Obviously, he cared more about quality than size.

Not electronics quality but amount. And from that I drew a (simplified, yes) conclusion that more electronics => more processing => better picture.

Americans buy their cars by cupholders. And monitors by input ports. ;)

Thank you for pointing that out. Corrected.

The explosion of IPS panels is because LG figured out how to make them really cheaply. And those economic, low-quality variants are called e-IPS and I have absolutely no doubt that we're dealing with one here. (Despite the fact that specs o

OK, so let's bring this hype down to Earth. For this kind of money this can only be an e-IPS monitor. (The specs on e-bay say S-IPS, but it's certainly a lie.) For those who don't differentiate between the different variants of IPS, e-IPS i

At last, someone solved the great mystery! Now I can be successful, after being a loser my whole life! Seriously, who puts such stories on HN?

There's no chance of the Euro zone falling apart. The worst thing that could happen is Greece exiting the Euro zone.

Yeah, but the UK, for all intents and purposes, is a 51st US state, in terms of legal and privacy concerns. If you want to protect your startup's users, you should base your company in a country that won't extradite people on charges that a

That's funny. ;) Some Euro countries (Greece) might be on the verge of implosion, but there's no way the general currency could suffer any significant damage and Germany is the very reason for that. The German economy is among the most powe

Wiretapping sounds so innocent. Of course, all US comms must be available for lawful wiretaps in fight against crime. No, what we're dealing with here is a dragnet cast upon the comms of users around the world, who aren't protected by US Co

Can't wait for the Anonymous to hack and publish McDonalds' mail systems. As a side benefit, we might learn what kind of turd they're feeding to people.

The Content Industries and their supporters are a threat to the intellectual and cultural lives of our societies and the development of the human civilization. They need to be liquidated using all possible means within the bounds of law. Po

There's only one appropriate comment that sums up both this news item and the state of Digg in general: Who cares.

A little Entreporn is good as a source of inspiration and ideas. You just need to set a very tough limit of how much time you spend reading this stuff. (During an initial week or two it should be zero, because you have to learn to fight the

Good to know, thanks. Where did you learn about that? BTW, did the stream suddenly die? Or did they finish or go into recess when I wasn't watching?

The Committee hearing is happening RIGHT NOW. You can see the topics and watch a LIVE VIDEO here: http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/Markups%202012/mark_0710... Note: As can be seen on the topic list, there are a number of different topi

How would you do it then? I mean, if you wanted to implement a 3d spatial db like that yourself?

The true problem with PHP is that people waste enormous amount of time writing about what's wrong with PHP. And others - on reading this stuff and voting it up on news sites so that it occupies precious front page real estate. Don't like it

Now, compare that to Putin's pipe dreams of creating his own version of Silicon Valley in Russia. Obviously, even he can't be that stupid. So it's all PR, Putin doesn't want Russia to go anywhere, he just loves presiding over the vast crimi

Apparently, after failing to present any valuable innovation since the original Wii, Nintendo has a death wish. (i.e. They invite the fate of Sony, which received a very painful blow from Anonymous for chasing GeoHotz, the PS3 hacker.)

I just hope someone doesn't come up with the stupid idea that this story is not tech related and kill it on HN. As many "hackers" work on the next farting iPhone app or the next photo-sharing service that will leverage your social graph to

I still use Winamp (with an old-skool theme). There's no better mp3 player for Windows. It's light, has just the right amount of interface, no media library bull crap (doesn't force you to use one, anyways).

The funny thing is that PayPal was originally intended to provide safe, transnational money exchange beyond the control of governments. (Somewhat like Bitcoin today.) So they wanted to be a solution to a problem. Now PayPal is part of the p
