Why anything from MSNBC even makes it to HN, let alone the ridiculous content...?

Never really used Facebook much, but I like and use Google+ regularly. A lot of my geek friends are already there, as well as many photographers. There's a thriving photography community on Google+, and it's very engaging.

Re:Five Things Apple Can Learn From Windows 8 on Thursday September 15, 2011 @03:57AM (#2999255)

The visual contrast between Metro's modern look and the vulgarity of the standard Windows GUI is nauseating.

I hope Apple won't be tempted, rather, I'm sure they will not. It looks incoherent: from the the Metro UI's concept of tiles, which I dislike, to the duality of the desktop as an app. Cool for geeks, maybe, horribly confusing idea for anyone else. It's stupid to force a full fledged desktop into a tablet. Yet again, anything with a fan is not really a tablet, that's a PC.

Re:OS X Lion: Apple’s Vista moment on Wednesday August 31, 2011 @01:59PM (#2946720)

Linkbait.

Really ? A Vista Moment? Microsoft puts ZERO innovation into it's products. They are boring and unimaginative. Stagnated metaphors and stale esthetics. Lion, on the other hand, is a natural progress for OS X, and form me, an amazing one.

It defiantly boosts my productivity. Not that Snow Leopard was bad, but I upgraded all of our computers while I was still beta testing Lion. It is simply a very useful upgrade,

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. It's like FOX News, only tech fud.

Re:A Eulogy for Google+ on Monday August 15, 2011 @03:25PM (#2888268)

Well, is he really using G+ himself or is his stream empty because he never posts anything?

Anyways, I'm a tech guy, but also into photography (http://plus.google.com/104936988539783595605), and I must say G+ keeps me plenty busy, more then I've ever been on Facebook, where I sometimes cross post to, roughly, the same audience (non of my family members though are on G+ just yet). Actually, I like G+ for being useful, easy to use, and I give Google credit for listening and quickly adapting and evolving.

Is there a kernel extension involved ? What about blocking process e.g. from the terminal etc.

Re:27" imac + lion + playing video = crash on Sunday August 07, 2011 @12:24PM (#2856954)

For me, 10.7.2 (Beta) solved the problem. Does not seem to be related to Flash, as it used to crash randomly with any type of video, in/out the browser, in Safari, or in Chrom's own etc.
