Lets at least compare the products in question. The link in your comment compares the Galaxy Tab 7 to the iPad 2, and even then is making its comparison based on very old pictures. I went to Samsung's and Apple's website and downloaded imag

Lets not get into a conversation about the state of software patents in this country, or the quality and breadth of Apple's patents. But I think it seems a bit unreasonable to ban the sale of an entire device which is based on hundreds if n

I'm sorry your Android experience wasn't the same as mine. If you're talking about vendor specific 3rd party software, then yes I agree there was/is some terrible UI skins out their. But that is what happens when you create software that is

Apple should focus on competing on the quality of THEIR product. Not rely on lawyers and back room deals to cripple the competitions products. There doesn't seem to be any information stating whether or not Apple made any attempt to tell re

Why is this the top comment? Did you even click the link? 54.6 != 36.3. Not even almost equal... Also, don't knock it till you try it.

It's funny how people's definition of stealing versus copying changes when it's their own skin in the game. Or at least when it involves the ecosystem they use...

Are you serious? How desperate are you to refute this claim? Nielsen is one of the top and most respected marketing research companies in the world. They have an entire division dedicated to mobile research, called what else? Nielsen Mobile

What the hell does this mean? I preordered my Nexus7 weeks ago and the charge finally finalized and hit my card today. I have not received any emails or any information of any kind from Google since I preordered. Google I love you, but plea

This article mentions that digg was "outmaneuvered" by Facebook and Twiiter. But I don't think they are even really related, I was a Digg user in the early days and it's Reddit that killed Digg in my opinion.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I wasn't able to click to actually see the itineraries created even though there are "View Details" links. The other links I tried to click on the page also just hung. I guess all the hn traffic took them dow

I use Better Terminal Emulator on my Galaxy Nexus and it has support to map CRTL and ALT to several different keys. You can also map the arrows, which is handy if you are using it on the phone with no physical keyboard.

Can anybody comment on when us regular folk will be getting our hands on the Nexus 7 if we pre-ordered it? (Other than 2-3 weeks) Bloggers get to have all the fun...

I hope that this case brings new facts to lights. This stuff is too scary to be kept a secret.

Hey just got the email after signing up. I was using face.com's facebook facial recognition API, to match pictures taken with a webcam to somebody's facebook friends. I'm looking mostly for facial recognition/comparison, facebook integratio

That sounds good, I think freemium is the way to go. When I first found face.com I thought to myself that I would have no problem paying for their service. I am definitely interested in your project. And I think developing in the open will

My face.com app was simply a side project not something to make money on or even sell. They provided a good service for free, and made it way easier then other way of doing CV. If you were actually interested in this project space I'mnot su

I signed up for your beta. What features do you plan on offering? Even if you give your code away for free, I bet you could charge some money for access to an easy to use REST API for whatever you come up with.

I literally just finished a hardware project based on the face.com API. I want to be furious but I guess you cant blame them for creating such a great product. I knew it must be too good be true, and free forever. It sucks though because th

Lots of haters here, just because the OP said Segway Killer in the title. I think this could have a legitimate market to replace things like gas powered scooters. Details seem thin right now, but if it works well and the price is right they

I don't have any experience using the wireless SD shield, but after looking at it, I see what you are saying. It forces the connection on 0 and 1 and then has a switch to use when you need to program it? That seems like a silly limitation o

I think this whats really at work here. For the same reason they won't let Mozilla, Opera, or Google make their own web browsers. Apple is affraid of people building their own HTML5 apps and subsequent app stores. This would cut into Apple'

1) My point was not that Apple used FRAND patents against Android OEMs but that not all patents used by Android OEMs against Apple are FRAND patents. 2) Not sure how this is related but they probably should be Samsung is asking for a few mo
