Does anyone else here feel that the current iPhone and Android apps are just an in-between step to mobile-apps being simply websites in a mobile browser?

Was Microsoft ever such a big brand? Google is, Apple is, Dell is, but with Microsoft it is more like many Brands: Windows, XBox, Zune.. I think the main things that people immediately associate with the actual word "Microsoft" might be mi

Good comment, but what makes you believe StackOverflow is "incredibly more complicated" than Facebook?

Free press, free speech, anti-corruption laws, many rules and protocols in business proceedings. Higher standard of living and higher income provide less incentive for illegal activities.

Here in Germany there's a rumor that when Mercedes launches a new car-model, the next day it's in the parking lot of BMW where the engineers are taking it apart completely to see what is new at Mercedes. In fact, when they make a new car, t

I wonder how many people after having bought the VHS, then the DVD will now buy the Blu-Ray box.. The article is entertaining.

Warning: Big pictures of food inside. (only click when you have just eaten or are about to eat.) Seriously: Nice idea and implementation. I'll bookmark and hope for much more content to come.

Another mockup app? Oh, well. But jMockups is nicely done. Personally I'd like a feature to export to PDF and/or PPT and a print-view (which automatically takes care of the PDF-export). The Popup-Controls are well-done, but I'd like to use

Nice service, just tried searching "save" and I find it funny that what apparently is the standard icon still shows a floppy disk. Somebody should survey 10 year old kids if they know what it means..

I've been downvoted a few times and it was usually deserved. Also I had cases where initially it would go to -2 or -3 and then go up again to +2 or +3. Thus I can't confirm your observation of "blind down-voting". Sometimes a popular HN use

This makes Google a white-hat hacker that shows a security problem. I've just been to Spain and was able to connect to unencrypted wifi spots on almost every street-corner with my phone.

I'm speculating, but I suppose value from this data can be anything from geographically locating ip-addresses to improve location based services to wireless-router manufacturer statistics.

I don't remember why Zune has a bad name, but I suppose the early models weren't as good. The 2nd gen Zune that I owned was a great mp3-player, definitely up to par to the iPod. And if WP7 has a Zune-player built in then that is a selling p

The best music player I've used so far is FooBar2000 on Windows. I wish there was an exact clone for Linux.

Great design, and although the idea seems trivial I clicked around quite a bit. I could imagine to visit the page with my phone occasionally if the mobile client is well-made. Can't test right now.

I'm using catch.com for text snippets I need to have both on my computer and on my Android phone. So I wouldn't have a use for your app I think. Suggestion: I could imagine to use an app that gives me a few new words to learn in a foreign l

Hm I have a question: What would it take to register the domain myself, without going through goDaddy and others? Can't one set up a DNS-Server and start propagating records, while perhaps informing the authority that you are using a (previ
