I did not know this site existed, and now I do. I predict that I will burn through these at a fast rate while my builds are running... Thanks for more interesting reading material, HN!

Very cool! When I was 14 it was all about hacking apart QBasic. Strangely no one wanted to buy my Gorillas clone... Congratulations!

I for one have no reservations whatsoever sharing ANY medical data gathered concerning any illnesses I have. If it helps save just one life, it is worth sacrificing whatever illusions I have left of privacy as a patient.

" Every couple of days, you do need to reboot the phone. " Love how this was tossed out there as an afterthought. Huge, obnoxious deal-breaker. I love losing state every 2 days! /sarcasm

Sort of an aside, but this article has the worst graphics imaginable. Why is about 1/2 the graphic made of garbage stock photos or "helpful" graphics like that giant up-arrow with a percent symbol on it? Ugh.

He makes an excellent point about that nonsense 'even we at RIM don't see the unencrypted data' which RIM seems to think convinces people. How can makers of the software doing the encryption not know the plaintext?

Someone should make a "Co-Worker Punnett Square" with these options. But which traits are dominant and which are recessive? ;)

Looks like a good way to strip accelerationistas with too much money of their excess burden. 25K for a 9-week course is absurd, in my opinion.

Sounds like a very solidly-grounded CEO. I wouldn't merge with FB at gunpoint; all signs suggest they burn money like it's a fucking fossil fuel. Side note: What was all that garbage about the accommodations at the beginning? MA needs an

The A-team theme really changed this from the "Whoa, cool!" category to the rarefied "People need to see this NOW!" class. Awesome use of an NXT.

Oh gee, you're right. It wasn't posted last week, so it must be irrelevant and worthless, right?

It's on Reuters now, too. Clever of them to wait until after the closing bell, but man oh man, that stock is going to plummet tomorrow, I imagine. Hope he's all right...

Wow, that is almost unbelievably creepy. I can't even really put my finger on why it disturbs me so much, but it definitely does. It certainly does not make me want to donate to OLPC, even though I find their efforts very noble and worthwh

They used to make a 12" PowerBook that is still regarded as one of the best form factors Apple ever made. I doubt they'll start that again, though, or trend any smaller because as the article mentions, Apple already has too many competin

I just ordered one on abebooks - hard to resist at only a dollar plus shipping! I always liked those books when I was younger. I wish 7 year old sspencer had encountered this particular one...
