Yet after Lion, Mountain Lion, and in a few month the new Mac OS, they still haven't implemented the native scrollbar and bounce scrolling... Mozilla is doing a lot of stuff, but I don't see any focus.

They do view hierarchy debugging but also network loggin in Chrome Developer Tools,

According to Wikipedia it's a public park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taksim_Gezi_Park (sidebar "Type: Urban Park")

I think for the same reason we credited Steve Jobs when he came back to Apple to turn it over. New Flickr might be team work, but it's thanks to Mayer work to bring back Yahoo at the big players table.

It was the same feeling with Android until not so long ago. If Google can work to incrementally improve the user experience, I'm sure Samsung could. If they have the incentive. But maybe they are fine with the current state of affairs.

Wouldn't it make sense for a vertically integrated company to control its OS though ? Like Apple... We know Samsung is at least looking at this option with Tizen, previously with Bada. Why do you think they can't achieve this where they already have 95% of the Android market ? I'm not sure they can either, but I wouldn't be so confident about this statement.

OVH founder, Oles, posted on Twitter that OVH has not been compromised https://twitter.com/olesovhcom/status/328845993867083776

OVH is the leader for Hosting in Europe. If they messed up, they should fix it quick, but the other provider you mentioned are not perfect either.

"At least 10% or more of their commits reduce the line-count of the project without adding new functionality"

It would be great if there was a git command to check that. Now that would be HN worthy. I skimmed the rest of the article and it seems to be typical link bait list

Seems the article is still here : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_hertzienne_militaire_de... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_radio_station_of_Pierr...

I'm curious about what you think is wrong with Storyboards or AutoLayout. Storyboards certainly lack features so not all apps can be done with them, but nonetheless I think they're pretty solid. And AutoLayout works like magic, haven't had any problems (the IB-adds-constraints-for-you thing is annoying, but necessary)

Yet, they produced the Macbook Air, when they were actively working on the iPad, and the world was moving towards mobile. Also your argument that Apple is not very interested in making features for OS X falls when they announced last year that they will move the yearly release cycles.

Disruptive products always come with harsh criticism, mockery. I have no idea if this product will gain any traction, maybe the next one, or maybe it will turn like the Segway. But the arguments in this article are exactly like the arguments thrown at Apple when they lauched the iPhone : it's too expensive, there is no keyboard...

> Puke. I find Glass to be ugly, impractical and completely ridiculous.

It's pretty good for a first version. Get used to it, of course nothing looked like this before

> Let's look at the facts. Google has never ​had a successful product that people pay for

Never say never (again, remember Apple). Also, who says Google is in it for the money (from the sold device) ?

You could argue that livestock farming for human consumption (i.e killing cows to eat one) is very different from raping cows. In fact, there are laws on how to treat and kill livestock (granted there are multiple documentaries showing how nobody cares about those laws...)

I guess that the HN crowd easily identifies with Aaron, or at least relates to what he stands for.

Like OP, I'm surprised to be so upset about someone I didn't know about a few days ago, but I keep reading everything by or about him, and man ! What a loss...

Not that I can think of. French people will correctly pronounce foreign words with /d͡ʒ/ if they are adopted in the french language (James, jingle or the arabic word jinn), but no french word beginning with J will be pronounced /d͡ʒ/. And no frenchman will ever pronounce Django as /ʒɑ̃ɡo/.

I think that they had to come up with something to replace "the D is silent" in the trailer, because it wouldn't make sense in french. For example the H is silent in french, wich explain the french accent on english words ("Ello 'Arry").

From a french speaker point of view, it doesn't makes sense indeed.

It's interesting to note that in the french trailer, Django says "Django – Avec un D" (Django, with a D). Also the trailer is much more graphic than the (censored?) U.S. one

Seems like a good idea to make a lot people know the product and renew the product for $59 next year. I'm in as soon as the site is back up

While satirical, they specialize in investigations, especially related to insider knowledge and whistle blowers. Only the tone is not serious, the content is alway backed with proofs.

Le Monde, an authoritative newspaper as well as others picked up the news too [1]

The Google News issue seems a different matter, the billion in question is due to an (alleged) tax fraud using the technique of the Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich [2]

Complete bullshit. If Apple had put a shady HTML form it would have been the same. People in the east cost put their alarm clock at 3am, I don't think the design of the page made them change their decision

I'm a strong supporter that when it comes to office furnitures, a company should really spare no expense. This is stuff we use everyday, so better feel comfortable with it. And yes, totally agree that it depends on the person. Would be stupid to buy an expensive Aeron for someone that don't like it.

I usually type in my browser address bar, which searches to Google directly. I tried my query on Stack Overflow... Google still gets a better SO question than SO itself : http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=insertObject+atIndex+zero+...

Every time I see a link comparing search engines, I try them with hope, but always go back to Google. My last search confirms this :

* Google https://www.google.com/search?q=insertObject+atIndex+zero+bu... * http://www.bing.com/search?q=insertObject+atIndex+zero+bug&#... * http://duckduckgo.com/?q=insertObject+atIndex+zero+bug

Thanks for the trivia, I had no idea. Anyway doesn't change my point : Hacker News née Startup News is great because of these two cultures.

But this website name is Hacker News. Configuring text editors is closer to hacking than talking who got funded no ? I think the combination of the two groups makes HN interesting. We probably all agree that the two last groups are the one we want to avoid.

Any reason/proof Pinch-To-Zoom (and the other Apple patents in the Samsung case) will not be licensed under FRAND ?

That, and the hints that he is interested in doing Siracusa-style iOS reviews. I love long form pieces by Gruber, but if it's also inspired by the great detailled reviews of Siracusa, I think it will be awesome.

I agree with atacrawl... No one would ship a boat if it didn't float. It's acceptable in todays software to ship a very simple version, especially on mobile devices, and Grid looks awesome. I wouldn't want more feature in it for version 1, but I don't see how it reinvents spreadsheets. It is something new entirely, that seems to be a perfect fit for content creation on touch devices, but it looks closer to a powerpoint/keynote concurrent than a spreadsheet one.

So that was pull, not push. Push notifications was exactly the solution to the problem of apps constantly pulling in the background. Sparrow couldn't do push because they didn't want to have our emails on their server. Now that Google owns Sparrow, we can hope that they'll provide push. I wouldn't get my hopes up though :/

That's great, but you should accept all valid shortcuts. Move to beginning of line in XCode is ^A as well as ⌘←
