How long ago did you experience those issues? I still have some time to go until I launch whatever it is I decide to build. I hope the Mono team finds a solution for them eventually.

That's what I usually do, but this time is different. This marks the end of HN as I knew it (for me anyway), and I felt the need to express how I feel about it. You don't just lose something you cherish and stay quiet, that's a very difficu

I can't believe this is on the front page and at number 2. Hacker News has officially jumped the shark for me. Yes, down vote me all you want.

The camera is one of those things that makes you say "why didn't I think of that first." I was kinda allergic to all the tablet hype that is surrounding the tech scene lately, but this really makes me consider one. I want one, actually.

I'm not sure what the problem is either. I also have complete control over my privacy settings, but it seems you can't say that in this particular topic because the army of group-thinkers will down-vote you (read: censor your comment) to ob

Why is he being down-voted? (-3 at the moment) Oh right, "we don't like his comment, let's get rid of it." Jesus, people, behave. He's making his case based on his knowledge of the situation and he's doing so in an educated manner. Me, pers

I don't think he offended Yegge in any way. It's a valid point to make when someone goes to make inaccurate predictions: you have to take that into consideration for future articles. But well, this is Hacker News these days.

I think he nailed it with prediction #7. Many of you are saying he was late because the iPhone was released in 2007. Well, the iPhone SDK wasn't released until 2008 and the industry didn't step up to the game until 2009 when a bunch of Andr

Not only that, but anything released by Apple or Google is omg awesome and fantastic, and anything released by Microsoft is another me-too product, no matter how innovative it actually is.

The Zune is not an indication of "how well they'll stack up," because by the time they released the Zune, Apple had already sold about 100 million iPods. This time they're both starting from zero, so it'll be very interesting to see who g

Yes, I understand your point and his point. But in some parts he talks as if we were flooded by one-purpose devices like Amazon's kindle, and Apple was going to be our savior by introducing a general-purpose tablet. And that's not the case,

I agree with that, but number one article for most of the day? It seems a bit exaggerated to me. This is macrumors material, in my opinion.

Sorry for the meta-comment but why does this article has so many votes? I read the whole thing and it's nothing more than pure speculation and "analisys." What I took from it is that The Apple Tablet will be a full working device like the m

I don't think a product X is better than a product Y just because it's open. That doesn't work for me.
