In good tradition the most critical comment is the top voted on HN. Yada Yada indie life is hard, but no one with a right mind would think of connecting the client directly to the remote master database. This is just so WTF on so many level

There's no infringement here, the pigs look different and there doesn't seem to be any stolen art or something. So Rovio probably couldn't do anything anyway.

Well I guess you could link brain patterns to thoughts, but how do you gonna read them without a 5 ton MRI machine?

Buy the right thing for your daughter, that you think will influence her in the right way? How come the responsibility to raise a child lies not in the parents anymore, but rather in companys and what they want to sell to them. Nothing is s

A little bit too simple for me. I guess it supposed to look cool and sleek, but I don't know, something is odd about just 4 lines. What do you guys think?

Am I the only one who agrees? Obviously going back to something like BeOS is a little extreme, but fact is OS X Lion made things worse. I don't need LaunchPad or AirDrop or the AppStore, oh and thanks for hiding my Library folder and revers

Doesn't really matter anyway, since the worst offender are always Flash & Java plugins. You should disable Java right away if you haven't done yet.

Headline is not true. Motorola won a patent case and now can make Apple stop selling iPhones/iPads, they didn't yet. At that point Apple's lawyers will appeal the ruling and who knows where it goes from there.

Something tells me people using Bingo Card Creator aren't the most technical people and these little download screenshots would make much more beneficial there than on the Dropbox page ;)

There goes one of the greatest game-designer of our time. I remember his talk from E3 this year, where he - between the lines - criticized most of the modern game-design. Some of the points he made: - Gameplay is everything. Games are about

Most of the time, you loose the "crispness" of the final image with AA and everything tends to look a little bit blurry. Couple that with fact, that it drops the FPS by quite a bit and over time I got slowly conditioned against AA. However

How's that heavily damaging? Google is known to be open about its workings, and I think most people agree that an engineer explaining underlying concepts is a positive thing. Putting up NDAs on every little thing is just silly and annoying.

On that note I'm all for introducing English as additional official state language in all EU countries. There's a lot being done to educate people in English across Europe, but this will be a slow process, taking decades, no matter what you

Well of course. The whole topic of inequality stems from us acting like the evolutionary animals we all are inside. The only way to counter act is to consciously analyze these behaviors and try to adjust ourselves.

Yes this is much worse and should get 10x the attention. Reason for me to be suspicious of every Android phone I'll get (I assume there are ways to remove it and that it's not shipped on non-contract Nexus). The reason a comparatively minor

Yes this is much worse and should get 10x the attention. The reason comparatively minor iPhone scandal gets so big is because everything Apple related gets now over-hyped in the media. You could say Jobs has marketed the Apple brand very we

Are they gonna redesign Google now every 2 month? I mean the new Google Bar looks ok, but the "old" black one is stylish too, so why just throw it out after such short period of time?

Well some people say if you are getting offended by "inappropriate" jokes that's basically your problem, not the problem of the majority of people there having fun. After all its just jokes, as in having humour. At a developer conference yo

Good news. I want Apple developers to go and debug their apps without access to the devices filesystem and tell me how that feels!

Only if Apple (and not some random third party) releases a wireless gamepad as an accessory for iOS devices. Then it could really take of.

Amazing how good smartphone cameras are these days, I remember taking pictures with one of the first Nokia phones equipped with VGA cameras, and you couldn't see a damn think on them.

Ok yes, I know, obviously a lot of people are moving away from RIM. In the context of the article, by "anybody" I meant companies and organisations, who are working with highly sensitive and confidential information. That's the segment the

I don't see anybody ditching RIM yet. Security needs to be proven with a track record. No matter what systems they deploy, there will always be exploits and hacks.

I am so fucking tired of this argument. "Users don't care" - well you know what? I AM a user. And if a phone can't do X it does matter for me, even if you or your grandma might not care. It's downright insulting saying that I am somehow dif

Is it done in the cloud? Why would it require an iPhone 4S then?
