I wasn't comparing regular soda to diet soda, I was comparing having diet soda to not having diet soda. Diet soda affects gut flora and insulin levels. Calories are not the whole story.
That's exactly his point. The approach of merely counting calories ignores the fact that some foods such as diet soda are low in calories but can have an effect on body composition. You shouldn't just "eat less" you…
> Developers avoid Windows for far more complex, intangible reasons that go way beyond a code converter. There are all kinds of perceptions about Windows and Windows users that simply will not change because of this…
Almost everyone I know that owns a Mac dual boots Windows, uses it in a VM, or doesn't use OSX at all. Macs would not have anywhere near the success they have had without Windows compatibility.
To explain further, for the downvoters, Apple is trying to position itself as "the company that safeguards your privacy (for those that can afford it)" because its their key point of differentiation with Google. Its…
> This is likely a jab at Obama I'm pretty sure its just another indirect jab at Google.
> They're also getting beaten in the enterprise space. Most non-tech workers want everything through their phone. No they don't. Most enterprise workers spend all day in front of a desktop Windows PC.
The discussion is not about whether Apple is a profitable company, its about whether "everyone who could afford it would buy an iPhone". There is plenty of evidence that many people prefer Android regardless of price.…
This is both true and completely irrelevant.
My point is that there are probably plenty of Indians who, if they had 53,000 to spend on a phone, would choose a high end Android. Some iPhone fans try to make the argument that "everyone who could afford it would buy…
I'm really happy about the 4 USB ports too. It was a pain having to use a USB hub on my Model B to get keyboard+mouse+WiFi.
This is just not true. Android manufacturers sell huge numbers of high end phones that cost the same amount as iPhones. I have owned both, and found the Android to be a much better user experience. iPhone has the worst…
Even if this has no practical reason to exist, it makes me happy to know that it does. The world is a better place for it.
Be aware that asking HN is not going to give you anything like an unbiased sample of *nix based developers.
Good analogy. But you got the countries around the wrong way with "(US/USSR, Apple/Google)". The resemblence to the cold war is even more striking when you realise that this also parallels planned economy vs free…
I like almost all of her icons, but I can't stand the command icon. It doesn't obviously relate to its meaning and its difficult to describe in words to someone else. It causes so much confusion. I can see why Jobs…
I suspect a majority of people don't.
Except Amazon Prime still doesn't work on Android, other than the Fire. Kindle is truly cross platform, but Prime streaming video is not.
Is there any way of upgrading the RAM on this so that it can run SteamOS?
I don't think that iOS is more logically organised, easier to use or more intuitive than Android. The settings system is a mess, and it is often much harder to do simple things on iOS than Android unless you stay…
What about patents that come out of universities? How do you determine the "revenue related to the patents"?
That is beautiful. I'm really looking forward to hearing more reconstructed ancient music.
Buy an Android, and if you are worried about Google's targeted ads, then don't link it to a Google account. Or put Ubuntu or FirefoxOS on there. There may not be a perfect option out there with no tradeoffs, but there…
What kind of warped reality do you live in that only selling 5 million units a year while updating the hardware every week is "no big deal"? Regarding rapid obsolescence, this seems to work very well in Asian markets.…
I'm sure he does believe that it is a better tablet for some people's needs, that's pretty incontrovertible. Any argument that one is simply "better" than the other in general is pretty silly.
