Huh? Second-best graphics card (GeForce 680) is $550 these days. Xbox 360 was $300/$400 depending which version you chose. PS3 was $500/$600 and I really can't imagine next generation being significantly more than that. Or were you talking

Until new consoles are released? It's not like Crytek is small company that no one ever heard about - they're well known, they have released games on current generations and I'm sure they have preliminary hardware of next-gens.

I really don't think this is direct response to Wii U tablet controller, and if it is - it's not a very good one. Wii U tablet has buttons and screen in one device you hold in your hands - I can't imagine constantly switching between 'tra

I think he's trying to say more or less: "boy, they sold 3 million of those without any kind of support for apps, imagine how many would they sell if they would run apps!". That said, iPhone was selling like crazy even before 2.0, so I'm no

You could say the same for Google - why would they need a browser?

I'm really baffled by all those people saying that they will stop using Opera if FB acquires them. I mean - okay, If they start modifying it to send your data to Facebook without way to opt-out - sure, do that. If they start showing ads in

You could have your iPhone docked in some kind of stereo system and have bazillion gigabytes of music that don't fit on iPhone, or just don't want to get up to change the music. I don't think it's used to stream to iOS devices so they can p

Why? It's not interactive, it's basically projector with cardboard cut-out playing looped video - I don't see why that would necessitate background check (that said, whole idea of background check is kind of foreign concept to me, since I

You could argue that core UX for Facebook is news feed, rather then profile pages.

Note: I listen to Talk Show only occasionally, I'm more of Hypercritical guy. So, Dan wanted an iOS app for some time now (year? more?) - and he was working with Black Pixel ( http://blackpixel.com ) on that. We don't know exactly why, but

Dan was talking about iOS app for long, long time - it was (presumably) nearly finished, but never released - app that was released recently is new project/rewrite of the old one. Now we know what happened with that version.

I don't know whether it's my Mountain Lion install, particular version of Chrome/Opera/Firefox - but there is one reason why I use Safari - its butter-smooth scrolling. Seriously, I was pretty huge Opera fanboy - but then I switched over to

It means that it's the only one that comes bundled with Office - of course you'll be able to install Office on Windows 8, but you will have to purchase it separately.

Could you please elaborate on that? I'm genuinely curious - I'm not "hardcore gamer" anymore, but I'm still fairly interested in games - but I didn't know that "professional gaming" became zero-income occupation. What happened?

You post million different things on your Facebook and Twitter timeline. You have links, random thoughts, quotations, discussing with other people etc. etc. Add people inevitably complaining 'Dude, you're posting 5 pictures of your cat EVER

Because Facebook is to people what RSS is to blogs. I have all (well, not all, but you get the gist.) info in single place. That's mostly it.

I'm not sure why - Google Glasses are certainly relevant to Hacker News, and I think few people would argue about Instagram.

First Xbox was Pentium III PC with GeForce 3 Ti, all on single board in nice (that's debatable, but I liked it.) case, yet I don't think there were more ports than there are today.

I don't know whether you're serious, but iPhone 3GS is $1 on AT&T (on-contract, I know.).

That would explain it, thanks. It seems it actually links to your facebook/twitter from your profile page, at least it does on webapp, I'm not sure how it is on mobile. I think that's wrong default and should be changed.

But how would you cross reference it? From my usage of 4sq (which is limited, I only installed it maybe week ago.), when you check in to venue, and someone else is already there, you get "There are 3 persons already there!", with their avat

How is this techically possible? I was under impression that foursquare doesn't share your full public profile (including your twitter and/or facebook) when you show up in 'x is also here:'. I get it how it can look up girls that are nearby

I was always under impression that SFTP has much more in common with SCP, than with FTP. Is that wrong?

That may be true for math and CompSci research, but I think you'd have rather hard time convincing panel of, say, climatologists to learn LaTeX and git.

I'm sorry, my English is failing me during this conversation, but I'll try to be more precise. I certainly don't think that's reasonable think to say. That part was more like "Fuck, I could actually say something like this, and this is BAD.
