I'd argue that apple is largely responsible for android's success - normal, everyday people knew they wanted a touchscreen smartphone only after apple made it possible to own one, but more importantly, made it popular to own one with the iP

For the home button problem - I think a solution would be a system-wide toggle for alternate home button behavior. I actually wouldn't mind a setting where the home button switches single and double-click modes in-app, so that single-click

Excellent point. It reminded me of Clay Shirky's TED talk, on institutions vs. collaboration: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/clay_shirky_on_institution... I'd add another problem with this state where more ideas, movements, tribes, et

Agreed - this bit especially could use some work: "Yes! Joulies are perfectly safe when used properly , and in fact make drinking coffee safer than usual by reducing the risk of burning your mouth." (Emphasis mine) The whole "it's actual

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that -- spot on. Just for kicks, here's my more optimistic vision for the future: 1) HP/WebOS focuses it's marketing message on using "open" tech (HTML, CSS, JS). Some iOS/android developers convert apps, some

I think similarly to planes and automobiles, people over-value emotional, anecdotal evidence over scientific, verifiable evidence by a large margin when it comes to unfamiliar events. As much as you are more likely to die on the way to the

Just my personal opinion, but I would suggest having something like: "Don't want to sign in with facebook? We understand, here's why we're requiring it while we build: {...}, enter your e-mail here [email input box] and we'll notify you as

Nobody is suggesting that drivers should be free to police themselves as far as the legality of the circumstances of their driving. This is simply a matter of freedom of speech -- if you see a police car doing radar on your drive home, and

I think an important corollary is whether or not disclosing the source of a problem outside of your organization automatically assigns blame to them, intended or not. In my opinion, however, the most important trait of a press statement reg

Gut reactions - is chiefs-skincare.com available? I'd get that and forward the current url there as it's more clear. I was seriously confused what I was geting into while the page loaded, almost closed the tab, not sure if people would be

I think we're in danger here of arguing in circles, but let me just say that I think the mindset of "I could've done so much worse, but I showed restraint, therefore It's (relatively) okay" is very troubling to hear (and I know it's not jus

I'd say only notify the user if they try to push changes during planned downtime (maybe it does so already - I haven't noticed). That, or something unobtrusive, like an icon change 1hr - 30mins ahead of time. I think an actual notice woul

I just had the same problem (redirect loop), but not on your page, I hit it on the link next to yours on the front page: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2350430 . Maybe he confused the two?

I agree with you, but I think the "overpriced" label still has real meaning for the high-margin products you mentioned. A company's ability to charge higher margins can be for several reasons, whether they be legitimate competitive advanta

I agree, but it depends on how much removing native support for h264 this soon advances the state of html5. We are still convincing content-publishers to adopt html5. Dropping support right now and forcing people who want to support html5

I'm starting to think the real reason behind this is that google hasn't been able to flesh out any of it's flash-based advertising products for html5, and know that it won't be easy to do so (people can hide ad divs or download the source v
