Some people buy iPads simply because it's a novel gadget in the same way hobbyists get into cars, photography or bbq grills. Folks who get serious about their hobbies tend to "gear up" on accessories and markets often thrive on the "prosume

Random contextual side note: Colin Moock has been contributing to the webdev world since the late 90s ( http://www.moock.org/webdesign/ ) mostly focused on Actionscript. Back when people thought web development was a joke (and not flash), h

Agreed. The consumer models just aren't quite at the inflection point yet. I've been watching the Roland IModela but it's just not at the right price yet thought it's slowly getting there. http://technabob.com/blog/2011/10/10/imodela-3d-mi

Some of my best bosses have done this in different ways and it's super inspiring. I know it's a ridiculous amount of work in and of itself but it's something that becomes absolutely priceless to those who were involved. For those who are ma

No. Video said this was designed exclusively for the iPad. That also means no iPhone version either.

I laughed a tiny bit when reading this comment because it highlights one of the points of the post. If the blog you're referring to was written (or repeated) by one of the internet personalities mentioned here, we probably would have rememb

I think this will depend on what role you play. As someone who's technical, 3-4 hours is the minimum for sure but if you're responsible for business relationships (like making sure you try to sign an artist every day) then 1-2 hours sounds

Glad to see hardware startups getting press. Hardware startups like these, being bound largely by physics, don't get to boast vanity metrics like traditional web-software startups. It's refreshing to see numbers that translate pretty closel

Good on you! Having spent some time in hospitals with loved ones recently, I think broadcast TV (like cable) will continue to thrive until someone does a fantastic job of making a "channel lineup" application for on-demand media. I tried to

Side question: why do you think so many coders prefer electronic music to be productive? Based on the comments here, electronic music (whether it's ambient, trance or dubstep) appears to be the assumed genre.

If you're really interested in buying one, there are a few kickstarter projects trying to break the sub $1000 market via RepRap designs. Here's one: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/printrbot/printrbot-your...

Very true. I think I'm disappointed because we (HN) lack a good marketable answer to your last question there. I would not forward this thread to a photographer if asked "what do hackers recommend I do to mitigate my work being ripped off?"

Check out http://www.spreeder.com/app.php?intro=1 where they take a sentence or paragraph and "play" each word in the same spot on the screen, eliminating the need to move your eyes. It would be interesting to see if there are any signifi

Great point. Most of the popular open source projects in the JS space (jquery or node.js for instance) have a person that serves as the voice of the projects. I think if someone from the webOS dev team stepped up to take that role, I'd be a

I just went to the CloudContacts order page and seeing that I type my credit card info straight on that page scared me. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm an engineer but even if it said "Powered by Stripe", I'd still be suspicious... I was r

When someone figures this out, they should sell the reasoning to HP. I haven't wanted to buy a printer in a long time even though $99 will get me a wifi capable touch screen fax/scanner/printer/copier these days.

I was curious who was driving the development of this and noticed the author is the CTO of Ludei.com, a company that's pushing for HTML5 as a universal game dev platform. They author a product called CocoonJS that then converts your CAAT pr

Check out Autodesk 123D ( http://www.123dapp.com/ ) They're targeting hobbyists (software is completely free) that want a sketchup-like environment. They even provide a 3d printing service for you to upload STL files to.

I'm going thru something similar right now with a loved one and my experience is the same. Patient-Doctor (or in our case Patient Party-Doctor) rapport is the most important thing to a better outcome. Doctors are far more willing to listen

What about international calls? Does the Sprint iPhone4s natively support using google voice when dialing an international number from the regular phone app or do I have to launch the GV app and get a proxy number?
