My prediction is that everybody will buy these tablets for their teen kids. Kind of hard to break. Easy to use. Heaps of free games. Easier to maintain than a PC. etc etc.

Actually, I would think Googles new social search stuff will help promote small brands. If your friends are talking about a product it will be pushed to the top of your search results. Could be great …

Is there a social network / kickstarter like site for making movies. A LinkedIn for Actors, Writers, Directors and everybody else you need to make film and television. I'd be interested in building a …

Shouldn't we be secretly hoping it will pass so that these big US companies will have to move their operations overseas to our countries?

When we talk about going dark we are talking about US viewers only right? I have no power to change SOPA so there is no point protesting to me.

Actually, I think its great for startups. If you're a small team trying to work out what your product is, how to sell it and who is going to buy it, you have more important things to do than learn how…

how do you delay a function to the next tick in javascript?

I see a lot of positive comments for this post but I'd like to chime in and suggest that upping the equity is not going to solve the problem. In once sense the engineer is making the same kind of bet …

I have another observation. Some more notes about what an author might learn from and indie game developer. Seems pretty clear to me is that free games won the war in the App Store. Most of top grossi…

I attended a video games conference here in Australia last week. There was an interesting session about the pro's and con's of using a publisher in the mobile space. I learnt that they don't pay large…

When I clicked on this link I thought it was going to be about the wage slaves that work for me down at the local mall. Day in and day out they shuffle into their meaningless jobs, selling shoes or fl…

I have to agree, I'm really enjoying working in flash every day at the moment. Web development has a long way to go before it's this much fun.

They don't have to make it for web standards, they just need to recompile for mobile. They are dropping the flash player not the whole flash platform on mobile.

3099 of the replies were fines for littering.

I think in addition to studying these books, the student should be put right to work coding simple tasks. The best way to learn is by doing, not by theory. The student should get in and start hacking …

Hell yes, please just just include a full posting in rss, When I'm on my phone I'm not going to click over to your website.

But how to I get Python in my browser. Python on the back and front end is my dream.

As a sci fi geek I like to imagine that these new technologies will propel us into to a world where there are those that share everything, and those who live completely anonymously. A polarization of …

Theodore Roosevelt (for those of us who had to look it up)

David, I'd like to ask you some more questions off line. I can't see your email address in your profile.

Oh, I just read this in the API doc.. " Because Betable’s servers are located in the UK, developers in any geographical location may build on our platform. However, due to legal restrictions, we block…

Do the games have to be pure chance to be legal. I thought you couldn't mix games of skill and chance? Aren't there all kinds of quite specific laws about how odds are presented and stuff like that? H…

The most disappointing thing for me was that the little bit of banner advertising I have on the games is no longer going to cover the cost of the hosting. It was nice a thought that the games could si…

I don't think they should be letting Managers or Engineers run things. I think they need to have... I'm not sure of the title... lets call them Vision Carriers. In the video game industry we call thes…

You could have an ie6 mode that you could make difficult to re-enable for those sysadmins. I don't know what to say about ie9 requiring vista, it's so obvious that ie8 will be the ie6 of 2013 when we …

So, can somebody explain what's preventing Microsoft just fixing it rather than apologizing for it. Just patch it in the next security update to run ie 9 in an ie 6 window.

Why would a reader of Hacker News want to intern anywhere? Go start a start up!

I think the best thing about this story is that a Juggernaut like Google can be convinced to review and update their core business as a result of a bunch of hubub in the blogosphere. It's great that t…

Nobody I know interleves their response when replying. How about an email client that doesn't allow this, like facebook.
