   Neat product, but I think they lose a bit of credibility with this quote: "nobody's nailed how to make the iPad a compelling every day productivity tool" Really? Also, $139 seems like a bit high, but I could be wrong.

   I didn't realized they had changed tiers to include a license in the $15 backing - backed!

   Awesome! Looks like I'll have to click 'buy' then!

   I had been a paid instapaper user since the beginning, but Pocket is just awesome - they got me to switch.

   This looks great - any chance of adding Pocket (formerly Read it Later) support though?

   Yeah - I noticed the same thing with Python / Django being so poorly represented - seems like there's an disproportionate number of Python related posts and discussions on HN - but it could just be my internal bias as a Ruby guy :)

   Yeah, G+ had a really great, vibrant photography community. People like Trey Ratcliff have really done an amazing job getting people engaged there.

   Very cool! What a great way to show off the RubyMotion REPL. Maybe this will encourage some folks to buy a license who were on the fence about it.

    I really want to love DuckDuckGo, and will usually give it a try for a day or two every couple weeks - but Google is just a superior product.

    As I mentioned in another comment, food and fuel are not counted when calculating inflation - they are both commodities whose prices are determined by external market forces (ie speculation, weather, etc) and do not accurately reflect risin

    Wow - every time we the media world take a few tentative steps into the modern age, they seem to immediately scramble back into the cave of ignorance. What is it going to take for these guys to understand new and relevant business models?

    by rjsamson 14y ago

    Yup - in theory the two can be related, but in the real world its a lot more complicated than that.

    by rjsamson 14y ago

    You're sort of correct, in that inflation and the money supply can often be related, but generally one would not use the term "inflation" to refer to an increase in the money supply. In simple terms though, as the money supply increases, th

    Great article - mostly I'm amazed that there are folks out there who are supposed to be intelligent, who actually believe 10% inflation is a reality...

    While its interesting, and I'm sure there are people who will love it, I'm not sure I'd really enjoy interacting with my iPad in a multi-windowed environment. There's something to be said for the simplicity of devoting my attention to one a

    Ha - what a great solution to such a meddlesome everyday problem.

    So yeah, this has me more than a little perturbed. I generally don't have a problem sacrificing some privacy in return for functionality (the terms of service of several popular social networks come to mind), but this... is a bit of a diffe

    This is something I'd like to hear more about too - if Smalltalk is so awesome, why is nobody using it?

    Ha. Awesome. Apparently I'm "quite noisy". Time to cut down on the social app integration...

    Nice. I've been impressed with the tutorials that Parse has been putting out - keep 'em coming!

    Looks like you're absolutely correct - there's FB blog post from a while back talking about how this is something that they will not do: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=110636457130

    I haven't used DDG in a while, but every time I go back there I'm left feeling a little bit disappointed in the results. Maybe its just that I've been lulled into complacency by years spent on Google, but something about the DDG user experi

    These are the same types of arguments that a few of the more vocal but ill-informed professional photographers out there use to spread FUD about photo sharing sites like Flickr, etc. The bottom line is that you, as a user, have to grant suc

    That sounds about right. I'm not intimately familiar with FB's terms of use - I'm not sure if there is some differentiation between how they can use your other content and how they can use your profile / profile photo, etc. I haven't heard

    Exactly. The same FUD was being spread around a while back regarding google's terms as related to photo sharing on G+. Google needs these rights to provide certain features...
