I agree with you -- just presenting a balanced view of the motivations driving both bloggers' posts. Gruber has far less to gain, as Apple isn't going to provide employees for Gruber to interview for a book/conference.

We have a major problem in this industry with bloggers and journalists collecting an indirect paycheck from large corporations. Here we have Gruber, who collects an indirect paycheck from Apple (Apple's provision of indirect access to insi

If enough people start to use this, it could really change the dynamics of the dedicated server market. For example, I never knew I could get a dual core server with a 40GB SSD for $75/mo -- something tells me that box would be tremendousl

There's a variety of places from where we can get our news. For example, I'm super-concerned about the end result of the Euro crisis (which directly affects global businesses, such as the online businesses many of us are building, far more

Okay, really. With all due respect to the passing of a fellow human, this story has absolutely nothing to do with hackers, with software development, with the startup business... I know people are going to reply to this with some reference

Wow, well, this got way more attention than I wanted. First, to be clear -- I have nothing against the guy who took Dave Morin's job (who wasn't supposed to be named -- Amazon CloudFront didn't bother to invalidate its cache when I uploaded

Some of the comments here on HN about this are quite amusing, especially since many of the people who poo-poo Ashton's involvement in tech have no issues with a normal VC investment in a company. How is Ashton any more annoying than the

The wonderful ironic twist here is that the parent poster (Long Nguyen) is actually a close friend of mine AND went to Harvard.

This may come as a complete surprise to you, but the fact that you went to Harvard doesn't mean you know shit about what it takes to build a successful social network, or what made Facebook successful. The guy who created the photo system o

This is sort of a bunch of BS, but I think it shows what a great guy Parker is underneath it all. Eduardo was a real asshole to Parker for a long time (please do remember that Eduardo was the guy who basically dictated the story in that ch

Don't confuse the skills/intellect/resources necessary to be a successful platform developer with the skills/intellect/resources necessary to be a successful platform operator/provider.

I wrote this paper in 2006. I don't really write anything publicly anymore, and I even took this one offline after noticing a bunch of annoying blogger-journalists passing off bits of it as their own insights; that being said, I felt that

Interesting; it appears that the best interface for browsing Gmail is only available on the iPad (for now). Steve will be pleased.

If you want your money to look pretty, you have it all wrong. And brands/trust are based on reputations of principals in the finance world, not on the website. Hell, I don't know why they have one in the first place...

I don't want our young people aggregated, even by a benevolent social-networking site. I want them to develop as fierce individuals, and to earn their living doing exactly that. I totally agree. In fact, my personal website reflects this

Yes, because "I quit being a database entry and started being a human again" is far more spammy than "please help me tend to my virtual farm." /sarcasm

I have to agree with this -- I like to read the HN take on what's going on with AWS. Most of us here use AWS for something or another (if not everything), so Jeff's posts seem pretty relevant.

Thanks for the useless remark. From what I know, Joe does a lot of work from home. (Note to self: HN is starting to get filled with the same sort of know-nothing, smart-ass comments that cause me to avoid places like TechCrunch)
