Your next step: boycott Fitbit and make it known you are doing this because of the shutdown of pebble. EDIT: Also, this is my last post on YC. So Pebble's CEO is joining YC. And being critical of innovation killing deals by the boys on

This is so sad. I had the new time2 with the core on kickstarter. This would have been a truly innovative product, why oh why? I see on crunchbase they had only raised 15M-- so theres G$ available for a nth round of evernote or dropbox and

sit the guy in a room. Fire up sublime, emacs, vim, or whatever IDE. Give him an hour to write an app in C++ to solve something trivial that he does not know in advance, such as the 8 queens problem. End of debate. The guy most likely canno

Conspiracy theory warning: might I ask, is there a remote possibility that this is a coordinated attempt by both parties at making the world feel safe about iOS, while this backdoor already exists? Like the allies and decrypted enigma data

Funny, just bought a Samsung range there, delivered for free yesterday, best price in town for this unit. A few automated delivery date confirmation calls too many, otherwise great experience. I hope the Koreans have a higher standard then

I WANT TO SAY: thanks wired for the new anti-adblock campaign. You just saved me 10 minutes of my life reading about bee beheading hornets. Now back to programming.

How hard would it be to semi machine-generate such vacuous articles? Would it make sense for the ad value of eye balls? Maybe if such generation becomes common place a shift in value bringing back better curation and editorial lines in soci

The real cook has left the kitchen, for good. Honestly could we have really expected anything else, over time? Do you remember Apple in the Scully to Amelio days? Barbarians at the gates, again.
