News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

shareme

that low-ish revenue you report is also there in the iphone platform as the overall aggregate iphone app sales masks that data point.

Now can we have a honest conversation instead of using the non-meaningful fragmentation word designed to start a non-conversation..

Its the same problem with code quality..code quality dramatically impacts sellability on both platforms..however we have a diss-connect as on android people want to blame Google Play market rather than the problem and on iphone peopel want to claim its something else because Apple never gets anything wrong..

ITS THE SAME EFFING problem FOLKS ON Both platforms!

Can we please remove our heads from our asses!?

Re:Banks are too big to see what's coming on Saturday March 31, 2012 @03:29PM (#3781279)
they already have a mobile SIM card that acts as a credit card..this is why Smartphones will take longer to uptake there due to the different SIM card not necessarily the phone device price.
the article is link bait..

How do I know? Because the same fragmentation exists on iphone but smaller in quantities..to say it is not there on iphone is a bit somewhat lying like republicans..

Now lets see someone be honest about this on both platforms or STFU

I think I will switch to Google Go

Is it not time for MS to buy another mobile OS company?

MSQNX coming to a phone near you...

that is an UUID which every linux/unix OS device has one including desktops. Its what URI is based upon, even MS has their own version of such a thing in MS windows..
What is sad is that US citizens do not understand that this un-civil war has been going on for the past 30 years and we as US citizens have done nothing that has a statistical impact of reversing the damage.

Instead we invade Iraq and Afghanistan based on the political connections of a former Haliburton employee and stockholder.

And if we do not wake up soon.. WWII will be on our doorstep.

if that is true than no TSA rep involved in the lawsuit can also appear before congress..I mean common use some logic please!

The TSA excuse for exclusion is sham in of itself

Kind of failed just like the rigging of Nokia to choose WP over Android right MS? :)

good news as its one of the important tools that I use
guess where trying out new ideas is somewhat low in costs as far as movies go? 2d Mobile Games :)
its a little more complicated than that..

in the USA if you do not pay more than $1600 per month salary for those who work overt time that computer engineer is an automatic non exempt employee by one particular Federal job act law and there are some more laws on top of that..

Obviously you forgot Kevin Rose's background..are you aware that in fact he is a developer?

Look up his CS degree dude..

At least know about the effing subject before you open your effing mouth

you remind me of an unwanted salesperson or recruiter invading someone else's space.

Being an asshole is no excuse whatsoever whether you are covering a public figure or not in a story..

most on HN will not state this plainly but you are behaving like an asshole..please stop

What is surprising is how easy it is to compute the odds..its just permutations and combinations..not that hard its a 100 level math course in most colleges.

What makes it different is that we needed two things to leverage the $1 million he put up per Casino and the Casino management being fool-hardy enough to believe that they computed the odds on the change in rules and discounts correctly.

It would be like say oh stacking the deck in that the founders get one class of stock and everyone else another class which allows the founders to retain ownership control of a start-up.

You do not need to card count as he changed the rules to only have hand shuffled six decks in the shoe..I can with a certain memory system compute the odds on cards dealt from that shoe and so can you..its not hard..its simple math..

is MANN act state or Federal?
Here is an equally non-meaning statement, I will never hire the Yammer CEO to ever walk my dog.

Pure bait link BS..

I have a question..

How ethical is this to set something up to obviously collect 'free data'?

Re:It’s time to start paying for Android updates on Wednesday March 14, 2012 @01:27PM (#3704202)
OEMs already 'get paid' for updates..through the MOs..

They are playing both sides of the coin by locking things down.

Re:Dear "Landlord" on Wednesday March 14, 2012 @11:24AM (#3703560)
I think we have missed the un-mentioned point...

What does this say about Twitter that they have to buy product staff? What does that say about the value of their IPO?

The Thiel proposition would be, long-term, we should be betting against every one who IPO'd thus far.

Lets see if we can get some use out of this thread:

What countries DO NOT SUPPORT SOFTWARE PATENTS?

My probably guess if China..any others?

Re:Yahoo Crosses The Line on Tuesday March 13, 2012 @09:17AM (#3698237)
And how many worthless patents doe USV firms have?

And where was Fred when MS started its shit?

Oh effing come one now, lets have a honest conversation Fred instead of some lame miss-direction..

So the TSA and CIA cannot use it?
Re:The story of Google Guava and patches on Monday March 12, 2012 @05:56AM (#3692870)
Google could carry this suggestion further and re-opensource all projects in the same manner including Android..

Not that it would be an easy transition but the long-term value from all the communities would be in Google's favor..

Yes, the feature set is through Sequayah(not correct spelling) which is part of the mobile java tools..

another flawed article..

Can we suggest that NYTIMES seek better article submissions? Maybe some HN'er?

Yes you can in fact skip HR..

Shh..little secret..od you know how programmers skip FB or Google HR?

They submit a product to FB or Google that gets a buyout offer..

Smaller firms its much easier to skip HR..you just get a hld of the engineer manager

Re:How India Became America on Sunday March 11, 2012 @06:28AM (#3690085)
a question..

Many other countries with corruption problems see a huge increase in skilled worker outflows..namely Russia with a 2 million outflow every 10 years..

Is India also facing a killed worker outflow due to corruption conditions? Outflow in the sense that the number is higher than the net difference between the birth and death rates.

Re:French comic-book artist "Moebius" dies on Saturday March 10, 2012 @05:53PM (#3688945)
not just comics and books go watch Aliens or Tron again..the effects were more than just inspired by him..
some backstory..beware personal opinion

I had the opportunity to interview with Loopt sometime ago, right when they in fact did the name change to Loopt.

My read than was that they in long term terms were going to fail as certain constraints to do things were not in their best interests...at that time it was Mobile Operator limits..tie-=ups

Its a sad thing as current deal looks to be only based on patents values..not what Sam's team put into it..
