Anandtech is the only review I read. Very in-depth and well researched.

How would you teach a middle / high schooler how to code?

Obviously there are many sites out there on "teach yourself how to code" and books on "learn to code in 30 days." I have a little bit of a different take on the subject, and would love to get your opinion.If you were teaching a 14 year old the most important thing to expose them to the world of programming, what would it be? Let's say you have 1-2 hours a week and a year to do it.

Unrelated: what does your username mean? I'm hoping it's totally random.
Could you clarify that?

My favorite part BY FAR was when Tim Cook introduced the Foo Fighters like they were an Apple product.

Skip to the end if you haven't seen it. Definitely worth it. I couldn't stop laughing.

Re:Romney Campaign Spending up to $120K a day on Twitter Ads on Tuesday September 04, 2012 @08:26AM (#4474226)
I know this is the age old question... But are these things effective? Is there any data on the ROI for campaigns for online advertising?

Ha! The exact same thing happened to me.

If you are in DC I highly recommend the tasting menu at Sushi Taro. Very similar experience to the film - 10 courses of amazing food (although it includes some non sushi items as well).

Ask HN: What is your ideal income?

So this was inspired by the other thread on income sources that's on the front page right now.This one may be even more personal... But it's something that I've been thinking a lot about lately.How much money do you need to feel secure?To make this reasonable - lets do it like this:1. How much income would be your absolute base requirement for 2013?2. How much money do you want to be...

Unnecessarily snarky :) You've just opened up your entire "comments" section to attack by the grammar police. Be warned...

I'm trying to get all of that to sync with my beeper. The future is now!

Signed up! Will it have an "offline" mode for Gmail? This is something I, too, have been wanting for a long while...

Been watching Breaking Bad? ;)
So instead of talking about the content, we are all discussing the way that he posted his content.

Who cares? One click, two clicks. It really doesn't effect me that much.

I think all of us are talking way too much much about how much HN needs to be fixed. Almost every large thread has a reference to how HN is broken. HN may or may not be "going downhill" but if that's all we talk about... It certainly will.

And I recognize the irony in this statement. :)

Great graphic. I would love to see this extended back a few more years. Out of curiosity - what's your data source?

Your observation is interesting! Do you have any insight into why that is?

I completely agree with this sentiment. If you don't like him - then don't read him!
Check out screenleap. I've been using it for a week now and love it.

Ask HN: What are app developers buisness models?

Hello everyone!I am not an app developer, and I have no plans of becoming one anytime soon. This question is just for my personal curiosity. I was just downloading yet another series of apps (read: addiction) from the App store and I was wondering - can someone who runs an iPhone app company give me a snapshot of their business?How many downloads do you get for your apps each month, and how...

I would say so.
Re:Gijit: It's like Rapportive for Google Calendar on Thursday May 10, 2012 @09:44AM (#3953411)
That makes a lot of sense. In fact - if you had a parallel extension running in gmail (like rapportive) - you could see the same information in both places AND see when you're meeting your email contacts next.

Don't know if it has wide appeal, but I would love that.
