I was discussing the new iPhone with a friend from a competing hardware manufacturer the day after the original announcement and he was surprised about the external antenna design. He said the industry generally shies away from exposing ant

Flowroute: http://www.flowroute.com/ Good prices, great service, awesome call quality, and a web interface that doesn't suck. Calling 800 numbers is free and they support T.38. This is the last provider you'll need to evaluate :)

Agreed, but 802.11n only works in the 2.4GHz range for iPhone 4: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

Re: iOS 4 upgrade price, "We finally found a way to get them for free to our iPod touch users." I'd guess the GAAP changes Apple lobbied for [1] made the difference. [1] http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/09/accounting-rules-c...

Yeah, the modern foundations espousing his ideals do promote junk science like homeopathy. But some of his original research is still interesting. Consider reading some of Stephan Guyenet's blog posts about that research ( http://wholehea

I strongly disagree with your recommendations for Campbell and Robbins (and I assume you mean John Robbins, not Tim Robbins). Like most nutritionists, they do agree on eliminating refined carbohydrates and processed foods from your diet.

If you know nothing about a topic, then yes, best to listen to someone that does. But both individuals here are at least knowledgeable enough to debate this without us automatically choosing a side. This isn't the case of a sales director a

> the fructose thing is more nuanced than the fruitcakes on either side would have you believe Can you enlighten us on these nuances? By "fruitcakes" I assume you're referring to Aragon and Lustig?

Although I don't completely agree with the author, he accuses Lustig of a similar fallacy: using the popularity of his Youtube video to justify where the truth stands. See his retrospective of the original article: http://www.alanaragonblo

Really? Can't we evaluate these claims properly? Both sides here are citing sources and starting a healthy debate. Why must we resort to choosing a side based solely on authority? I always assumed the HN audience would never fall back on th

You're right, the complexity of these VOIP-based systems is much higher. But sometimes it's worth it for both cost and flexibility. I think each business needs to evaluate what's right for them. For example, in the setup I described in my o

Yeah, my friends and I use BillMonk and it sucks that it's stagnated so much. When I read the headline, I was hoping someone had released a new service that fixes the small problems we have with BillMonk.

by nixme 17y ago
My friends and I are heavy users of BillMonk so your service definitely interests me. However for the example in your video, BillMonk is clearly superior. With BillMonk, one person pays, takes home the itemized receipt and enters it in. The

The title is a bit misleading. Tumblr took away a subdomain on their own domain.

Of course it is. If governments didn't force employers to withhold income, I doubt income tax revenue would be nearly the same. And paying use tax is pretty much a joke. My point is that he's using vitriolic language to accuse Amazon unfair
