xtrimsky_··on Google Drive vs. Dropbox Terms of Service
Let's say Mark Zuck. wants to use Google Drive, and upload all Facebook code on it. Using this TOS, it allows Google to go through the Facebook code, and use it to improve Google+.

As a programmer that uses Dropbox to backup all my code, I find this a little bit scary.

Doesn't allow me to access my files on my Android device. I sometimes like to access a PDF, or word document :(.
xtrimsky_··on Google Drive Terms Of Service Let Google Do Whatever It Likes With Your Files
Ok thank you, But does it also give them the authorization to publish it to anyone else not logged in into my account ?
xtrimsky_··on Google Drive Terms Of Service Let Google Do Whatever It Likes With Your Files
What about the "publish" part of it ? I mean they can tell me that the code I upload online will stay my intellectual property, and I understand if they need to read it, or modify it for OCR. But why publish ? I don't want my code published everywhere....

The only thing not working on an iPhone iOS5 I've tried is the popups, I'll try fixing it thanks for the bug report.
xtrimsky_··on Show HN: Readbo - Making a better Google Reader
Please check out the Facebook/Twitter functionality :).

The idea is not to have another RSS reader, but to have a News Reader, that would fetch all news coming from as most sources as possible. RSS are just part of it.

This seems low for me for .NET. But then I live in the bay area, where everything is way too expensive.
xtrimsky_··on Ask HN: Developing for IOS on a VM or "Hackintosh" environment
PS: I also installed Mac OS X on a dell previously. It works very well if you have the right laptop, and have 30+ hours to spend trying to install it. Some laptops cannot run it.
xtrimsky_··on Ask HN: Developing for IOS on a VM or "Hackintosh" environment
I used a VM a few years ago, worked very well. And it was fast as I was doing it on a desktop that had "Virtualisation Technology". Felt like using a real mac. I remember I downloaded the VM via bittorrent. I think if you put Mac OS X on a VM its illegal in any cases.
