These points could apply to most e-readers, they are too generic to lead to a specific product. From the title I thought that will be a post on the technical superiority of Kindle over other readers.

I completely agree with that. But it seems that his "supporters" were invited at waves to give his post a boost.

This could be ok if he was doing an experiment about HN. These tricks of asking your buddies to upvote and retweet seems against the spirit of HN. I would be interested to see what the other HNers think.

Thanks.I am currently using gmail but I never set up my external accounts. The only limitation that I see on that is that at the moment we cannot use it offline. I am reading that this will be coming with HTML5. But I am not sure.

I am sorry for my brief post. I am talking from the perspective of the user. Of course hearing the view of the developers would be very interesting. I am on ubuntu and I would like a lighter alternative to Thunderbird for my netbook. I thin

It is finally out. I guess we will be living with that for some time. I do not mean to be grumpy but something with a bit more curves would be more appealing or representative of the new design era.

I posted something along similar lines sometime ago and this pattern. Pretty successful sites with 'bare bones' interface/design but rather well planned from a usability perspective as you point out. I was even thinking of accomplished or e

"Eligible Kindle books can be loaned once for a period of 14 days" Does any one know if lending dead-tree books is legal? It sounds ridiculous I know but is not it outrageous that you can not lend your own e-book to whomever you want for as

From the article the author seems a well balanced woman, that reflects on her life. The 'splashy' title of her original article was not chosen by her as she mentions in the interview. I guess this interview will be also the last part of thi

I would be curious to see similar posts for Octave and OpenOffice. I am really happy that they exist but "inadequate" would be a fair word to describe both. Comparing of course with Matlab and MS Office .
