There has been much debate about making customizations like these that stray from the UI guidelines. I actually like subtle customizations like these, but some more orthodox folks feel that it's a crime. In any case, it's nice to see someon

I really get a kick out of Google satellite images of China. There are a lot of oddities, such as that 1/3rd scale replica of a mountain region (assumed to be Tibetan?) with a facility nearby full of tanks/cars/etc.

The solution to cut up the $100 bills is quite smart, although I'm shocked that the user did not care to mention that it's illegal to intentionally damage money in that way. I'm sure you could play the "I didn't know" card once or twice, bu

Wow, so Douglas Adams' babelfish is real, only it's an app for iOS. Fantastic. You've got an exciting venture on your hands!

How was the author's productivity doubled? Where is the proof? How long has this been evaluated? Was it more than one day and a few strolls? It's already known that the brain is a "muscle" and thus needs rest to function properly. What I'd

I've been helping with iDroid and Bootlace, and I can tell you that a lot has progressed over the last couple of months. Power management has been a huge priority, and while some of it is there now, much more is to come. Also, it runs incre

I've seen Derek's design abilities grow over the last couple of years, and I think his post seems to sum up many of the steps he took to improve.

It's actually quite disappointing to see that the Linux kernel performance essentially never increased over 5 years. A lot of nice functionality was added, so at least the lack of a net loss is quite fantastic. I wonder if this report might

"There is no way in hell I am paying frontlist pricing for the work of a dead author whose works can be had for about a buck in used paperback." Well said and good point. I know that many publishers are justifying that they are charging nea

While it's really cute and kids are quite capable, you are taking chances in the legal realm by hiring them. In many areas, children require work permits, and sometimes the minimum age is 15. Otherwise, it's often illegal if you don't go in

Perhaps. YC has a history with TC, so I think it bothers fans of these guys as well. After all, it was posted here, and then up voted. And Calacanis is a contributing member here. None the less, I agree that my comment added nothing of valu

You can still be a geek and destroy the data in your photos. These funky photo apps give people who might ordinarily terrible at taking photos and gives them an edge. It's like a golf handicap. It adds a bit of flair and artisticness to wha

When I talk to Android users about my preference for building for the iOS store, they chastise me. When I talk to other developers, they're generally in agreeance with me (with some exceptions, namely purely hacker types not looking to make

If Android is so great, why has every single handset that I've used, including the one I own, drag and stutter when I slide my finger on various screens? iOS is flawless in this way. There are apps that don't tune their views on both platfo

Nice. Down modded for pointing out the truth. Seems there are some folks here in denial about Apple's ability to handle the entire workflow and design/manufacturing process. You don't need to be an Apple fanboy to see that Apple has got a b

I never said I wanted to be in the handset business. And frankly, there's not much money to be made in making Android apps. Android's "openness" lends to users thinking apps are not worthy of purchasing, so few paid apps are actually doing

Ooh look, a couple of millionaires whining about their little arguments. Update: Bring on the down votes, as I'm sure many of you worship these guys. I won't hold back my opinions with thoughts of losing karma. These guys are having little

You are handling this differently in that you're having a fuss over it instead of just ignoring it.

I think the minute he starts complaining about the company, is the minute it's no longer appropriate to call it his future company! Academically, he's trying to serve up a point. But he's potentially doing more damage to himself by doing so

Get to starting your own company. I'd be curious to see what comes of it.

Selling twice as many piles of low quality, poorly designed phones as premium ones is still selling twice as much garbage. At the end of the day, just because you sell more doesn't mean your product is better. This is proof of that. From a

That's right. It is the sum of our life, or possibly only a few moments, that the world may remember. We may be known for a program we wrote, or how we treated our friends, or the three movies we acted in superbly. But the thoughts and da

I have always found these salary guides to be hit or miss. Depending on where you live, these numbers can be wildly different. Also, once you do take location into account, you have to remember that the cost of living in that area is likely

I've learned that lesson the hard way too. I will from now own find it very difficult to work for anyone again, but when I do, it sure won't be more than 40-50 hours per week. In fact, I would actually get a real kick out of a 30 hour a wee

Why would you need to ban something if you already had a superior product? It's clear that this constant exclusivity of Microsoft products by executives at Microsoft is driven out of fear and acknowledgement that the fruit company might act
