The screen separation issue is a very widespread issue of the very first batch -- I got such an affected unit. It always seems to be the left or upper left, and clearly relates to the adhesive applicator. I have zero doubt that they've iron

There already are a large number of mostly ignored TLDs (.info anyone?). Everyone wants .com's. I would argue that for most users domain names simply aren't important anymore. When I want to go to the website for, say a local bicycle shop,

As someone who has experience in having to get apps to run on almost all Android phones it is a very painful experience. Would you mind giving some product names? Just curious to understand your perspective.

This may depend on a variety of things, such as the job location and desired skill level, but this blanket statement is false. The blanket statement was a personal observation about our own hiring, so I can assure you with complete convic

I'm not sure of his reasoning, but he is not saying that Windows 8 is a catastrophe for users directly. I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the mar

And it's a catastrophe for users if third party markets like Steam don't fit seamlessly into the future of Windows.

I'm not sure I buy the heat hypothesis either. I encountered this issue very quickly when running a Tegra game: Tegra games aren't particularly demanding, but rather they exploit additional shader features. Other games and activities that h

They do it because hyperventilating articles get clicks. Just look at this submission -- how many of us clicked it just to see what astonishing, competition-destroying patent Apple was granted? Oh, a scrollbar that disappears. Okay... Of co

Microsoft paid $6.2 billion in cash for aQuantitive. That asset is now worthless. That is very real red ink, even though the actual accounting for it is occurring years later. It is a massive squandering of assets.

Ahh okay that makes sense. Very nice then. I was thinking more of the Truecrypt variety, but Encfs sounds ideal (albeit not really a file system).

Apple isn't immune to the patent game either. What if any of the countless assaults on Apple succeed? There are a lot of what ifs. There are millions of patents in play.

What an utterly asinine response, as if a random HNer is going to force a reexamination. However their point is, it seems, that once Apple tries to leverage this it will be forced into re-examinations. Apple has forfeited a number of patent

What are the other elements? That it's dominated by a screen? We know it isn't thickness or aspect ratio, or logos on the back, or home screen appearance. The patent in question is literally a rounded corner rectangle.

The #1 justification for authoring any sort of technical tome – and this has been the case for decades – is that it gains you credibility and respect in a field. If you want to consult, or are looking for senior positions, etc, get a book w
