The video indicated that the binding for the book was being cut off. I suspect that will prevent students from borrowing books from the library, getting them scanned via this service, and returning them. It is sad that many hundreds of thou

Your third paragraph reminded me of grad school!

Aha! That's how he did it. I couldn't figure out how commenting worked. He does have a comment count link at the top of the page. Is that fragment from Disqus also?

I concur. The first iPad was ridiculously well done in my opinion. However, one should remember that it was essentially the same software on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Consider the folders thing. Or background tasks. Apple usually releases

1) It is actually worse than having to compete with the best programmers in the world. Rapid development tools and high level abstractions have created the same sort of "level playing field" as the handgun did (i.e. a small weak guy with a

Don't let the title fool you. This is a really nice article and worth some reflection. There is a google+ discussion thread as well: https://plus.google.com/u/1/113698589973698283456/posts/ShxT...

I thought you were going to end it with something else ... the two sons got massive reverse mortgages on their land. Commodity prices collapsed after the bountiful harvest and the bank ended up foreclosing.

The iTunes software sucks quite badly. Don't get me started. However, the end-user experience for downloading videos from iTunesU and playing it on an iOS is excellent. It is almost a one-click experience. This is just my opinion as a user.

I see your point about not having access to the iTunes content on Linux. Fair point that should be addressed. That said, I'm a big fan of iTunesU. I like the ability to download courses on my iOS devices and listening to the lectures on tra

I bought it at the original price and on the first day. Right off the bat, I felt the build quality was crappy. The console itself was very bulky, and the non-game software felt slow and unresponsive. The 3D hurt by eyes so I ended up havin

Wow ... our own TA! That would be neat. I just started watching this course on iTunesU and was wishing I had someone to ask basic clarification questions to. Would using Convore be appropriate for this purpose? EDIT: I created one ... ml-c

I've used Convore at a few hackathons and conferences, and was very impressed. As a user, I loved the product. I'm looking forward to her talk!

Thanks for the clarification. While MSI is considered the successor of the original Motorola, you are absolutely correct. I didn't realize that the cell infrastructure division(s) got sold (used to work on CDMA base-stations a decade a go).

Motorola != Motorola Mobility. Motorola Mobility is a recent spin-off from Motorola and encompasses the original company's handset business as well as its related patent portfolio. What does Motorola do? Well ... cellular infrastructure is

Have you visited Silicon Valley??? There is a good saying "the only thing holding yourself back is yourself". If you are a reasonably competent programmer, you will find work in the Valley. There are dozens of large companies and there are

Actually, I had trouble figuring out what to say that's non-offending when someone sneezes. I ended up picking "Gazuntite", which means health (pls. don't ask why I need to say anything at all). Also, there is a hilarious south park episode

A bit.ly link prevents a HN reader from figuring out where the link is going to send him/her. When there is a limitation of 144 characters, URL shortners make a lot of sense. I got the feeling that people generally don't prefer them on HN.

Thanks for taking notice Matt. Let me start by giving some kudos. I had a chance to use a GUI tool that lets a developer test FB API calls. I'm not sure if this is officially released yet but it was a fantastic tool and a step in the right

I am highly skeptical. 1) 1 litre of fuel doesn't get you that far. 2) Was the entire course programmed into the plane? This is non-trivial given that high winds would likely push a small little plane off course. 3) Article claims that GPS

It is an interesting analysis and I hope he is right. One of the comments on his post articulate my big fear: "This time IS different Phil. The western world’s economy has yet to deleverage. What was a housing / credit crisis is now a globa

The sister of a friend was also fired the week after she informed her employer that she was pregnant. Of course, these folks didn't explicitly say she was fired because she was pregnant (this is in the US, specifically in Texas). I was surp
