Oh I see, I just saw the link to the app store and assumed.. So you are saying that it is easily ported to other devices, but still requires a native application? What requirements stop you from making it an online thing, that people could

Can't Google TV do all of those things as well when it is released?

Sounds great, but would be better on something with a better (ie more readable) screen. The application needs to be device agnostic. If these guys can come through with the goods, it would be ideal: http://www.notionink.in/ Make it a HTML

They haven't shipped anything yet so you can't compare. One would imagine it would be more accurate (and work better for beds with more than 1 person in them) but we'll have to find out in a month (hopefully)

Anyone got any links to good guides for getting into Vim if you are a Visual Studio user at present? I keep hearing people talking about Vim and how it will change your life, mannn. Is there a good beginners guide?

yeah exactly, not long ago the only update anyone ever got was to tell them that their Wakemate was delayed longer. People complained, and the company improved their communication. I think its great, especially from a HN readers point of vi

I know you said not hotmail, but have you tried the new version? it's pretty feature rich, revamped to compete with Gmail (I use Gmail myself, but it seems good) If you are willing to pay, you may be able to buy a hosted Microsoft Exchange

I wonder what the ethics of 'flattering spam' are a la the comments on this blog post http://www.cynotwhynot.com/blog/post/MSBuild-missing-Microso... On one hand its spam, but on the other the author can pretend it was a nice comment fro

Gates has spent a lot of time since stepping down as CEO travelling the world and looking at ways to improve education. I'd say he knows a hell of a lot more about it than most people.

if you don't have 2.2, download an app called 'linkpush' sits in chrome and you click it, copies the url and then you can open the app on your phone to open it.

why? if you are an application developer you should care about market statistics not what bloggers think of the phones.

Thought exactly the same thing when I read the title of the link. Also thought "Bet that MG Siegler guy wrote that, don't think I'll bother reading it."

Stack Overflow claims that by running a Windows stack they save money compared to a LAMP stack due to its better performance (MVC2,SQL2008) outweighing the initial cost. I think they talked about this in their Google Tech Talk (Joel Spolsky

every app asks for permissions, thats the problem. If I didn't use apps that had permissions which could possibly be exploited I would have barely any apps. At the very least malicious apps need to be removed quickly, along with spam + scam

So the iPhone is too closed, and Android is too open. In my opinion, they should have a quality assured Market, but keep the ability to load .apk files whenever you want (and also the ability for others to create their own marked). Quality

I want an e-reader, but I want to read technical (coding) PDFs etc. I'm told this will be inconvenient at a screen this size and that I should get the Kindle DX. Hopefully they announce a massive price drop on the DX as well (preferably bef
