I've been dying for something like this - but in stores like Walmart. Sometimes, it's not enough to know where "housewares" is, but where a specific product might be. I know this goes a bit beyond what Apple is doing here, but I think these

Sure, but what is the upper limit for peak performance for each individual? If you can't use IQ to compare to other people's IQ (because of innumerable variations imposing on peak performance) and you can't use it to compare to your own pot

It's not that people deny it exists, or discount it all together - it's just a terrible indicator or measurement of one's capabilities. Measurements should be accountable. A few cups of coffee or a bad sleep shouldn't matter if IQ is as rel

Honestly, out of all the HTML5 > Flash rhetoric, this probably represents the greatest leap forward when comparing the two. It was really the ability to capture webcam data that made YouTube a success in the beginning. People who look a

I had a hard time explaining what the site actually does without going over the title character limit, so here goes: Users are presented with a video of a child about to be abused by their parent/guardian. The user is prompted to call a tol

I am currently working on a project that indexes beats and sounds to a .json object tied with a JS library that dispatches events based on the timing of a media file associated. Eventually, it would be nice to have all forms of equipment ta

Siri was only for US when it launched, and the screen shots of the current implementation don't look any more favorable.

Bias is one thing, but this relatively picky, especially for Gruber who can't stand when people pick apart Apple pre-dev. I love Apple, but I really respect what Microsoft is trying to do here. The whole "You did great, kid, but maybe next

Great and all, but I really just wish FB would stop assuming I need the side/chat bar thing. It seems like every 10th visit or so I have to "go offline" and close that damn bar. I really, really feel that it's being pushed on users for no o

> Adobe were very quick to publicly criticize Apple for not supporting Flash in iOS, and Apple were very quick to respond with equally stern comments. It should be right vs. wrong, not "I have an iPad, so therefore..." The vs. narrative

Agreed. Further to my point, the average person will take a look at a lego block vs. the video they want to see and make their assumptions and decisions based on that, assuming other factors match or exceed iPad's.

Right, except the Android tablets are not better than an iPad (read: no individual Android branded tablet has exceeded the sales of the iPad). Apple's position in the market isn't static. If a competing product came out and was better tha

I am going to get downvoted for criticizing an ideology - especially capitalism, which I would consider HN the best place for. We'll see. These technological evolutions are not lightyears away. They are around the corner and they are coming

So let's start picking apart this article. And the other article that talks about the end of capitalism. And then the next 50, 100, 1000 articles that prey on our confused notion that capitalism is the end-game for eternity. Watch as self-d

Either CBS is trying to attract Anonymous, or looking to increase pirated downloads of Star Trek-related works. Either way, I think they'll get positive outcomes from this action.

*Oh, and the freaky tab-above-the-tabs thing on the title bar.* For me, that specifically spells of bad design. It looks like a multi-headed monster committee shouted, "WELL CAN'T YOU JUST PUT IT UP IN THE TITLE BAR?????"
