It is NOT true that ONLY half of the population want's to join EU or at least get rid of Putin's influence. Majority of Ukraine wants this!

Now mount the iPad in your car and try using it while going at 50 mpg over even slightly bumpy road. Physical controls give you tactile feedback, but more important, they give you something solid to hang on to while using the controls. Touc

You forgot: Remember how much praise Android would get on HN for being Open Source. Not so much any more. Give it a few more years and will have just the open source kernel with a monolithic, closed source, Google Play Services library onto

Touch screens where tried and rejected by the military early on because people hands would get tired after a very short time interacting with a vertically mounted touch screen. Horizontal touch screens have other usability challenges.

I am not sure why this is such a big deal as to pop to the top for at least the 3rd time now. FF is open source, if the adds get really bothersome, it will get forked by someone and adds will get removed. What's the big deal. Someone h

To everyone who jumped in to comment that 60+ hours at work is just fine, because they can do it. I have to say, stop equating work with progress. Busiest time in my life was when I was studying for the California Bar exam. According to the

"If you make a new form, limit salutations to Dr., Mr., Ms." Why on earth is "Dr." in there? From those options it strikes me as if the form would really care about wether or not I am male or female, but if I am a doctor

Climate engineering scares the shit out of me. I think this article is right, we do not fully understand global warming. We know something is happening, we do NOT know exactly what OR why. But we have the fucking hubris to assume that we ca

Well, for one the rules directly state: "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." Further, the rules also state that one should flag things which are "spam or offtopic." The list of flag worth

There was a guy on HN recently showing off his startup which makes sunglasses with built on camera. Cops should be required to where those by law and we should pass a law that basically states that an arrest is automatically invalid in any

You have to at east try. Most good lawyers will take this case on a contingency. Otherwise these cops will just get away with it yet again. Also, I wish this case would be picked up by the news. If anyone knows a reporter, send this to them

Legally, yes. But it does demonstrate the will of the people. Next election I will vote for any candidate that will promise to pardon Snowden if elected. Somehow I am guessing my vote will be wasted, but so be it.

It's not all that far fetched to think that it would give headaches to some people. I know people who get headaches from using their smart phone, or computers in general. Why not Google Glass.

Funny enough, try making that argument to a Russian. The argument that language is more history than science, and is fluid and ever-changing. Many words in Russian are commonly, and in most cases properly, pronounced one way, and yet spelle

I would suggest to add a function so you can add a personal note to each day, and sell it as a mood tracker / diary. First, it would be useful to keep track of why you were feeling bad or good on a given day by maybe a making a small n

If Apple does not care about this vulnerability, sell it to the black hat community, let them spam with it. 500 visits a day to the Genius Bar per store will get this issue fixed in a hurry.

Having an inflamed appendix does not automatically mean you need a surgery, unless you live in US. In many parts of the world they give you a course of antibiotic shot first, and its effective in majority of cases. US is way too surgery hap

13 inches isn't that different from an iPad screen. If anything, Apple should stick with 13 inch form factor, but give it a retina screen. I hope they finally fix their screen quality issues too. I had to go through a return cycle last

Jesus, did you watch the video that's subject of the post, or are you just posting, since "you are here." This is exactly the information that the video covers, with animations, explanations, and even links to sources.
