ld00d··on Microsoft Changes Tack, Making Office Suite Free on Mobile
From what I can tell, iWork isn't free unless you buy new hardware, and that deal has been around for a year now.
ld00d··on A Print Magazine for Hackers
I paid with a credit card and had the Kindle subscription. I also bought Catcher in the Rye with a credit card. Hack the planet.
ld00d··on The 10,000 Hour Rule for deliberate practice is wrong
also, from the url: malcolm_gladwell_s_10_000_hour_rule_for_deliberate_practice_is_wrong_genes
ld00d··on Ask HN: Hacker forum or IRC?
I don't know about others, but I find IRC a little intimidating. So I get in, but I never speak. I just hide out in the corner and sip my beer.
ld00d··on Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework
No Durandal? http://durandaljs.com/
ld00d··on Poll: Would you take $10M now or start your own company?
Don't want to spoil the last episode, but he wasn't offered $10M for a good idea.
ld00d··on Vulnerability in Internet Explorer Could Allow Remote Code Execution
XP is absent from the list of affected OSes. Does that mean XP isn't affected, or is it just off the radar now that it's no longer supported.

Could this be the first big unpatched XP hole?

ld00d··on Ask HN: Idea Sunday
A system of homeless charity. I never have cash. What if I could scan a QR code to donate? What if that donation was better distributed through a central agency instead of directly to the person on the street corner? The guy on the corner gets a bigger piece as an incentive.

A distributed peer to peer encrypted chat system. No dependencies on Google or whoever for hosting. No middle channel holding private keys. Threaded conversations. Synced across devices.

ld00d··on Dropbox tone-deaf? Hardly
Maybe I'm not understanding what it means to be a board member, but did they hire her, or did she buy enough shares to have a direct say in the company's future?

Also, does it follow that having a former government official on the board gives you an "in" with the current administration?

ld00d··on I lost my dad to Fox News: How a generation was captured by thrashing hysteria
It's only good for one conversation. Read the hover.
ld00d··on VMWare to Bring Traditional Windows Apps and Desktops to Chromebooks
Since this is an enterprise blog, it appears this is a solution for IT departments where they can host a Windows instance on a VM on their server. The end users can then login via almost dumb terminals.
ld00d··on High prices sending Bay Area renters and homebuyers to outlying communities
Yeah, try anywhere in southern CA.
ld00d··on Ask HN: Appropriate toy for a 1-year old girl that may lead to programming
This is a great toy for teaching kids basic engineering concepts. It's also fun for me to build stuff with my girls.
ld00d··on Realistic Google+ Simulator
G+ is troll central from my experience. Just read the comments on any news story that's Apple related.

Reddit is doing this right. Wanna be a troll? Get ready to be down-voted to the abyss.

ld00d··on My new book, "Linux is Badass", comes out tomorrow
So Linux doesn't suck anymore?
