Re:Chronos Will Turn Any Watch into a Smartwatch on Monday November 09, 2015 @04:46AM (#10532114)
2.5mm is too thick. Thickness is an important criteria on watches for me, so the idea of adding 2.5mm to a watch with a thickness of 13mm is not very appealing.

How is an integrated GPS cutting edge? Polar has had watches with GPS for a while now..

To each his own, I think the Moto 360 looks like a hockey puck :)

(I'm not Che or Maradona, so I'm not ditching my analogue watch for a smart watch any time soon, even if I can pay with it..)

Re:Meet the Apple Watch on Tuesday September 09, 2014 @02:47PM (#8291939)
Can you pay using the moto 360?

Finally, someone not trying to mimic analogue watches.

How do you know that? Anyway, Show HN is for people to show off something they've built.

Why not?

How is this sexist if it was made for OP's wife?

I have never submitted anything to Google Play, but there has to be some sort of guidelines for what you can submit and not?

Or he could have just searched the web - "(...) searching the web I find dozens of similar stories"

Re:The most overused logos, at the moment on Tuesday July 22, 2014 @05:31PM (#8071675)
Of course logos from spec work sites will be generic and overused. Good, original logos cost a lot of money.
Re:Responsive Logos on Tuesday July 22, 2014 @08:13AM (#8068497)
I think that's intentionally, as you still recognize the logo as NIKE :)

They seem to be using "The Hobo’s Method" as well.
Re:Responsive Logos on Tuesday July 22, 2014 @05:38AM (#8068049)
I think the whole reason for having a logo mark is to have something is that is immediately recognised, even when the logo type is omitted. You can't/don't always use the full logo, as it isn't always the best visual solution.
Re:Responsive Logos on Tuesday July 22, 2014 @05:33AM (#8068034)
I've never seen it before, so I do not think that has been ever used officially.
Ah, I didn't know that.
Should Apple and Google be responsible for what the children are doing on a tablet/mobile phone? Does not an in-app purchase require the password for an account connected to a credit card?

Re:Electric Nissan Leaf has become the most popular car in Norway on Thursday November 07, 2013 @08:15AM (#6689097)
Yes, we do have one of the biggest wealth funds. The problem is that we will probably have to spend more than we are spending today, if the income from taxes is reduced (our national budget will probably not become "cheaper" in the future). And if the demand for oil starts to decrease, maybe we'll spend more money than we are earning from oil export. I know this won't happen in the near future, but I still think that the electric cars will be taxed more one day. Other perks for electric car owners will probably be history in a few years too (electric cars clogging up the bus lanes).

That being said, I hope I'm wrong. I wouldn't mind owning an electric car, the day I need to own a car.

Re:Electric Nissan Leaf has become the most popular car in Norway on Thursday November 07, 2013 @07:24AM (#6688955)
Because a Nissan Leaf still costs ~$30-35000 in Norway. I can buy a used, reliable, petrol car for under half of that.

And the incentives the Norwegian Government introduced to encourage people to buy electric cars, will not last forever. It will definitely last through 2017, but after that - no one knows. The Norwegian Government will probably lose too much money, if people stopped buying petrol cars today.
