Wow, and they took $1 billion in VC funding with them. Think of all the startups that could have helped.

I think this is a great idea and that it will prevent pledging companies from engaging in patent abuse, but I wonder how many large companies will bother to sign up for it. I imagine that if Apple/Google/MS all just take a pass that they wo

It's a little weird (to me at least), but upvoting stories in HN is considered 'saving' them. You can view all your saved stories from your profile page under the link 'saved stories'. You can also just go to: http://news.ycombinator.com/

Ha, I like your inversion of the Snowcrash quote, "condensing fact from the vapor of nuance" -- what a great tagline for a social search company.

Well, there may or may not be a pressing business need for capital, but I'm sure a lot of the current shareholders would see an IPO as a good exit. I suppose it's possible that facebook could still be acquired, but given how large they are,

You're probably right that "app files" they way steve mentioned is does refer to the data of the apps themselves which isn't a lot of data. I was more curious about data files that are used by an app (I'm assuming we can use the iCloud API

I agree that this is really cool, but I'm a little confused about the details. Surely they must charge the app developers for the space they use up in their new fancy (and expensive looking) data center? Steve said that app files didn't c

Kind of sad to see several startup products copied in Lion and iOS 5. For example: Dropbox - Air Drop in Lion Readability - Safari Reader Read it Later / Instapaper - the Safari Reading list Also interesting to note how blat

Yeah, I had a very similar experience when a friend of mine got mugged in Chicago (next to wicker park). We were able to call the police within a couple of minutes, and within the next 5 minutes a special response unit got to us, took a de

I wish this chart did a little more to explain the meaning of the units. A big red dot corresponding to 559 nano-greys / hour (the highest reading when I viewed the chart) probably doesn't mean anything to most people. That rate is about 2

What about Pixar? Couldn't they turn their renderfarm towards bitcoins and crowd everyone else out?

Which totally explains the existence of the NHS. Either the Eton-conspiracy is less powerful than you think, or they have a bizarre concern for the health of the British people. I apologize for the snarkiness, but really? Comparing the way

While I agree with you that it would be great to have a viable third party in the United States, the very structure of the voting system here (the single member district plurality system) has been shown to favor a two party system under var

To me, it seems that Valve probably sees this as a great opportunity to try to steal some of the PS3s userbase for their PC/Mac steam platform. Anyone who has played an fps with a mouse/keyboard combo knows how superior it is to console con

Which is actually what the article says: "Apple can’t stick to its own rules with the gigantic iOS App Store." and at the end: "App Store reviewers are not consistent with enforcing the rules, and therefore censorship still seems arbitrary.

The phone looks great and is everything I want in a smart phone - especially the up-to-date OS that is unencumbered by a custom UI. However, the timing of this announcement is terrible. If google really wanted to win over people who feel t

Or perhaps, don't launch with a minimal viable product with plans to improve it later unless you have a financial structure that allows you to stay in business for long enough to actually improve it.

I could be wrong, but isn't that the case for most everyone on the planet? Looking at this map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system it seems that with the exception of China, Japan, and Korea (which has very limited use) the whole
