I found this Apple page that appears to offer battery service for $129: https://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=Unite... I have the same "Service Battery" warning and I was hoping to eventually get this…
Yeah, I second that. The tablet sounds great, so I placed a pre-order on Jun 28. Never got an estimated ship date then and seeing this post reminded me about it. I checked my order status on Google Wallet just now and…
I didn't know what you were talking about until I went back and accidentally kudos'd the post myself. The creators "defense" sounds more like an FU or maybe that the whole thing is really more of a joke. In the end, I'm…
>> They allow mobile apps to display their listings if you buy a license from them, but not websites. PadMapper already has an app so couldn't they continue to use the listings in the app?
> Good voice recognition would also work, but I haven't seen this yet in a car. Ditto. This seems like the obvious solution to the future of UIs, especially when driving or something else that occupies your main…
Agreed. We should enforce laws and we shouldn't make laws where the cost of enforcement outweighs the benefit to society of having those laws.
Great point, making something illegal doesn't stop it, but it just raises the price. Drugs come to mind as I read this. It becomes a problem to me when making something illegal raises the cost to society overall versus…
Fair enough point and I do agree that this guy's article is perhaps lacking in proposing solutions or fully explaining the problem. The problem as I see it is that technology allows someone to avoid paying those "other…
I deleted all WSJ cookies then clicked the link from the Google search results and it worked.
I can't find it via searching the app store and from the direct link (on my iPad) I get "Your request cannot be completed". Guess I'll try back tomorrow or in a few days.
Fair points all. What I read was that he'd prefer more hands-on (i.e. watch me do the craft) types of presentations, whether at school or academia, rather than didactic rules to follow or some other form. This is one…
It might be unfair to compare the stock price to Google and Apple, but if you compare Gates to Ballmer, you can see that the stock has completely flattened since he took over. The rest of the article does point out some…
But if we never dreamed it so, then we never would have tried and never would have broken down those other barriers. Just the fact that we've broken down all those other barriers inspires me to believe.
Sounds interesting, but shouldn't they have a huge user base before this kind of money comes in? There are a lot of interesting things going on in this space (and with this app), but minus user base and revenue, I just…
Can you elaborate on what was so incompetent on the part of humans? From my understanding, it seems like they got the crisis under control without any major radiation exposure, unlike some previous nuclear disasters,…
For what it's worth, I talked to a yoga studio owner who had a horrible experience (with Living Social, not Groupon). It turns out that people looking for a cheap deal on yoga classes aren't good long-term customers so…
Great site and thanks for the background info. As a developer, I'm always in need of good design. I love the site design and the story of how you found the designer. I hadn't heard of Forrst. If anyone has a spare…
Agreed. I just tried instapaper based on this statement. I use delicious for saving things for reference and tagging them, mostly as an alternative to bookmarking, particularly for saving obscure stuff that I don't want…
Yes, I think what you allude to is that Java is just too verbose and unnecessarily complex and I agree. That said, the tools available for Java (i.e. eclipse) are pretty nice.
Is this really due to impatience though? You've picked the cream of the crop to make your point, but arguably I'd say these guys were visionaries that stuck to their guns (skated to where the puck was going) more than…
Seems like he's talking more about patience to stick with your business through "the dip" even if it's not an overnight success rather than patience to first launch. Launch away and iterate, but be patient if it's not…
This has great potential if I understand it correctly. One of the things facebook doesn't seem to address for me is the need to have groups of friends. I've always wanted facebook to implement the idea of "circles"…
Maybe it's because I came in from the HN link, but I was extremely confused by this. I had never seen the draft page before so when I saw the task for "put together draft like product page", I was trying to understand…
