I used a Motorola F3 in 2006 and got my first Kindle in 2008. Except seeing small e-ink screens in supermarkets I haven't seen any other mainstream e-ink products or solutions. It's a shame the tech is stagnating.

The company I work for (one of the largest providers in the world) handles 7+ billion interactions a month. Without checking our systems (and my NDA) I would bet we also provide for a lot of .gov.uk services.

I'll be honest and say that I don't play games that much anymore so any game I tried ran smoothly. Is QA failing or are Sony and Microsoft allowing shoddy games on their plaforms? Anyway, just graphics cards, CPU upgrades, noise a

I had a PS2, an Xbox 360 and now a PS4. Total hardware cost of playing the latest games with zero performance issues, hardware worries or upgrades in the last 20 years is around the price of a single gaming PC, which lasts what, 4-5 years t

I've only seen autopilot examples in places with uniformed and fairly good infrastructure. Self driving even in the near future will be a toy for the rich and geographically privileged. That should trickle down during time, but the fac

It sucked battery life out of phones, carriers had to pay huge licensing fees for the spectrum and build the new infrastructure and the only promise that it kept was lower latencies and more bandwidth for people using 3G PCMCIA modems for l

Are you implying it's ok to blow up your own jet? What if it was planted? What if it's smuggling?

Interesting, I mentioned this a few days ago in an HN comment. I'm a big fan of Wikipedia and donate regularly, but it's nearly unusable in my mother tongue. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21702939

This is already happening. Various local wiki sites (including my country) have become infested by right wing conspiracy theorists, but even though it gains media attention, the Wikipedia "court" labels it as independence by local
