Nexus 4 looks interesting but a bigger screen would be nice and I could go to the Nexus 7 now that they have one with a phone option and MicroUSB for connectivity! Ah, it has no camera well a 1.2 MP front facing one but that's it. Maybe the

I think what bugs people is that the browser could be seen as tricking the user, even lying to the user; not whether the clickable link is bad but whether we should trust what the browser tells us in a very fundamental way.

Apparently it is more than just a sailing term, my bad, I thought you were using it in a playful reflective sense given the nature of age in the discussion similar to this definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jive

It's "jive" dude, as in jive turkey. I've watched and read a number of articles on how using your brain keeps it working well. Wow. Thanks modern medical science, duh.

Oh man, I'm not an Apple fan but dude, think of where Apple would be without the better Steve? Seriously? Low impact? Wow. Seriously? Really? If all programmers left all countries and started our own rockin place all you "programmers are lo

There was another article on HN recently along the same lines I think. Do something else? I thought becoming a screenwriter would be cool. I've got some great titles written down. Still I write the code for my sites sometimes help friends a

I wasn't going to complain but since someone else experienced it, they are missing for me on Google Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04.

My reason for never trying Apple products (I hope I don't get buried in down votes) but end of the day ... here goes, I just thought they (Steve not Steve) had a smug attitude. That bothered me. I guess it still does. I don't want to hold t

I tried an attempt at an answer for icedancer I think it was just now but here goes, I tried Debian years ago but the setup wasn't clicking for me. My first attempt at Linux was in 1994 with Slackware, I've tried Red Hat before the split, S

Never tried vanilla Debian or not in years. Ubuntu sold me on apt or I might not have spent more then a few months at a time on Linux like I used to do with Red Hat, SuSE, Fedora, etc.

Ubuntu still rocks but the UI is not designed for anyone but new users. The ability to add panels, right-click and edit them to add new items, the launcher has black magic under the hood that maps to what used to be desktop files stored in

I left because they went on a version roller coaster which was confusing, that broke plugins like oh Quake which was fun but important plugins in addition to that. Oh, and JavaScript was faster in Chrome, FF did improve JS speed though.

If Firefox hadn't gone on a version roller coasters ride I'd still be using it. At least they pull versions that need more attention. But, FF 16!?!?! 16!!!? Huh? My plugins stopped working long ago and I stopped taking Mozilla seriously lon

You still seem to be advancing your original point that hobby programming or side projects is an inferior pursuit relative to professional programming. McAfee was a shareware project, eBay was written by Pierre in a matter of days. I've see
