It would be absurd to expect Apple not to be influenced by the rest of the industry, but the scale of the similarities by Android (compare pre- and post-iPhone Android) and especially Samsung (the Galaxy S with TouchWiz was essentially a 3G

I made an open source Hacker News app that's inspired from HackerWeb: https://github.com/weiran/Hackers No iPad version yet, working on that for 2.0.

Thanks for the hat tip. I did think about implementing comments like Reddit / Alien Blue, but I found that it involved too much scrolling up and down and having a button at the bottom reduced that.

Hi HN, Developer here. Hackers is my first project and I'd love to get some feedback from HN. I decided to focus on reading HN as that's what I mainly do on my iPhone. Hopefully that's enough differentiation from the excellent news:yc app t

I wonder if this is more to do with HFS+ rather than Finder.

I would beg to differ. I much prefer to work with AutoLayout constraints rather than some custom XML layout like with Android or WP.

You flagged an article because you didn't agree with the author's opinion? I guess I should go flag half of the the Hacker News top posts.

Why are you the judge of a fair price? Also if you disagree with the price, just don't buy it. It doesn't give you the moral justification to pirate it, at least admit that.

Almost every tech news site has interpreted this incorrectly, mainly because of a lack of understand of the patent process. The Verge is one of the few to provide a balanced and well researched article on this: http://www.theverge.com/2012

The best solution is to have an omnidirectional connector like Apple's lightning port.

Turns out I had to delete the old network from Network preferences and add it again, it was probably set to 2.4GHz only like it was originally. Now I'm on the 5GHz again I seem to be getting a more consistent 450Mbps link speed although act

My point was that I'm running a customised set like the one he describes and my speeds are fine, I sometimes even get a 450Mbps link speed. Saying that, I see no downsides to leaving it fully auto and I think I'll leave it at these settings

I don't get this behaviour with my (latest-gen) Airport Extreme. I have a separate 5GHz network and get consistently 360Mbps to 450Mbps connection to it. Are you sure your Airport isn't faulty? Changing it to a single name for both networks

How is it much better than Apple's maps app? It's just a thin wrapper over Nokia's web site (here.net), and for my location the data is worse and there's no satellite imagery at all. Directions are far more limited (public transport routing
