A question to those at BB: if you're being laid off of leaving, where are you planning to head? There is a growing number of start-ups in Toronto and Montreal, and I wonder if they'd suddenly an influx of available workforce.

I think the bottom line is that all of these apps suck because of what the grand-grand-...-commenter said: it's much faster to pick up pen and paper, whereas apps take forever to launch and type things into by comparison. There's also the s

Also, what the hell is a card ? After reading the word "card" for the 5th time, even after reading the few paragraphs below the main image, I still have no clue what on earth a card is. Like an app in webOS? Or is it a game of some kind? A

If you liked it check out the Transformer Prime page: http://eee.asus.com/eeepad/transformer-prime/features/ It starts off with a typical terrible "people you would never see use an Asus product" photo and quickly gets very cool.

Because you don't always know your code base very well. I almost always use vim but when a new large project comes along I've found no better way to read through it than with a mouse.

Is it? It's tough to say whether the wording was the problem in your case without seeing the site though. Was the link visibly clickable? Was it a button? What would happen if it was a button and it had a Living Social logo on it? Bold tex

Reminds me of Garbage's "Breaking Up The Girl": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFHmn22PkKU and how it enjoys making the camera rig an active participant in the video.

As someone who never used Greplin, I'll focus on what I do like: I found the layout quite creative. The top images of the iPhone remain fully scaled to your browser width, which means the menu below is only revealed when you scroll down. Th

Fascinating. I remember that comment very well, but have forgotten about it since reading it. Thanks the reminder.

This is amazing. I was just discussing this with a friend, and quitting Facebook was one of the first things we considered. Interesting coincidence.

As silly as it seems, I think there's tremendous power in that concept. For a lot of people Facebook is one of the few apps in use. Providing apps inside Facebook sounds like a great way to capture the audience Apple is missing out on.

Fascinating link, thank you!

Agreed. I came here wanting to say I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style. Technical details coupled with great entertaining writing? Count me in. I already read enough dry technical tumblrvomit as it is.

I thought it was part of who the author is. He doesn't strike me as a particularly serious person, so booing the security researched who has become a "star" of Black Hat in the eyes of the rest of the applauding audience sounds like a funny

Not to be a downer, but those are fairly mediocre logos.

Ask HN: is there a torrent-like protocol for websites?

I appreciate and at least partially agree with your perspective, regardless of the pointless name calling.

Explainable action? I'm lost for words. Also I'm Russian.

Are we talking about the same Gnome 3? Mine has a thin toolbar for the clock, and all the other UI is hidden unless you mouse over the top left corner. It works extremely well on the comparatively small MacBook Pro 13", to the point that I'

I'm glad the issue is getting an increasing amount of attention. One has to keep in mind that at the end of the day, all the corporations care about is increasing their profits.

That is some of the ugliest UI I've seen since the Windows 3.1 days. Brings back memories of CD-ROM encyclopedias.

Exactly. Just because forgotusername values clean non-suggestive UIs doesn't mean everyone else does. If Google is to cater to the majority of their clients which they should, based on just how my non-technical friends and family enjoy Goog

Still, it's a feature you can disable. I'd love to be able to disable everything the Like buttons of the world do to unsuspecting visitors, but how?

The record industry analogy is brilliant. Major labels of the past were not unlike production lines. They weren't just management and promotion companies, but rather more like schools where promising resident talent was honed and music woul

Add to that the difficult of using and discovering a web app. Apple, for instance, while embracing HTML5 as far justifying death of Flash goes, has made little visible effort to promote visibility of web apps. Some features of mobileSafari

I'm guessing he was excited because he knew very well that the majority of people at an Apple store have no idea what they really want to buy and need the salesperson's expertise. Probably the same reason that BestBuy hasn't been killed by

It appears that hating something must mean that you produce arguments against it, however irrational. I'm with you, ajross.

I think for Williams, Dead Poets Society would be the first break of the mould.
