Great! Just what we need - more disoriented people on the streets. However useful the iPhone/iPods maybe, the sight of white headphones makes me jump. It's too bad that we can't go on for a little bit meditating with the sounds of the day.

Though I don't have any personal experience dealing with this in the real world, I do have an answer for those with access to an academic institution. Usually, the big research universities (in the U.S. that I know of) have a technology tra

Hacker News may not be the best sample unless if you are trying to find out how many geeks (let's face it, if you are reading this you are at least a geek :-) own a smartphone.

Well I agree with the time saved part, but in the long run the $1.50s add up to something of significance. But, my point is that when gas is expensive and you're in dire need of it, fill it up as much as is necessary until the next favorabl

Is it me or did Apple just leave the 13" in the dark with a Core 2 Duo? So much for a happy ending for back-to-school'ers.

Haha nice. Now, throw in a head tracking camera, you've got a winner.

Definitely seems like a no-brainer that Apple forgot. Does this request means that the weather will get current location and update temp. when the app is opened? Or a dynamic update as you move along - I mean if this is the case, I'd love t

This is an amusing post. For me, buying gas is just as similar to stocks. The trick is to decide whether to fill 'er up full or not. Almost always, a full tank is a bad bet unless if you know from experience that it's the cheapest station i

Hmm, on first thought, checkout this hot thread going on right now: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1261499 It's about dead tree version of Hacker News. I am sure these guys are going through the same questions as you are. Well, withou

This is hilarious: "Until a fix is provided by Apple, OIT recommends not connecting your iPad device to the campus network as it is likely it will malfunction."

It's still convenient to have offline files be automatically imported and editable online and be able to pull latest versions offline if required. Yes, a poor man's version control for documents for the rest of us.

Well, valley or not, your idea needs to survive in the "real" world i.e. built and wanted by people. Do some homework on that and get crackin'. Be so good that they can't ignore you :-) As about tech cofounders, that's a tricky one - it h

Looks promising. But, then again, the reason why I wouldn't use it is because of remembering to open another app to upload etc. Dropbox helps me stay lazy :-)
