I've been with Netflix since 2004, and tried Blockbuster Online a couple of times but always went with Netflix. The reason? Better selection, better website, better customer service. I thought the in-store renting deal with Blockbuster woul

a great article. the OS is a thing of the past. Our 4 year old Windows PC takes about 2-3 minutes to boot up and allow Firefox to browse. It's too long. I'm NOT willing to re-load everything, that would take an entire DAY. My Mac takes half

Yet another Apple-bashing article. Really, I thought HN was above this crap, this kind of submission is better on Reddit or Digg... Cmon folks, get real. Most of the people who buy Macs want OSX, they aren't even considering a Windows machi

I'm unable to downvote anything on this site as my karma score is too low, so I just vote everything up instead, even if I disagree, I upvote. Everyone who reads this comment will downvote it though. Weird.

yes, my first computer was a timex sinclair 1000 with the 16k memory expansion pack plugged in the back, and then when that blew up (just stopped accepting keyboard inputs one day) I got my first "real" computer, a Commodore 64!! I'm also l

we sacrificed an extra bedroom in order to live closer to work and in a better city. we have no regrets at all, we love our area and having a quick 30 minute bus ride to and from work without having to drive at all is a blessing. eventually

so now that Apple has the best music organization program out there, people can only complain about it. I remember back in 1999, when I began to listen to MP3's, we used a program on the PC that was a major pain in the ass, but it was the o
