Everything is normal..(also have AB+ and ghostery) worth mentioning that on checking it is v20 of chromium (ie from the software center), v23 is apparently the current stable chrome version.. are you using that?

Thanks, i see.. is there a requirement on when to take more funding then? what would happen if the startup didn't take further funding (put remained profitable)?

What equity is given for this (/how has it changed?) and is this pre defined or 'negotiated' ?

>The extra profit from pre-emptive upgrades is probably cancelled out by the increased cost of warranty repairs. This is exactly the calculation apple has done; they now deem RAM to be reliable enough to not have a significant impact

There is a clear framework for existing mobile platforms, but IMO the whole process is WAY more frictionless with the web (FFos) side. >download Android SDK installer, install eclipse plugins, install eclipse, install current SDK, creat

The question is how often. Adopting the firefox 2/3 model (albeit less nagging a-la-chrome) is a great step forward from the IE6 one we have had up to now, but they really need to match the rapid release schedules of mozilla and google toda

Shame they didn't link to their annual reports or something../s. Turns out aggressively developing one of the world's most popular browsers, a mobile browser and a mobile OS costs a lot of money. $100m for software development, $20m for adm

I do wonder if they would have been a major browser (20%+) if they had abandoned that approach a little earlier. They have historically been ahead of the curve on.. almost every feature, whilst consistently having some of fastest loads and

To me it is because of the sizes. 3.5" vs 4.8" screen is a major difference- the iPhone4 looks made for your 5yr old to play with in comparison.

by polshaw 14y ago
This is not why; the nexus4 is much cheaper than the SGS3 in the UK. (240/280 VS ~400). Moreover, google and amazon do NOT sell below cost. They are near cost, for the cheapest version, at launch. Go look at how much tablets sell for in C

I took it that the parent was asking how you made contact with the guy (eg how did you get his email), but on a second reading it's not so clear. I assume his email was probably freely available on the TC site then.

Near real time speech to speech translation is awesome[1], but the voice sounded more like how i would picture ASIMO speaking (ie a 1980s speech synthesis) than 'his' voice. 1. is anyone here fluent in mandarin to assess the quality of the

Absolutely this. I see very little point in paying a hefty premium for such a great screen to then be limited to such a tiny area of real-estate; or to have to sacrifice (much of) the beauty of the screen if you set it up for a reasonable r

You consent to it just as much by not voting. You pay taxes to fund them FFS! You are doing less to change the system by not voting than you are by voting. It would be lovely to be asked "Do you want to be governed by a fool?", but you don'

Here is (imo) THE strongest reason you have to vote.. If your demographic votes, *all* politicians care about it. Why do you think medicare is untouchable? (cf. 'obamacare').

It's not clear that he is making an Anarchistic argument (as you suggest) or just complaining about the status-quo of politicians. Either way, as of today, voting third party means you won't be 'voting them in' (NB: it does not follow that

I think you would be very surprised. As a non-US citizen i know almost as much about US politics as my own country's. People around the world have an interest in US politics, it is nothing like asking someone about Japanese or German poli

by polshaw 14y ago
If you are to take this at face value, the answer to that (IMO) is to vote third party if you don't have a strong preference between the main two. Then you are doing your small bit[1] towards promoting plurality, and promoting the issues th

How does the logitech system work? it just flings files over a network?? Can it do multiroom? (same music many places at once) if so, how? (mainly a question re: non-insignificant data multicast and syncing with low latency, i guess?)

It is. Galaxy nexus, nexus 7 and nexus 4... I would have bought them all if they had a microSD.

The S3 mini is more S1/S2 than S3 though. May as well get one of those.

To be fair i don't think they ever claim to be journalists-- the source link is always in their posts. If there is any wrong doing, it is the people who post links to one aggregator (like engadget) on another (like HN). I guess in the HN ca

I hope you are aware that apple does this too (and far better). I say this because I wouldn't see this type of post after an apple keynote. They are MASTERS of setting the conversation points. Take the iPhone4 launch. A new phone with a sli

I don't think surface is perfect, nor does it match the iPad in every area, but a proper kickstand + keyboard/touchpad + office puts it in a completely different league to the iPad in terms of productivity. If you want to work when mobile,
