Well, actually, if you already have recompiled ARM exes, you can quite easily 'jailbreak' the RT to have them run. I have Notepad++, 7-zip, putty and a few others. I know you were trying to say that this should be enabled by defau

People always say being an ATC is the most stressful job that you can have. But this sounds worse, even if the system worked properly. Does anyone know starting salaries for air traffic controllers?

Does anyone know if you can stream non-online videos? Like if I have a video file on my computer and want to play it on my TV, does Chromecast allow for this?

Agreed. I have a Surface and enjoy not having the videos I watch on it be letterboxed

Worth noting that you can also get these at bigger chains (e.g. Costco, Best Buy, etc.) - like the other comment under/above me said, they're labeled as "Microsoft Signature" or something along those lines.

The comments on the site are a little brutal! I enjoyed the read, though I feel like at this moment in time I relate to it much more than I might otherwise. I just graduated college this May and so the way I'm relating to the piece isn

Can you expand on how it's terribly insecure? Curious.

A computer that came with XP (let's say prior to 2006? 2005?) will probably still run faster with XP (though XP is literally 12 years old now..). However, from what I understand a computer that came with Vista will run faster with Wind

Alright, first of all let's remember that the NSA added Skype to the PRISM program before Microsoft even bought it. Secondly, there were very real technical reasons why Microsoft rearchitected the Skype backend. They needed to do this

Haha this reminds me of an old Microsoft interview technique I read about a while back (2 years ago?). I don't think they do it anymore because, well, it's a little odd. Basically the candidate would state something that was prett

I admire (and in some ways totally agree with/follow) the message. Having said that, I don't really think that you can say that with his "100% time" he can still achieve what Google employees once did during 20% time. My

Sure, but I don't think many people at Microsoft have security clearance to begin with. Like when the NSA reached out to some middle management Joe on the Outlook.com team, he/she probably did not have security clearance.

What I find interesting about all these cases is who knew that this was happening? Were Steve Ballmer/Larry Page/Mark Zuckerberg/etc. as surprised as we were when this all got released? I wouldn't be surprised if they we

I pretty much exclusively use Spotify to listen to music. It's incredibly convenient. I love it. It annoys me when artists decide not to participate. With Radiohead I at least 'kinda get it' in that their new album is a pay-y

Sounds kind of like the option saying that the content is just not that important.

Yep. Reminds me a lot of when it was fairly common to start your own forum back in the early/mid 2000s. (phpbb, vBulletin, IPB, etc.)

"People would be calling us constantly". I probably would have been majorly bummed out at that moment.

I usually don't like it when people comment about the submission's website rather than the content, but what the fuck is this? http://i.imgur.com/70rsTUr.png I'm about 20-30 seconds into the video and out of

I don't know why, but Firefox always takes so long to load for me. Personally I'm quite happy with Chrome.

At least I have the option to delete my FB account. On the other hand, Google has lately been aggressively pushing me to convert my YouTube account into a G+ account. Once this is actually forced upon me, is there any way to 'delete&#x

On the other hand, I had different experiences both times when interning at Microsoft. Anyone that works or has worked at Microsoft should all end any "my experience" post with one sentence: your mileage may vary. Microsoft is a g

So, really, a few thoughts: 1. I think a theme that comes up on HN often is "when do you ship?". You could always argue that "well, we should wait to ship in order to [fix this/add this feature/...]". At a certain point, you have to say t

Hmm, weird. I can only reply to you by going to the comments section (of HN, not this thread), clicking your name, viewing all your comments, and then hitting reply from there. But I can't see threads.

Are HN comments broken for everyone?

yep basically 100% agree. My grandmother got an iPad a while ago and its sooo easy for her to do everything. I think it helps that the iPad forces you to only be doing one thing at a time (e.g. when on the internet, you won't get a popup di
