Truth. The full comment: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do ret

In fact, I didn't hear of _why until he disappeared, and @jresig made his testimonial to him. Now retrospectively, I admire his creativity and humor... including an appreciation for his virtual "death", if it was meant to be a part of his

So an OS that was originally intended for netbooks, before it's even released, has switched targets to the newly formed iPad-like tablet market? Suspect, but not unbelievable. On another note, It still impresses me just how quickly the mark

I've heard him give the same talk at several different conferences, several of them unrelated (Entrepreneurship conferences, Blackberry conferences, etc.) Talk about exponential progress, Singularity U, mind uploading, and his belief he'll

It's an interesting ratio, how many articles on Hacker News are new articles and stories, and how many are old news submitted ironically. It's hardly news, but you can learn a lot from looking at old articles--one benefit HN has over altern

The "Palm" brand name still has huge mindshare. I wouldn't say the Palm brand has been so much stagnated in recent years as it has been under-marketed. A large marketing push by HP for new Palm phones, with the well-received WebOS behind it

The best part is that they mixed several different video references together. (The "six bajillion times", and the "Hyah!" at the end)

Have you tried Firefox 4 betas? (Legitimate question.) It feels significantly faster than 3 on my machines. Much further on the track of a Chrome-like browsing experience, though there's still many areas it can improve before release. I'm p

Posterous looks fascinating. Many blogs are using it. I was considering switching from tumblr to see if there were compelling benefits. But this campaign turned me off; Posterous, by claiming it is the successor of all blogging software, ma

It's not a solution for micropayments, in the vein that Radiohead's pay-what-you-want model isn't a solution for the music industry selling CDs. But for casual content creators, the ability to buy a beer for a particularly well-written arti

There's also ~215,000 fans on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/KIN#!/KIN?v=wall One could probably count up the number of comments which mention owning a Kin, to confirm whether 503's lowballing it or not.

Most importantly, the spec really is a straight copypaste of the decoder’s source code. As a specification, that’s not very useful or professional. We hope that over time, this will improve. This still baffles me. Why hasn't Google spent
