Ah, yes, I completely forgot that the Huffington Post is completely infallible and that everything published on that website is complete and total fact and certainly not opinion. I do not think "pretty" is objectifying in the slightest. "

I admit, the suicide part was far-fetched, but tell me once that you'd like to sit in front of a computer all day, absorbing knowledge endlessly. No food. No walking. No sleeping. No sex. Tell me that you would want that. Who wants to be a

Is this seriously the future? Where people are so lazy they can't use any strength at all to open a fridge or pressing a goddamn button to open a garage? Guess I should have seen it coming. I'll commit suicide long before this kind of "te

But then you get all of the baggage that comes along with an open system. Android is not stable in the slightest, which is odd as it does use the Linux kernel, but it still is; even on 4.2. I still get hangs, freezes, and crashes. The syste

While misogyny has gone on for centuries and needs to be stopped, obsessing over two (relatively) harmless jokes that aren't sexual in the slightest pales in comparison to the genuine problem, which is verbal abuse and sexism, as clearly

What seems more suspicious is why the termination of an employee would be so public -- on all major social networks -- rather than a formal dismissing on the website or to a reporter. Perhaps I'm uneducated on the topic, but it still seems

Work is actually being done about it. See the Etoile project: http://etoileos.com/ But I agree, GNUstep is so much better than GNOME/GTK, both as a development environment and as a working environment. I wish there were more developers wo

I think that rather than dumbing down UIs in favor of general usability (which is what is suggested here), having a more complex UX with better documentation is paramount. Dumbing down the user experience does nobody any good, because as so

I actually used a Toshiba Tecra a long time ago (circa 2005) that had a pointing stick with response very close to a TrackPoint. I don't think it would be impossible; only difficult.

Solution: Black overcoat, black pants, black fedora, sunglasses, and mustache. Fake or real, it doesn't matter. There's no way any eraserhead-sized camera sensor could detect your face that way.

You may see the device as "nothing more than a featureless MacBook with a fixed web browser", but I see a future of computing -- a thin client with an ultra-crisp display and great industrial design. Like it or not, the cloud is the future.

What's kind of ridiculous is that LayerVault took a lot of inspiration (I repeat, A LOT) from Hacker News with regards to the design of their discussion site. From the URL, the minimalism, and the link design. Heck, even the name is copied
