What do they make?

Idea of BRICS being the next up brings me shivers and keeps me awake at night. Now that they're in town, they're bound to affect rest of us.

Pick-up truck will be overkill to draw analogy to a shitty PC, it still doesn't crash every now and then.

If Apple ditch the optical drive, it's a choice. They did the math, looked out for ourselves and made the decision.

If HP did it that PC is a cheap sake.

Now if PHP were Japanese?

Looks nice, but no Mac? No go. Nothing will ever convince me out of using Macs.

up-to-date Chrome, Mac Lion - worked without causing any disturbance.

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Redesigning the browser window

Couldn't be Apple-ier.

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Who owns America? Hint: It's not China

the problem is that Mainland China is demanding other countries not to see Taiwan as a independent nation.

Why not Chrome

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Why Waste Servers' Heat?

For some reason I'm desperate to see this complete the circle in closed ecosystem that involves "in-house farms" and "air/water purification system" and all those futuristic concept.

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would you pay for an online, restore-only Gmail backup?

Why would I do this when I can transfer all incoming mails to other email account? Simplicity? but I doubt restore will be matter of click'n'go. if advanced user find demand in such feature, they can solve it for themselves.

It's usually

  -"how much free reign should I give him? am i smothering his talent?"
  -"how does this personnel manage emotional integrity - how does this person fund his expertise internally?"
  -"what are the 'distastes' this person have grown up to this point in his life?"
  -"does this person have secure mental integrity/health points or whatever is required to do the deed?"

so where's the torrent?

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Apple’s Cash Hoard Exceeds GDP of 126 Countries

I wonder how "world's top 100 wealthiest entities" comes out as.

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Lion's Mission Control: UX fail, especially for multiple displays

This really speaks of Hacker New's segment. For non-techies it's perfect - yes, multi monitor support is corrupt, but I'm sure it'll come by in couple of months. The important thing is that working with fullscreen apps via mission contra doesn't feel like IQ puzzles.

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Japan's preference for hardware over software is fading

hm...

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: The start-up code of conduct and ethics

This kills off the root motivation to be Samaritan with power. If everyone can copy and paste instead of reinventing it, dealing with double binds and trade offs,they'll grow to put less weight on caring for user interest.

This article seems to be written following a "How to gain impressions and establish yourself - here's list of things you should tell your readers!"

4J7z0Fgt63dTZbs | 14 years ago | on: Show HN: I built an app to improve your Vocabulary

You've got it wrong, you don't read to learn vocab, you learn vocab to supplement reading experience.

A bookmarklet that acts as mouse over dictionary, added with a system that saves the whole context (and its distinguishing look) of whatever user is reading on browser, combined with a repetitive learning aid (like one you have as flashcard) is the right approach to assistive vocab learning.
