I couldn't agree more that iTunes is a pretty horrible Windows app, I don't know anyone that ever used it as their primary music player/manager. It's a fairly stark contrast to using it on OSX, where you pretty much don't ever think about i

Well, yeah, but if he hadn't run his own hedge fund he wouldn't have a TV show about the stock market. Saying Jim Cramer doesn't make his living telling people what to do with their money is like saying Julia Child didn't make her living te

The note at the end about the lack of advertising, the lack of a free "lite" version and the $4.99 price point are, IMO, the red flags (aside from the whole "not everyone is going to get rich off of the app store" thing). Honestly, the adv

Understood. Topical, content-laden jokes only. The Erlang response does sound like good and proper geek humor though. Well played HN, well played.

What is it the "Linux fanboys" should eat, the large Resource Kit you need to download to get sleep functionality in batch scripts?
