Mid-range is typically around 250 miles, which the Tesla can do. As for budget, sure, the Tesla is a bit on the expensive side, but it is not difficult to afford for middle-class families.

>>I'm just suggesting that the general population doesn't have 50k to spend on something that only provides one very specific utility. I doubt that. Take a look at this: http://www.autospies.…

"Apple’s nightmare is a world in which all phones and tablets look and feel the same, and everybody buys on price, or on processing power or whatever. Apple sues in order to prevent competing products…

My workplace is full of long-distance commuters. I know two brothers who have been with the company for almost ten years, and their daily commute takes whopping 2.5 hours. It strikes me as utterly ins…

No one else can implement pinch to zoom, so what? Is pinching the only way, or even the best way to zoom? It may seem like it is the best and most obvious way right now but that is only because Appl…

If you want your face to melt, sure.

The batshit insanity never ceases to amaze me.

Banal dismissal? Excuse me? How else would you describe what Samsung did, if not as "imitation"? Their own product engineers recommended shamelessly copying Aplle's design to make Samsung phones loo…

Exactly. The sad thing is that many people will ignorantly blame the judge for this decision. Whereas the fact of the matter is that she simply presided over the trial.

Which in my opinion is a good thing. Everyone should think twice before blatantly imitating the result of other people's investments and hard work. Edit: the downvotes do not surprise me. HN has a ver…

Nonsense. The issue in question was that Samsung copied Apple's design in an effort to fool regular customers into thinking they were buying Apple products. As such, it makes perfect sense to have the…

I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but I find the idea of taking pictures of moleskine pages really, really clunky. I have done that in the past to take photos of book/magazine pages, and in my exper…

Why the downvote with no explanation? I thought HN would be better than this.

The iPhone completely changed - revolutionized - the cellphone industry, and the iPad single-handedly revived an industry long thought dead. Do you deny it? Please give a serious answer.

I cannot find any word other than "bullocks" to describe your argument. If you spent billions of dollars in R&D to come up with an innovative and revolutionary product and sold millions of it, and…

>>Please define "copying." That's easy. Just look at the internal Samsung design documentation in which Samsung product engineers made recommendations to flat out imitate numerous aspects iPho…

>>Because it's obvious. I'm going to get downvoted for this, but Jonathan Ive said it best: great design makes the solution seem obvious in hindsight. This is why so many people (wrongly) take…

Another benefit of working from home is not having to worry about preparation rituals such as shaving or making sure you have clothes to wear. These are fairly important for me. On rare occasions I ge…

Your post comes across as very cynical, and I disagree with it completely. The type of environment someone is in always has an effect on their productivity. In my case this effect is huge. For examp…

I took a do-it-yourself approach and built my own stand-up desk using parts and tools I bought from Home Depot. It cost me 52 dollars and 3 hours of labor. I had a lot of fun and learned some basic ca…

It wasn't a matter of need . It was a matter of principle . If you spend billions of dollars in R&D to invent a device, and a competitor just copies it, then it stands to reason that they should…

That's an interesting perspective. I'm actually Turkish, and Turkey definitely has the same king of yearning and obsession for the achievements of its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire. That said, it's …

I was thinking the exact same thing!

It would be fundamentalism if I was close-minded about it. I am not. If there are any alternative scientific theories that are supported by as much evidence as the theory of evolution is, I would lov…

Yeah, but how much was the coverage compared to, say, the Lunar Landing? How many movies were made about it, books written about it, conspiracy theories created about it, etc.

This does not make sense. Windows has been the dominant operating system on PCs for a very long time, but Apple never sued PC manufacturers for it. The reason is simple: Microsoft never blatantly copi…

Those reasons are terrible, and are easily refuted. From reading the discussion as a whole, theLet's go over them one by one. >>It will leave even less room in the question preview so that we …

You still have not provided a rational explanation as to why removing "thanks" is encouraged.
