You don't need approval for Symbian, Java or Windows Mobile applications. I doubt anyone would develop for Symbian if the only way to install applications was through a "Nokia store". I'm not saying that what Apple does is bad, because a co

You have to add the costs of licensing. Anyone can publish a game for PC, but you have to pay Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo to release a game for their console.

I remember reading articles in the 80s saying just that... I'm also looking forward to booking a hotel in the moon colony in a couple of years. It's not that it is impossible. We could have flying cars and moon tourists any time we want, bu

I have an old personal home page that I haven't updated in a couple of years. Yahoo crawls that page almost daily, while it has weeks since the last visit from Google.

If, in order to have an Internet radio station, you needed to negotiate with the owner of every song you wanted to play, running such a station would be prohibitively expensive. I think this can be solved using technology and micropayment

Is this supposed to go to a 404 page?

I think that would lead to dangerous situations. You would see people constantly changing lanes to try to maximize their speed. Accidents would happen more frequently.

The idea is great, but how about grouping the types of apps into sub directories? Perhaps you could separate the pure "utility" apps such as webmail, blogs, organizers and office applications from content sites like BarackObama.com and YouT

That would be a nice improvement for Hacker News. I assume that it is possible to track my votes and compare them with other users. If I voted for an article, I should get a recommendation for another article that people with similar votes

There have been scientific proof that the Earth is round for at least 2500 years. The ancient greeks even calculated the circumference of the Earth based on the position of the sun. ( http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Distances.htm ). We didn't

The ironic part of that ad is that Microsoft needs to correct their own "facts" Essentially no one during the the time of Columbus (and even centuries before) believed the world was flat. That's just a myth that people like to believe.

The page is about 1200px wide. That's a bit too much for me. I'd have browse with the window maximized to see the whole page... Perhaps you could put the search box and the browse filters on top of the page and use a vertical layout?

I doubt anyone would live for an eternity. Even if we had the techology to live for a million years, everyone would have some sort of accident before then. Perhaps you will die in a super nova accident, while visiting another galaxy in 10.0

I think the real reason is that Twitter looks so simple, that everyone thinks they can do better. Deep down, most of us think we're in the top 20%. I've thought about how I would have made Twitter, but the truth is that the Twitter problem

The author also says that it's perfectly acceptable for something to be 10x slower, because "a well-capitalized company" can afford 10x more servers... I am thinking of how to respond to that, but I don't know where to start

One of the comments mention an API that could be used to integrate it with other browsers. I hope he was right, because it would be very cool to have just one debugging tool for all of the browsers out there.

But it's a 60% premium on a very low price. It is only a good deal if the shareholders don't expect Yahoo to rise above $30. Only time will show, but I think they have the potential to climb above $30. Their deal with Google shows that they
