I saw this presentation at the London DevDays where Jon gave it. I was quite far back, and when he walked on stage with the sock puppet on, I assumed it was one of those wrist support gloves that you use when you get RSI because you won't j

He's going for that iTunes transfer dollar. That's a big dollar.

I've rarely met people who are excellent at everything. For the areas they have problems with, I imagine human teachers are great. I imagine such people on HN who think they are 'brilliant' (see a recent question) are actually only adept a

That's all well and good, but who made the first horizontal rule 'rainbow' GIF, hmm?

Pay developers to make apps? This doesn't happen for desktop computers/laptops, games consoles, etc., so why do you think it should be different for mobile phones?

It seems so unbelievable too, I mean, that Palm guy said it was going to rule: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/03/05/palm-pre-iphone ;-)

You'd think that someone who owned a ZX Spectrum would know that the minimum spec memory was 16Kb, not 1Kb. :-)

On the other hand, the Mint guys worked for 3 years, earned $170m, and now they can 'enjoy building things they like, their way', for a long ass time without needing to answer to anybody except people who use their product. I'm not sure wha

One day - just one day - I'd like to see a discussion about patents where someone doesn't suggest patenting something 'amusing' that already exists and has years of prior art.

"I hate to "game" sites like StackOverflow, but there is no incentive not to." Not being a douchebag is not an incentive?

Yes, superuser.com. Seriously, it just opened. Go post some Linux/UNIX themed questions!

I think anyone who reads HN who needs to be told to open windows in order to keep cool should maybe hand in their hacker badge.

That's the sort of thing people say to me when I spend more than $10 on a mouse, too.

One thing I learned a while back at one interview (or rather, I just worked it out after experiencing it a few times) is that I find it much harder to think/code on a whiteboard. I don't know what it is, but it seems much easier for me to

Being from the UK, I will ignore this story until I see it reported by a source more reliable than the Sunday Express newspaper. This article from this source is akin to a clown car driving down your street and pretending to throw buckets

Yes, that just seemed like a PR gimmick. Given the current hardware, if I have two other iPhone users near me, and I flick at one of them, how does that work? Doesn't seem like the compass would be accurate enough.

The central plot device of the movie is that the CEO tries to hire the people developing some innovative software. One of them joins, but the other refuses. The first guy realises that the CEO is stealing his friend's code in order to make

I'm a bit disappointed that anyone who has seen a few of The Daily Show's interviews is at all surprised by any of this. They quite clearly do it for laughs. It's not supposed to be journalism. As Jon Stewart famously put it: http://www.y

No. What's the connection? Hi-tech? Someone dying? Antitrust is about a company developing and selling a product that is stolen from somewhere else. I don't remember anyone dying because someone wanted to see a Mr Blurry-Cam shot of the n

I remember reading some guy's blog entry where he cuttingly remarked that he used to not watch TV, but that he spent so much time smugly telling other people that he didn't watch TV that it took less time to actually just watch the damn TV
