I have bought a kindle, upon which are stored many books. I have also bought many physical books. Have I purchased any kindle books? Well, only if they aren't available in physical form. I am confused by people who believe that things on th

No, we don't, but billion-dollar is a far more appropriate thing to associate with instagram than world-changing.

A space program is about the only worthwhile thing apple could do with that money. The world doesn't need any more novel distractions, or rich investors.

Awfully rich coming from an entity which makes absolutely no content whatsoever.

Very nice, it looks promising. I can't find any way to view comments, I think the list font could be smaller, and please use a png for the splash image instead of a jpeg. Hacker News is one of the main sites I browse on my phone, so a dedic

"This agreement ended a six-month spat between the two in which Zynga accused Vostu of making near-identical copies its titles." Oh, that's rich. Vostu's lawyers must be a special kind of incompetent not to point out that this is Zynga's en

Well, I'm disappointed that I won't be able to make my dream app without buying new hardware: a gesture recognizer that allows me to close programs by giving them the finger.

Wouldn't this mean that US-patent-infringing software developed in New Zealand couldn't be sold elsewhere in the world?

I also doubt that m/any people who read Hacker News spend any time playing Farmville and it's ilk.

Well they're right about the new algorithm preferring high-quality sites; now I no longer have to manually ignore results from expert sexchange anymore!

God forbid nobody could get rich simply by having a lot of money. If that were the case, people might have to actually provide society with a valuable product or service to earn a living!

You do have a good point there, but "For the most part, though, at least according to Charvat, the radar array is all about more efficient killing: “This is meant for the urban war fighter … those situations where it’s very stressful and i

The right decision, in my opinion. As popular as the are marketed to be, most people don't have iThings.

'A Brighter Future' is actually a pretty distinctive message; Diaspora have really, really well lit offices.

It is Microsoft's problem if Noober McGreenerson searches for that error code and downloads the "fix" that ends up infesting their computer. Most people are more than happy to blame Michaelsoft for their computer shitting the bed after they

These guys are gonna get the fuck sued outta them; Asking for money is asking for trouble. Nice idea though, hopefully they open source the important guts before Apple's lawyer-jackals pounce.

Yes. High quality, well designed laptops emblazoned with a glowing Windows logo on the lid, bundled with none of the crapware that infects most laptops, would do worlds of good for their public image.

Trust Notch to make a low-fi 3D game about punching bricks. Pretty awesome though!

The only similarity I see is black keys on a silver chassis; the shape of the chassis itself looks nothing like a macbook.

I'd wager it also has much to do with nerds not knowing how to be 'dumb', and thus, not being able to forge meaningful connections with people of lesser mental capacity. Having interests and vocabularies that are alienating to people who st

"She said that she fully expects the new software to become more widely available and end up on less expensive operating systems and devices." She also apparently has no idea how software works. Pirates are not Magicians, they are Pirates.

This makes sense to me. If you're using google to find 'search', you're probably not searching for google.

No, no, no, you're thinking of Wave. Google -Wave- will replace email. Remember?

So, Facebook is going the way of MySpace then?
