Bumblebee was a life-saver when I got my Lenovo T520 and first learned about Optimus, but note that link is out of date now. He's forked off that to start again with "Ironhide", while there's another fork that's aiming to maintain bumblebe

I love how the use of "hacker-news orange" (#f60) instantly makes things look hacker-ish now! (Might just be for me)

I've been thinking about this recently, and I'm not sure if the initial gold-rush of users wouldn't be just as bad. The risk there as I see it is everyone joining en-masse, kicking the tyres, and leaving again -- accompanied by a slew of a

Since a few people have commented on finding out via HN rather than Dropbox directly (as did I), I thought I'd post that I received an email from them just then. In my case though it included "we noticed some potentially suspicious activity

Great read, thanks. Incidentally, the link at the end 404s: http://blog.bufferapp.com/tagged/building_buffer (looks like it should be http://blog.bufferapp.com/category/building-buffer )

I am absolutely a fan of the technology, but much less so of the sport. I suppose my issue/question is: how do you enjoy all that just watching it on TV? (This is actually a serious question; are there for example real-time websites that

I was a little surprised, but then talking to people on the phone is much more well- so more likely to get immediate inter-generational and mainstream acceptance than social networking. Facebook is only just gaining mainstream adoption, al

Thank you very much. I'm curious about the engineering process slowing development down, if you're able to comment on that. I've heard before that Google's need to build for scale from the start can occasionally be an impediment to rapi

The back button was also the most jarring thing for me when I first got an android phone, from memory. The main irritation was when you hit back several times to "close" apps in a chain... until you got the browser, when suddenly it starts
