Only point I agree with about the Bluetooth headsets is that they're expensive. Although I must admit, the bigger ones do make you look a bit like Frankenstein's monster I go running all the time with my Soundsports and have zero

Out of curiosity, is this just for comments/submissions referring to other HN users or does it cover comments/submissions that refer to anyone whether they're a HN user or not?

"Just like most people on earth today, former VP Al Gore apparently never practices what he preaches."

> This is a really amateurish attempt to smear Gore and the renewable energy movement in general. I'd be more inclined to call it warranted criticism - he fully deserves to be called on this. As for a 'smear' of renewable

Everyone seems totally ok with this, I can't really understand why though? Back in 2007 he was called on his absurd energy consumption and pledged he was going to do something about it. That right there, in isolation, is fine - he got

I unconsciously love my Watch. The battery life has improved MASSIVELY since Gen1, the fitness stuff is groovy, being able to control music is handy, alarms and notifications are brilliant. Just being able to not take my phone with me when

That's a problem with implants now , I'm hanging out for something that doesn't have those problems.

Neato, from a 'user' perspective how is it? Does it feel or work any different to a usual tooth?

It always struck me as funny that if you want to get into Medicine you can either do the normal MD course that covers 95% of the body (obviously, you may be able to specialize much later on) OR you can do the other 5% as a Dentist (and agai

Does anyone use Arduino in production though? I always got the impression that it was more of a toy/home-user kind of thing?

That's probably the weirdest browser behaviour I've seen on any browser! I don't even know how I would describe that to someone :/

Right now, we're in the middle of a change freeze and have just finished our major project for the year. I've spent the last few weeks going off on my own and documenting things, automating things, tinkering with things etc and I&

Having food in your stomach probably doesn't do anything for a hangover but it definitely helps you while you're drinking. Alcohol on an empty stomach is never a good idea, unfortunately quite a bit of personal experience in this

Mate, have you ever been to a festival? I've been to 12, both in Australia and abroad with a mix of single and multi-day events. I'm yet to see a festival that maintains any level of regard for 'worldly concerns'. Unfort

I prefer just tethering my phone, it's generally cheaper just to get a bigger data plan than it is to get a new service for $device number 2.

I keep a small Moleskine notepad and a 'Space Pen' in my pocket, mostly just for remembering things and stuff like shopping lists etc. I've tried heaps of apps to do the same thing, but I found something I didn't like ab

To be fair, 100x does sound a little ridiculous. It's like calling someone "Lisp Jesus". I'd go one step further and say this little trend of quantifying how amazing people are by representing them as a multiple of how m

I've got oddly fond memories of being 13 (?) years old with an eMac that was well below the minimum spec for running WoW and spending WEEKS scouring the net trying to find all sorts of tweaks etc to make it run. Eventually got it to la

We have a long history here in SA of being the first people in the world to do stuff, and it nearly never (I mean this literally) works out well. For once, I'd love it if our ever changing State Government would just spend its limited

Previously all you had to worry about with your car was someone cutting your breaks or stuffing some prawns in your A/C, but with "driverless" cars you need to suddenly be concerned about Russian teenagers making you drive of

I agree, Android is particularly bad for this as well. I work with someone still using an iPhone 4 - works fine for him in that he can make and receive calls on it which is all he uses it for, but thanks to shoddy update support I can still
