I skimmed that article, but I like how it went from very accusatory and "how dare they!" about Disney's adaptation of the style to confessing that it's ultimately a good thing because it helps get people into Kimba and t

Honestly I think Maxis deserves a ton of blame as well. They operate semi-autonomously for how long and they routinely churned out terrible games. On reddit, I see far more people blame EA than I do Maxis. And while I'm all for EA gett

Read the article. They don't care where you're from. If your copy isn't legit, you can upgrade to a legit copy of 10. >"We are upgrading all qualified PCs, genuine and non-genuine, to Windows 10,"

Then why not just save yourself some money and get a "dumb" TV? I can only imagine they jack the price up a hundred or two for the "smart"

Android used to have an hour-long window after you purchased an app to get a full refund with the tap of your screen. Then they knocked it down to 15 minutes, which, depending on the app, may not be long enough to install and test out the a

I think they define creator as Disney the company rather than Disney the man.

As someone who finally shelled out the money for it and a few paid plugins, I'm really glad to hear this!

Yeah it's great for me because the development cycle doesn't really faze me. I'm not really itching for anything new or for any bugs to be fixed. And if I do itch for something new, odds are there's a plugin for it.

I'm just impressed that a community college level astronomy course had math in it. Mine was nothing but familiarizing students stargazing and terminology.

Yeah I'll never forget the shock I had when I first got into their control panel after experiencing the well-designed half of the site. Youch.

I think them becoming the default on iOS devices will help a lot. I know a lot of people don't know/care the difference between DDG and Google, but those that do will take notice. And maybe a few of them will make that their defau

On one hand I find it kind of useful for Google to figure out what I mean for me. Sometimes I just struggle to put what I'm looking for into words so I'll just give it a few keywords and it generally finds what I want. On the othe

I have but one, and it's that it consistently fails to find me what I need as well as Google does. I made a serious effort this week to use DuckDuckGo and made it my default search engine. I wasted so much time googling stuff I'd

I really like the "Hey Siri!" feature, although why it's only usable while the phone is charging is beyond me. I thought maybe battery concerns since it has to be constantly listening, but I wouldn't think it would be th

Dropped it as soon as I heard about the appointment. Purchased some webhosting space and setup Owncloud and I haven't looked back since. Does the exact same thing and it's actually cheaper when you consider that I use the web host

If only it came preset with a few common resolutions. Or at the very least make it easier to set your own presets. As it stands you have to resize the window to the size you want and save it. You can't just input a resolution and save

You say that as though we can't do both. Have you seen NASA's pathetic little budget? And who's to say it has to be a government that does this? Companies like SpaceX are stepping up and picking up NASA's slack at a rapi

Hell,if they kept the same price and added the sleekness, power, and recharge functionality I'd feel a little less taken advantage of.

My thing isn't that I don't trust any one particular Google product. It's that I don't feel safe putting all of my eggs into one basket. A year ago, Google was my phone, my search engine, my email, video hosting, my DNS,

In what way isn't it easy/fast now? Upgrading from something like IE7 is as easy and downloading/installing and you're done. It'll hold your hand through carrying over your data from the old browser and even ask if

I've never understood the "well we have to keep IE6 because of this one obscure program" as the excuse to why IT departments force their users to use IE6. Keep IE6 for that one obscure, poorly-made program. Give then a copy o

It is and it isn't. It's such a horrible display of capitalism, advertising, and excess. But at the same time it's really neat technology and it makes for a pretty unique atmosphere. However, "Garish nightmare" is h

If HN is as technologically in-touch as we like to say we are, then the site itself should adhere to web standards. The current standard is responsive design that is device-independent. "Just use an app" is a terrible way to look

As someone who jumped from Android to iPhone (it was curiosity, not a "I'm fed up with this! ARGH!" thing), I've been seriously missing the ability to use different keyboards. I cannot wait to be able to use them again.
