Seagate are going to ship SMR HDD in the next 6 months.

You see, it is fine people dont like Apple. I mean no one is forcing everyone to like them. I suppose people have different value and we have to learn to agree to disagree. But the world has turned to…

Well they do offer the services of replacing your battery. It is not they force you to buy a new Phone. And the swappable batteries, They have their own set of trade off and problems.

Um........ Yeah. iPhone 4, an 3+ years old phone, which usage pattern are beyond what normal ( or called dumbphone) and therefore you charge it a lot more........ And you expect the battery to not die…

While I agree JS is a shitty language overall, and worst when writer larger apps. Having someone who wrote this on a website that spend 30% of the screen estate for page footer isn't very convinc…

OH Great, another Project closed due to stupid and insane License argument and restriction.

I am not quite sure if devices is the right word. I would choose Product instead. But then Product in a sense doesn't include services. ( To me at least )
So they would be a Product and Services…

1. IE 6, Is that not enough to hate them? Anyone who has done any sort of web development during the IE6 era would hate them. 2. The ugliness of Microsoft Office. I dont see each version of M$ office …

First, PC/Notebook Industry hasn't been on the performance tracks for a few years already. Peformance/Watts is what matters. Faster CPU with Higher IPC at Lower Power.
Much Faster Graph…

My thoughts exactly. So why isnt this being used instead.
comment
I think it is actually the Ruby Pool is increasing much faster then there are Ruby Devs.

To me, that is more like Ruby 3.0, or a similar languages with another name. How will this turn out? Matz will approve it? If yes why not make Rubinius the default implementation? If not, then ?
comment
Gist title is Ruby 2.0 MRI vs Rubinius 2.0
While HN Title is Ruby 2.1 So which is correct?
comment
Not Even on Front Page? SK next time you should tweet the HN page instead of direct link. tl;dr
Ruby 2.1 is the fastest MRI yet.
Rubinius is on par with if not better then most of it and exceed it in …
comment
Finally, i thought it would be another Duke Nukem Release. Glad to see it out. Now, Rubinius 2.0, Ruby 2.1, Topaz, JRuby. Exciting time for Ruby implementation.

Why is it that when any other countries doing the same, it will be heavily criticize and be named and shamed on nearly all sort of Newspaper and media. Yet US is no difference. And there is countless …

Could Some one tell me how these people game the stock market by releasing news that are um, false or unrealistic. I mean Analyst and Media, wanting to trash Apple for headlines has become insane.

It changed from 2.0.0 to next minor. And this is 2.1 already. What is the course of this delay?
comment
