Per the Gov's "state of the state" speech, California spends more on prisons than education. That can't be a recipe for success.

This reads more like "why I like my Android phone" than "why I like my Nexus One".

I would say that the address book (or People app) on my Android along with Google Voice is a step in the right direction. Syncs with Gmail. Tracks Facebook, Twitter, Flikr, Youtube, other? updates by that person. Uses their Facebook image for their photo. Obviously it doesn't help me communicate with people not explicitly remembered outside of people that have called, messaged or emailed me.

Good point, but crappy title. "Real" CMS packages could learn a thing or two from WordPress.

The page does seem to be missing a "disadvantages of JSSS" section.

Nothing against jackfoxy, but from what I saw of his comment, to somehow pass this off as art criticism is a tribute to trollery.

Not sure if I would go so far as to say it looks like a domain squatter page.

When Rackspace has an outage does that generally mean Slicehost does as well? I ask because I was looking at using Slicehost but being a Rackspace company has me leery.

Wow, yes it's a shame. Possibly a very beautiful machine but there is no way I would give them my money.

Why did you change the title when posting it here. Odd choice of wording...

While the numbers are falling, IE 6 users still account for a sizable percentage of the people that buy things from my site. Ignoring them would be "doing something wrong". Guess it just depends on what you're doing.

38 and prefer HN focused on tech and the business of it.

Yum.... list articles.

"...for C# and VB.net developers"

Google should preemptively stop indexing all News Corp sites.

Not a feature, but a bug. Trying to merge my Facebook account and my Hacker News account results in "Unknown" during the merge, which never completes.

Yep. It would be nice if the body of the story was included also since they're usually fairly short.

Some of these things are IN HTML5, for example <map>

The headline of the article has changed to "Study Suggests U.S. Could Use Fewer, Not More Science Students"

It's right there on the features page. That takes fewer clicks than finding the requirements for Windows 7.

Question for those in California - is it reckless for me to consider taking a job in San Francisco moving from Austin?

It's stunted capitalism. Monopolies are propped up and protected in most areas.

Someone in my community of friends passed away recently and continually shows up in the new "reconnect with" recommendations. This is timely and appropriate I think.

Can we leave this kind of mindless 'content' off of HN? It's a valid point (I haven't purchased W7 yet for my Windows boxes because of the cost) but really just flamebait.

Who is actually saying RSS/Atom is dead? I use it heavily - via Google Reader. I even have feeds of certain Twitter users, bypassing the need to follow via Twitter.

Actually, Apple's attitude is "look at these dorky idiots that use PCs". At least coming from this Win/Linux PC user who cut his teeth on Apple, that's how it comes across.

I was mostly speaking of hiring within family.

"Now, Droid's ad is taking cheap shots at Apple, and that's a bad start. If your ad campaign is based solely on dissing your competitor, chances are you don't have anything revolutionary."

I used to agree with this thinking, however, Apple's very successful marketing campaigns (Mac guy vs PC guy) are entirely based upon this.

Regarding some of the other things you brought up, I've been seeing some real [anecdotal] evidence of cracks in the iPhone love from people with it. This may be ATT's fault in some ways but I've been hearing some outright dissatisfaction, which has been surprising. These people (not all developers!) may not be ready to jump ship any time soon but I've been hearing a lot of "meh" coming from them, mostly unprompted by myself - just from hearing iPhone users talking to each other. There's some opportunity there for someone to compete seriously with Apple.

Please be careful when introducing two hamsters together. I have had them kill each other - it was sad and not very pretty. They were even siblings but had been separated then brought back together.

I suppose getting two at the same time that were living together at the pet store would be the best option. Make sure you know their gender first or you'll end up with more hamsters.
