You now what this article needs? More cowbell! I mean graphs! This is a social phenomenon being critiqued using self-reported social scoring without tying it back to either theoretical or applied economic models. If large swaths are asked f

I never waited for the carrier to update the phone. We've been able to get updates via the free "developers" program within short windows after announcements of said updates. e.g. Just installed the update yesterday that was

After building UI's for the two major platforms, I love using the layout and binding engine that MS brought to devices. I have background with ASP.net which is only so far removed from XAML, but it was a very small step to get up to sp

My battery experience was most often stellar. I have almost always been able to track it back to an app with a background process. I haven't seen the mysterious warm and die thing happen in a really long time (since GDR2 certainly).

Why is this article on the front page of HN? Graphene is old news as are all the "it could revolutionize ....." statements. Nothing is imminent to market, but it sure seems like someone wants to acquire investments. No MVP's

Ditto here on what you've been doing. Caffeine modulation (I alternate month intervals btw caffeine and nicotine gum). I have a preference for well understood/studied chemicals now. Previous experiments with narcotics and pharmace

They evolved into sperm whales which have the physical capacity to support such a massive brain. Sperms whales also think the research and link bait article are full of shite.

Emigrate. We appreciate the intelligence and skill of our Russian hacker friends. Let's not lose a generation of highly-skilled talent due to psycho-nostalgic policies. You guys have come too far for all this.

Or it could be forever... You just spoke the exact words that were spoken about WorldCom, Enron, etc. etc. Just sit tight, buy low, hold. Dollar cost average on the way down, blah blah blah.

This my semi-outsider opinion. Metal. Minimal. Futurism. Refined. Ive. Kitchy. Cozy. Gaudy. Forstall and most things not iOS7 (and iOS7 has compromises) If this includes Christie now, yeah, him too. So much of the UX has seemed to betray th

EXACTLY! Blame the disenfranchised for their doubts and concerns. They probably got that way by watching movies or something. It's almost never based in a history of exploitation.

These are interesting stories. I find mass publicity of war tech interesting. This one has been a long time coming as noted by all the "this is old news" responses. Who are the intended audiences? What is the intended effect? Warn

web/app is not zero sum. There is a wide overlap in functionality, but if the experience via mobile browser is sufficient, users won't care. They may even enjoy not having to curate yet another app. App Pros: Engagement lock-in Ri

What is this Skype thing you speak of? I can't tell if that's the burning of cash or planting a tree... since that business unit will likely be decent on paper until it becomes pretty great on paper. I mean who would be using some

Where's the map where they baseline people identifying something in the US (or other map points with higher likely familiarity) correctly as well? That would help clear out some noise. Secondly. Who cares at this point? Seems like Puti

People don't seek out micro-loans to establish sustainable, value magnetizing ventures. They take micro-loans to get through today, tonight, and next week. All micro-lenders I've investigated long enough turned out to be charity-a

The point of my extension was to provide thought to the offhand comment. It is a form of comment-art. Rape is not cute or small or some expression of freedom. It is gravely serious and offensive to 50%+ of the population and a massive turn-

OP deserves scorn for poor linguistic imagery when revealing what could be an amusing Friday HN story. TL:DR; "Pervert" that likes "raping" compilers throws the D compiler in the trunk and sadistically torturing it in th

"Devices & services" Azure is your servers and the .net + C# tooling story from dev to deploy makes the question of selling Windows servers in a VM world moot. Many of the moves coming out of this Build seem to point to a worl

Thank you for this. TO all the haters, davidw is quoting a funny animated pokeyfun of people who lightly consider a DB problem and throw out the NoSQL mantras, without even understanding what they, themselves, are even saying and implying.

You aren't quite seeing the full picture and including some interesting additional bits. The 'experience' of an app across devices - like WhatsApp portable (and then some) - is feasible with what they put in the keynote and w

Someone better go up the quota on that Azure-based plan. That's the same message users get when someone doesn't allow auto-scale on a plan and a quota gets slammed.

I'm hoping that MS arranges with Xamarin to be able to provide some form of the VS+Xamarin toolset for at least some SKU's of VS2013 and up for free. Sort of like InstallShield LE. They could delight if it were more.

I've used Windows 8 for as long as it's been out and it's my 'get things done' OS via bootcamp on my MBP. I work at a place stuck on 7 and I want 8. Many little things and a few bigger things are just better in 8. T

Elon is revealing too much hubris in his messaging. You can treat people around you like that, but lining up too many people against you is foolish. His intent is to PR+burnish the added safety feature. Instead of selling it as an objective
