I'll get buried for this, but I don't see HN as a community. To me reddit seems to be able to foster a sense of community with meetups, fund raisers, secret santa etc. HN is just a link aggregator with comments.
"Some of the wilder speculation we've heard has the company buying Smarterphone in preparation to sell its smart phone line-up to Microsoft, then focusing entirely on feature phones."
Could be an intersting year for Win Phones. Nokia has signed up with ST-Ericsson to produce low cost chips, and Appollo (WP8) should be released Q3. I suspect Christmas 2012 will be a much more attractive WP offerings across all price points. Is it too late? I don't think so the oppurtunity for growth in the smartphone market is still huge. Will Nokia try and replace all feature phones with WP8? If Nokia is still capable of pumping out a million phones a day, then things could change fairly quickly. MS & Nokia need to get some momentum rolling this year though.
Well at least the rest of the world can see your website, while still censored in the US.
Whereas if GoDaddy just takes out your website domain, nobody can get to it.
