So they lost the ability to comment and moved further away from the reddit/HN tight text view (which they used to look like and have been steadily moving away from) and now look like a messy news page. Is anyone else finding this new redesi

I don't understand why people are so focused on Facebook's ad revenue and it's supposed unsustainability, since Google has been around longer, are way bigger, and you know what? The overwhelming majority of their income is also from online

You can really picture Apple lawyers like evil wizards from Lord of The Rings all laughing heartily about this before launching a new swath of attacks on their enemies... I mean competitors?

You don't get it. By "not discriminating" you are essentially discriminating against everyone who isn't in the majority. People are not these ideal unxenophobic people. You say you grew up in a black neighborhood but I'm going to guess you

What if (somewhat borrowing an idea from PG actually, but I think this might be a bit more feasible) big tech companies started retaliating against trolls and lawyers who support them by banning them from their services. These guys (lawyer

The RAM argument amuses me since it has twice the RAM of the xbox360 and the PS3. And a dedicated console has different RAM requirements than a generic OS box. Also games have forever been making due with what RAM is available. The DVD/blu

That's the terribly hard thing about building a worthwhile community and what draws us all here. You need some strong nucleus and just as you don't know me from jack, I don't know you either. PG founded this place initially and that drew

I agree wholeheartedly and that's why I was so shocked and sad and dismayed to read the comment thread here. It seems like the spirit of HN is drying up and dying. :( Community growth is hard to manage and HN has done amazingly well avoidi

I would suggest that you "don't get it". There are a lot of different markets for gaming, not just insanely high end. For $100 these guys are offering everything on android on the big screen with a gamepad. Maybe you fail to realise how

It's interesting how negative the original HN thread is. Everything from "it's too underpowered" to straight up "Gaming on android is a sad, laggy affair" and calling them "amateurs". What is up with that? HN is supposed to be about the cut

It really demonstrates (imho) the technical lag of companies: During the week people are browsing at work and it looks like many are still shackled to IE. But on the weekend they go home and use what they want, and that is clearly chrome.
