At first I thought it was a joke. Then I read the article... This is one of the reasons why I never buy something from Apple. I think they are bad for our creativity.

I started ignoring the people after there complete focus went to the phone. And they learn quick. Suddenly they realize they are behaving very anti social.

I own a cell phone but never use it for the same reasons as you. Never missed it, never will. This month a video went viral about the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OINa46HeWg8 (I Forgot My Phone). So true.

Ofcourse the message here is 'too much abstraction'. There are loads of bad frameworks that want to be too smart and too clean. I mean, there is nothing wrong with writing HTML. But I've seen stuff like: $output .= $fram

Maybe even simpler: stay, don't fly. The best solutions would be that all passengers refuse to take the scan.

Cheating does not depend on physical or lifelike. Cheating is when you say "I love you with all my heart" but in the mean time give your heart to other stuff.

I'm going to be your neighbor! Just have to convince my wife. But serious: I've got family living 1 km away from your place and they always notice cars passing by because it rarely happens.

Tonight I woke up at 4 because it was totally quiet in the city. It's strange that we feel discomfort when things are quiet. It shouldn't be that way and it's one of the big problems to be solved. Electric transportation can

So on small screens this will make the font even smaller. This is the wrong solutions. There is a reason why 16pt is the standard font-size. And its no problem to design a responsive website with columns that use 'between 45 and 75 cha

I'm a little confused. Does Windows 8 initially use the real time clock and the MHz as reference without checking if the MHz does change over time?

Yes you can use 1111111. The chance that you win is 50%, you do or you don't. Now the 50% is ofcourse a little joke. But there is some truth in it. Randomness doesn't mean the numbers change all the time. The probability that the

This is a little unrelated but I notice that all Google services are getting very slow. They eat up CPU and memory like it's nothing. It's nice what can be done with Internet these days but I prefer the old quick Google with almos

"they see a note on the sheet and translate it to motion" Indeed. I think notes are more 'human' than most programming languages. If the music goes up, the notes go up. If the notes are short they look short (and more

What I think is interesting is that a lot can be done to make typing easier and more human when you can type like you speak (and think). For example: we say/think for each item in list but in a lot of languages you need to type

This is why I think upvoting on the HN front page is not a good idea. People upvote before they even read the article (if they read it at all). I just opened the comments to see yours and know there is no need to read the article and to upv

Don't get me wrong, but why is everybody so upset about the NSA when they post everything on Facebook and use Google/Apple/Microsoft? Are they upset because they lack the choice of who is tracking them? Because I don't t

This is a great argument against people who "got nothing to hide". If the government suddenly decides you are a terrorist you will understand privacy is a good thing.

I don't think there is any developer lock-in. As you are saying it's the customers choice. When customers have more choice they can choose to go for an OS without Apple-control.

Same here. I've got the feeling Apple is very arrogant. They seem to think all developers just love Apple whatever they do. But my trust in Apple is gone. Fortunately this year there will be a lot more to choose from: Android, Windows,
