This post may benefit from having 'Ask HN:' in the title.

Your comment could be more valuable if it included your reasoning or suggestions for improvement.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Comcast "blocking" access to HBO Go has anything to do with net neutrality. In that case Comcast is saying that the HBO cable subscription they sell doesn't include HBO Go access. This is possible because of the requirement to "authenticate" your HBO Go access through your cable/satellite provider.

So that has more to do with television than internet regulation IMO.

Thank you for the additional information.

Sorry if I've misunderstood. When I read passages like this[0]:

> Installing Ubuntu is not easy , either. By default the bootloader of Chromebooks are signed and locked.

I assume that the writer is correct.

I hope so. If they haven't locked the bootloader down on this one I'll be buying one.

Just for the sake of clarity, do you mean that there are more apps that are sandboxed on iOS or that all apps have a higher level of sandboxing on iOS?

I think that's been true up until now, but Cyanogen has recently announce intentions to move away from dependence on Google.[0]

Thanks for sharing! The last section about enterprise licenses for OSS was especially great.

Wow! Congrats to the Revolution Analytics Team. I'm excited to see what they're able to accomplish with Microsoft's backing.

Thanks for building a great resource.

Maybe implement HTTPS then?

I would prefer if I knew which sections were links without having to hover over everything.

Or http://regexper.com/.

There's so much content on YouTube it can be hard to find something worth watching.

Now there is.

Scrolling on that site is very frustrating.

I wonder if there will be a WebGL version someday. I think the requirement of a plugin kept the Google Earth API from being popular.

Well that's the first time I've ever seen the word "invigilators".

Why does this require me to sign up with my name and date of birth to use the offline functionality?

I'm curious how this compares to something like GuardRail by ScriptRock.

Thanks for sharing. Database versioning seems to be quite a challenge so it's nice to see how others approach the task.

It might add more to the discussion here if you described what you feel is being glossed over.

Well thats an interesting finish to the "Can Google Hear Me" story.

I'm very confused by all of this since Amazon owns Audible.

When an attack on another company's offering becomes your selling point you're bound to reap some negativity in return.

Daskeyboard makes nice products. I hope they introduce an ergonomic line in the future.

I still find it very strange that comments were so hard to make on that story. It seems almost like Boing Boing wasn't interested in a normal discussion.
