This is the reason why I am reluctant to dive into the android ecosystem. And i wonder why not more people are? Your phone becomes basically a giant google-keylogger, with geo capabilities.

Are the developers at Cupertino themselves not fed up with this? Working on 2013 Mac Pro's or perhaps, they're all on hackintoshes.

That's great from Griffin, kudos to them for doing this. And shame on Apple for dropping the ball. It's too bad we'll never know what would have happened under Jobs. What annoys me is that for example Lenovo has 30 notebook m

There is very little information in this post. The only question I had after reading this was: how does one become become a blogger that gets a Macbook Pro from Apple to review?

If you read all the comments here, nobody seams really 100% happy with their laptop. And apple really blew it.

Also, lets not forget Apple is under some largely false pressure. We have been reading time and time again, basically since Cook in charge that real innovation stopped. I personally think that this could be one of the factors why there is s

Anyone else here still working on a Macbook Pro 17" ? Seems like everybody forgot about it, but was a great machine back in the day. And you could even buy a matte version of the screen.

What I absolutely do not comprehend: is it so difficult to upgrade the Mac Pro's? Isn't it a matter of just adding more powerful hardware to it? Like I did myself back in the days, when I built my own PCs. But then in mass product

In Windows 95 days, it was pretty normal i'd format and reinstall my parents pc Every 3-4 months. Thanks Bill.

And some day, it might take a few years, some smart guy will quote me that Android is like Windows, back in the day, and that Apple is still Apple.

Oh so he GAVE is old hardware and GAVE his credit card to this relative. How conveniently coincidental. I think Apple did fine here, actually.

Their API is still quite generous compared to others. The only thing I blame them is the insane prices for gnip data, which alienates any normal developer outfit that isn't overly funded.

You're wrong, it used to be $5 per domain: http://m.imgur.com/sXonmsy Good job in the downvoting.

I dont really see what this game can accomplish? Also the link to the scientific study, leads to a meanignless page. Perhaps its rather a placebo game.

Very true. Empires build by companies with low ethics and that are known for bullying competition and poor integrity. Some skepticism here would be appropriate. I guess it's still better then them buying more, eh, yachts. Still, I can&

Nice that's it's in php/MySQL so it works anywhere.

I noticed a certain point, experimenting with todo lists and productivity apps, became a thing of its own. Tweaking Omnifocus to perfection, for example. I threw them all out and am using a reporters notebook (which is a good format, btw),

I keep finding great non-tech articles here on HN. It's a bit of intentional serendipity, sorta. The other day an article led me to Atlas Obscura, great find.

Yup, seems like they stopped caring under Cook. On iOS the shift button indication still sucks after all these years. Still, if Apple's barometer has become "just to be less sucky" then Google and MS, they're still doing

This is for example still very much with BMW and Audi. And I'm glad they do keep buttons etc around. The funny thing is that less prestigious brands like Citroen, go all "futuristic", trying to be fancy, and doing so remove a

So we got to the perception now that anything not SaaS is "awesome sefhosted".

Sure thing, I get that. That's nice to hear from satya btw. It was just the sentiment of now "feeling bad for MS" is also a bridge too far. That said, a healthy, fit, "new" MS would be healthy for the whole ecosyste

Let's not forget MS real motive here, which is indirectly, selling more of their software and bringing in more cash.
