It would be more helpful to the developers if you let them know which browser & OS you were on...

One time I had to set my alarm for 4am (early flight) and Siri said, "OK, but don't wake me up!". On the one hand that's pretty funny of course, but on the other hand, I think it's a helpful sanity ch…

Do you happen to recall what the subject line was? Seems like an important detail that has a big impact on first impression.

Even with an incredibly exact model, to actually get ALL 50 right really does require a lot of luck in addition to skill. Even if he's 98% accurate for each state (which seems amazingly high to me), t…

Another Lua-based framework for iOS programming is Moai. I played around with it a while back and fell in love with Lua. Really simple yet powerful stuff. http://getmoai.com/ …

"This guy" is Linus Torvalds. I assume he's often running a terminal as well... ;)

"I’d be humbled if you followed me on Twitter." Insta-followed. Can we please make THIS be the typical tagline at the end of every article instead of the aggressive "you should follow me"?
comment
Slight critique here - I feel like he's using this to push an agenda rather than just telling us in detail what tools and software he uses to get his job done.
He mentions a few things but in far less…

Just had the following support chat with an Amazon rep: Me:I have really enjoyed Kindle on multiple devices so far but I just read the following account of a different Kinde customer and am appalled …

In my mind, this will be the first major test of Tim Cook as a CEO. This is not "I get a bad signal if I hold the phone the wrong way". This is "my iPhone drove us to the wrong hospital so I wasn't ab…

fascinating stuff, makes me long for a good IDE on iPad that doesn't feel like a "toy", that can handle Objective-C for example. In an ideal world, Apple would be working on "iCode" as we speak... ;)

Now that is a well-written article. The bookend plays on words are just smart enough to not be cheesey but rather make the article especially memorable.

http://neobudget.com since my wife and I do envelope budgeting. Works GREAT. Highly recommended.

Congrats on shipping. Looking at these comments, I can tell HN is doing its best to re-discover its positive attitude towards "shippers" -- I kind of feel bad for anyone who tried to post a "Show HN" …

you should totally have recorded your screen while doing all of this, that would be incredibly educational. great stuff!

Right...HN spam, even though he doesn't even have an HN account? http://www.twitter.com/marcoarment/status/228137545396019200 …

Awww man, that is a letdown. Airplay was the thing I was most looking forward to in Mountain Lion. I have a late 2010 MBP. :(
comment
I wouldn't call that abrasive. The "counterpoint" was quoting a previous article of his out of context, acting as if he was saying it was OK to steal content - which he was not, he was explaining WHY …
comment
Extremely impressive right off the bat. Signed up right after seeing the positive app reviews be fetched. But how do I sort the apps once I've added them? See here: http://kickfolio.com/epaga I'd li…

Your user name definitely would help strengthen said lawsuit...

Turned off Instant Search and everything works now (except for Instant Search which I can live with until they get it fixed).

A similar use case: I noticed the sunlight on the wall of my apartment's courtyard was a bright orange so searched twitter for "Berlin sunset" and right away found a gorgeous image someone had just ma…

I can't see this working legally for privacy reasons without the glasses having an LED go on when the camera is recording anything. Not to mention the more sticky social issues: Imagine a guy in the s…

Fascinating, exciting times we live in. I'll upvote the link as soon as the "singularity" silliness is taken out of the title.

"good only if revolutionary" sure would make for a sparse & boring HN front page... I appreciate this tip (and upvoted it) as I hadn't thought of the idea before. Revolutionary? No. Helpful? Absol…
