and how they decide what information to share and how they share it. The advice was

The artist should hook it up to a microblogging service so that it can keep a log of the auction winners. It could be a very exclusive club to be in.

I don't suppose this means that subscribers will get a version without banner ads. In the same way that newspapers have historically sold their print version for less than it cost to publish and made their money off print ads and classified

I made the switch to Dvorak over a 2-week holiday break just under 10 years ago. I may have eventually boosted my speed marginally, but I can say my hands don't get tired or sore typing for long periods as they did on Qwerty. The only con

If they have no action to take, does it really matter what they say? More relevant will be what Microsoft does in response, since Yahoo is basically out of the China search game.

I agree that this is the way things are headed, and I will be all too happy to jump on this bandwagon. The only thing keeping me from cutting the cord (or ditching the dish, in my case) is live sporting events. I'm not a sports fanatic, but

An amazing story and both sides deserve credit for being able to reunite and reconcile. The article is a bit abrupt in describing how this all got on the BBC, though. I'd be interested to know how it went from Facebook messages to televised

"A rule of thumb that has worked well for me is that if I'm excited to play around with something, it probably doesn't belong in production." That has to be incredibly difficult to adhere to, but doing so probably saves a ton of headaches

I suppose now it becomes more of a test of whether a prominent blogger's post is enough to prompt these firms to look for his submission and respond. Certainly not representative of the average person. And the fact that the companies aren't

Agreed, the comparison of Mongo to databases as Rails is to frameworks is appropriate. I recently started playing with Mongo in a Rails app and the Array type led to an a-ha moment followed by giddy handclapping and a fair amount of code de
