He mentions that it was his "first ever parachute landing", but I can't imagine a SR-71 test pilot wouldn't have been trained in parachute landings. Any idea why?

They shure didn't want this to happen but they also demonstrated they were able to manage engine failure. That's worth something for the future.

I worked on this last week and I found GeoNames' results to be quite poor. The best replacement I found when going over Google's limits was Yahoo's PlaceFinder. I integrated Google, GeoNames and Yahoo in a npm module: https://github.com/sy

Just looking at the title, I thought it was going to be an article on how the iPhone 5 is just 30% better in every aspect but has no actual new feature... I guess it's no that far off!

I think the stats will clearly show that it wouldn't have been funded without the Gruber post. What puzzles me is that the HN crowd seems to be the target audience for whatever it is App.net wants to do but Dalton & friends totally fail

Reading this, my guess is they will be replacing the physical home button with screen area. They may also have found a way to put the top speaker (but what about camera & sensors ??) under the display somehow. Any way, I hope the next i

To me, it boils down to this: Sparrow is a success story because its acquisition will make tens of teams try to imitate it and innovate further and we'll end up with some even more amazing email clients. (hopefully some of them open source

Looking at how much they raised until now, I'd say that if they don't have some powerful communication relays planned for the next 2 weeks they won't make it to $500k. I don't know whether this is due to the fact that they're not on Kicksta
