Because then, if you handed your iPad to another person, they wouldn't be able to instantly know everything about how to use it if they had used one previously. Apple goes to a lot of effort to be consistent.

Please don't use URL shorteners here. Space isn't a constraint, and lots of people like knowing where a link goes to (in this case, it's just an image of the tablet, so it's safe, but it could lead anywhere).

I flew yesterday, and arrived early enough to watch the crew get onto the plane. There was a cursory check of their IDs, but very cursory. The main thing seemed to be that everyone knew each other; the crew had worked together before, and t

Fair enough; I will jokingly call your post misleading too, then, before continuing onwards. How is it misleading? Going through, it seems to (sort of) address the one issue you mentioned ("cancer IS a disease of the modern world; We grow a

Because the article is interesting, even if the title is misleading. We vote on the content of articles, not just the titles, as you seem to believe (note that you ask "why ... did you vote this ... statement to the top of HN").

I'm not seeing any indication on the site that it will stop being free in January (the only mention that it might stop being free is in the most recent blog post, which only says that the "beta period is absolutely free"). You might want to

Are all of those 8 friends using the same network? Are you on the same network? Are the texts affected from within the network, or ones being sent from other networks?

From 1977, it's worth noting (or perhaps 1969, depending on whether you look at the text or the url).

Same for me. Interestingly, according to downforeveryoneorjustme, scripting.com is down as is dropbox.com. This is a bit odd, as it seems to load and work perfectly for me, albeit with https.

Does anyone stay logged into their router when they're not using it? And don't most sessions expire fairly quickly, anyways? Besides that, this appears to only work with wireless routers, based on how google is locating them.

The worst part? They're all the same video (_NMqPT6oKJ8 is its id on youtube). Stop reposting this, dammit!

I, personally, am fine with those when they come after the article. However, asking me to like, upvote, retweet, subscribe to your RSS feed, or do anything indicating that I like an article before I have read it is a really, really good way

Well, if you're not writing anything to disk, nothing should get cached. So PNG caching wouldn't work. But I'm not so sure about flash storage ... if it's using a bit of flash to store that, then flashblock should stop it, if it's allowed t

I'm inclined to think that if you can't see why a product is useful to use after a week, it's probably not worth it. But then, my experiences with DDG have mostly consisted of comparing its results with google, and finding that the interfac
