I think Flattr is the most promising way forward as a source of non-ad revenue for websites as it doesn't require explicit user interactions once set up, it just runs in the background, tracks what you consume, and then automagically d

Unlike almost every other 3D WebGL (or Canvas) demo that gets posted on HN, smartphones were clearly given due consideration and hence this demo works beautifully in Chrome on my ageing Galaxy S6, including dragging around and using a zoom

Aha, I was viewing it at https://outline.com/xX7xe3 but in fact his name IS present and hyperlinked in the original article, so it's Outline.com that's at fault. UPDATE: I've reported the issue to Outline.com

The very first sentence of the article - "On March 1, 1995, fired off an email to his friends." - is not a valid sentence, it's missing the subject! facepalm

One of my old phones (the Treo 650 I think) had one of those sockets, and using an adapter to plug in 3.5mm earphones was pretty irritating.

Are you sure that wasn't to dampen vibrations which might affect (or even themselves be caused by) spinning the disk and movements of the read head? (Same reason there's concrete blocks in the base of a washing machine)

Well said. It's hard to find ethical jobs. But that's not an excuse for working for evil companies instead. The world needs more ethical companies. Seek them out, join them, help them prosper. Please make the world a better place

But those are just apps, not the OS and there are any number of replacement dialler, messaging and email apps for Android - are you suggesting that NONE of them are as good as the Windows Phone default apps?
