If the store owner has to choose between using the data to make more profit or to enhance customer value, he'll likely choose the first option. You're not supposed to find the cheapest product easily, but that which provides the b

Why mention BASIC in the title but not in the article? There are multiple references to BASIC in the article on page 2 and 3. Also, how can Swift be the new BASIC if it's Apple-only? Of course, being Apple-only may hurd widespread

While the story itself might be art, the book, ebook, audiobook or DVD is a product. Publishers aren't producing art, they are in the business of distributing. (Most don't even sell to the customer but need either the bookstore or

While I agree that HN URLs are are very non-descriptive, one problem of the proposed solution might be submissions that get their titles edited by mods later?

It seems you first have to become an "Avaaz member" before signing any petition. I'm presented with two options: 'Already an Avaaz member? Enter your email address and hit "Send"' and 'First time here

iOS 7 isn't available on the iPod Touch 4th Gen, that doesn't change with this news. So, your reasons focus on iOS 6 and lower. iOS 7 imho leaves only a few edge cases to favor a jailbreak, especially on an unlocked device.

I don't understand the problem you're trying to solve: The site doesn't tell me what it is about, why I should bother and who is behind it. Moreover, the selection of postcards is very limited and not what I would expect to b

Having working with PR departments of various companies, almost all had some sort of blacklisting/whitelisting for journalists and media outlets. Seems to be perfectly normal because the job of those departments is to influence media c

I don't think so. But it might be a great feature for enterprise BYOD/CYOD initiatives - having a two factor authorization integrated into the phone (fingerprint + application pwd) could give Apple a significant advantage here. Bu

This implies that people buying a new phone actually have detailed knowledge about the underlying OS. But a lot of sold Android smartphones are cheap ones. I know lots of "mormal" people that barely know Android is powering their phones. Th

Seems there is only a PDF version? I'd suggest to add an epub and/or mobi version: Much easier/better to use on mobile devices and tablets. Of course, it is possible to convert a non-DRM PDF for customers, but it's a hassle. Moreover, you c

It is pretty easy to use the Kindle App for Windows or Mac to download your ebooks and find them on your harddisk. If the publisher hasn't enabled DRM, you can use the files as you like and even convert them in other formats (think: Calibre

I can't speak for chc, but content creation on tablets and smart phones is real for joe average. Maybe not the kind of content joebadmo is thinking about, but the iphone 4 is the most popular camera on Flickr: photo and video editing power

I don't know on what information the article is based and really doubt that Apple will not provide at least some sort of web access. And iOS users aren't forced to use iCloud - GMail, Dropbox and all the others will still be available ... e

Sorry to hear about your experience, but to be fair, I have to admit that I personally had just one bad experience in about 25+ visits of restaurants in Germany and Austria due to Groupon and Daily Deals offers. That location turned out to

IMO, most of the mentioned services are not in danger if they focus on differentiation: Dropbox: How long will it take until all Dropbox-enabled apps are upgraded to iCloud and Dropbox integration dropped? Differentiation for Dropbox: Ease
