When I read this title I get hopeful for the following which probably won't happen -Buy a car, get 3 years unlimited free 3G internet for your car -Hot spot capabilities -Access to TV (for the back seat) and Radio apps (Pandora in the car!

For the most part yes but, what about ideas that are extremely simple but not so obvious? As in, some competitor with the resources can shell out a feature in maybe a few months, but a team of 2 would take about a year. Is that valid ground

Funny how we always want more when we're given something. I'd like to see what the add-ons do to page loads and also the same for Chrome.

Agreed. I've learned that the only times I can't learn on my own is when the text itself is incompetent at teaching. Sometimes though there are some amazing lecturers that deserve your full attention.

To my experience, Facebook has a rather efficient algorithm that monitors who you show interest in and then populate your feed with what they consider relevant information. In the case that your feed does get junk, there's a reason why it's

I don't have this problem. None of my friends have this problem. It looks to me more like user error of adding people you don't know and adding spam apps than it is Facebook's problem.

With 600 million users you can't just generalize a noticeable trend in your personal account to reflect that of others. If anything, my Facebook feed has been more active than ever. View a friend's profile and FB will know you show interest

I once spoke to an industry veteran when I was still in college and his advice rings to me real well. He said that it's very easy to just work for the man coming out of college. In our particular market, it's easy to follow recruiting strat

I've attempted to stay at an AirBnB several times. It definitely feels like a niche market. I use it because I think it's cheaper. But, people on AirBnB(the ones that seem safe) seem to charge regular hotel rates that I end up choosing a ho

My problem with buzz is that it uses my Email address as my social network. Am I alone or is it common that there's a pretty big barrier between personal email and social account?

If you've been lurking on HN for a while I suggest taking the many resources you've seen and hastily get into mobile app development. Of course my real advice is to just follow anything you're passionate about. If you love what you do you'l

I'm not a Googler, but I know many and yes, Google pays well, they work on very very interesting problems. Ex-Googler does have a ring to it when you apply for jobs. There are awesome benefits like amazing facilities and lunch everyday, on-

This is great! I'd really like to see RIM step up and do the same considering half their talent comes from Waterloo.

According to the terms, Amazon's only allowing DRM free music. Also, Dropbox has got https://droptun.es/login Although I think the real comparison is between Amazon and bigger players like iTunes and Google Drive.

That and the Cloud Player can be accessed on Android devices. Meta info wins me over. It's frustrating to see inconsistent meta tags on things like Grooveshark.

At some of the big companies I've worked for in industry, there is such a segregation between cubicles and closed office doors that I find my remote side projects much more productive and efficient.

I feel that the fact that OP mentioned the time, it was supposed to be read as a grand feat, which it wasn't. But if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.

I find the title kind of exaggerated considering Google I/O sold out in less than an hour.

This is devastating news to me. With TMO, my sister and I can add on my parents for free, get unlimited tethering, and unlimited family texting for $10. Knowing AT&T, I probably won't be able to keep this plan.

True, most of the time I really don't have to worry about IE. Occasionally, though, I'll have a job with 40%+ IE visitors. Those times, I really have to make things look right, and it's always something hacky.

Though most of you are probably thinking this is bad for RIM and shows how desperate they are (they should be, Playbook vs iPad 2), I'll probably fall in the small percentage that this actually keeps me with RIM. It sounds opposite but I st
