The most striking thing is that before the iPad 2 was released Samsung was planing to release the tab 10.1. When the new design was revealed of the iPad 2, they did a redesign of the tab 10.1. The old version was already produced and sold as the 10.1v. The new 10.1 design is strikingly similar to the iPad2.

that being said apart from the package printing the rest of the package design is not apples design or idea, I think the benefon Q had a similar set up, (first thing you see it the phone).

I don't know, these exercises seem pointless to me.

If you find that kids in a certain school district have a high rate of death by self-inflicted gun shot, you don't ignore it and say "Well, that's statistically insignificant compared to the number of people who die of cancer every year".

It's still a problem and still needs to be looked at and solved.

How are they right? I really want to understand your point of view.

Do you mean they are not right because the app does not save a screen from anything? What if you are using your iPhone to project something on an plasma screen where a screen saver can save a screen from "burn ins".

I am really interested in your thoughts.
How about they target just one chipset, then. Once that one is a lot faster than all the others due to driver quality no one will want to buy phones using the other chipsets until they have faster drivers. People wouldn't have to be technical either - gadget reviewers and early adopters will highlight it for them. Games might only support the better chips or at least recommend them, etc. So eventually no phone manufacturers will use those chipsets until they have faster drivers because people just won't buy their phones. So the chipset people will have to raise the quality of their drivers in order to compete.

This isn't very different to what happened in the PC market over time. Remember how many graphics card makers there used to be before things settled around ati and nvidia?

What might also happen is that the gpus will start to behave in a similar way, giving you some of the advantage that iOS already enjoys. Kinda like directx or certain "standard" opengl extensions.

Android probably doesn't need 100 completely different chipsets. Some number higher than 1 is probably ideal for innovation and competition, yes, but it is obviously inevitable that not every player will survive in the long run anyway.

I suspect that without Google's intervention nvidia will probably win on driver quality in the long term because of their experience in their area along with tegra's current momentum. But you never know - as it becomes obvious that driver quality affects sales some of the other players might catch on in time too.

It looks like this sort of thing is already happening. Phone makers are bringing out less new models per year, there are fewer chipsets being used, android is getting better and better, the android-reskins that phone manufacturers do are getting more minimal... I suspect it will sort itself out in time.
It was dark. It was crowded. The guy set off a smoke grenade. Everyone was panicking.

Firing a gun in those conditions, you could hit anyone -- by sheer force of numbers, you'd be far more likely to wound a hapless bystander than the shooter. Especially as he was wearing body armour.

As such, I hold that the death toll would have been considerably higher if some of the cinema-goers had been packing heat and decided to shoot back. There's no way this incident is a valid argument for more guns.
I'd like something in between myself, maybe more like Slashdot but with better summaries. Or shorter ones, even, but more than the title. The problem I have with HN's titles-only index page is that there's far too much emphasis on the title as attention-grabber, which tends to favor either linkbaity things, or else stuff that is just relatively simple to state ("Company A does thing B", "Why you should use C"). In particular it disfavors things that need any context to explain, even 2 sentences of context: it has to be immediately clear from the title why you should click.

HACKER NEWS OBJECTIVE OF 2012: KILL CRAIGSLIST.
Wrong questions.

How many people are killed per year with a rifle?

How many people are killed per year with a handgun?

For control:
How many people are killed per year with a knife?

It turns out to be that a lot more people per year are killed with knives than with assault rifles. I saw a number somewhere less than 3% in the FBI database for rifles, whereas knives make up something in the order of 20% to 25% of homicides.

Yes, HANDGUNS are, by far, the weapon most used to commit homicides.

And, yes, the data shows that most homicides seem to affect 18 to 24 year old males.

And, yes, the data shows that hispanic and black kids in inner cities are at most risk.

All I am proposing is that we ought to look at the actual data and act accordingly. I would spend time and money to try to understand and prevent the mass killings of youngsters in the inner cities. That's where the tragedies, to the tunes of thousands of kids per year, are taking place on a daily basis.

The white guy in the suburbs who owns a couple of handguns, a couple of shotguns and a couple of "assault rifles" is not the problem.

I am more than ready to see it differently. If you have reputable data to support the idea that so-called "assault rifles" are responsible for a sizable number of murders please let me know where to find it. I'll read it. The data I looked at was from the US Department of Justice and FBI. Not sure where one would find more accurate data.

My motivation here isn't political. Let's look at the data and see what is REALLY happening as opposed to following media spokes-holes like sheep. I hope intelligent HN readers --who tend to be more analytical-- agree with this approach. We might like to believe that big-scary "assault rifles" are the culprit (and, therefore, what we should focus on) but I have found no data to support this idea. Again, feel free to uncover such data if it exists.

Now, one can always do as on of the Mythbuster guys once said when he didn't like the data: "I reject your reality and substitute my own". That's all well and fine, but it doesn't change the real and valid underlying data, does it?

In other words, you can believe whatever you want, but the truth is immutable.
Good luck Digg team! You have achieved a whole lot in a short time.

Some people love it, some people hate it. Whatever you do, it will happen. Stay true to your vision!
That's pretty bizarre. Care to elaborate on that?
Heh, I've been rejected for 2 weeks because their caching server fucked up and though I uploaded a fixed version of the binary they kept getting the old faulty one.

The reviewer wasn't even capable of telling me the build number of the binary they were reviewing and kept redirecting me to Apple's DTS.

So after using one of my paid DTS inquires for this nonsense the problem got fixed and I had to wait only 2 more weeks for the next review date. The Apple engineer was very capable and friendly though - so no criticism there.

The problem is that the reviewers have no idea of development. They are clueless and I guess Apple hires some low paid college students for these positions. It's like talking to some immature AI or a 5 year old kid. They have their guidelines and rules and aren't capably of any interaction outside of this framework. Wasting our time and money.
The app cannot function as you'd expect a screen saver to do: it won't start running after a period of inactivity. That is outside the scope of functionality available to apps.

As such, yeah the name is a little misleading.
Surely the revolutionary act is making something happen, not in having the ability to make it happen but not doing it. There's nothing Che Guevara did that I physically can't do, but I'm not a revolutionary because of what I've chosen to do.

I must admit I haven't even visited digg in over four years, but wasn't it originally intended to feature user-submitted content? The front page pretty much screams the exact opposite to me. I instantly pictured a bunch of hired goons sitting in an office, submitting content in return for their weekly pay.

The headlines, photos and layout reminds me of Ars Technica without the original content.
The Commodore Pet was introduced in '77. Both were preceded by any number of personal computers of varying capabilities (depending on how you want to define "personal computer" that includes Commodore / MOS Technologies "KIM-1").

Apple invented some aspects, like lots of others.
Kind of true, but the root cause wasn't "well we could release, but it isn't good enough", it was "we've taken so long to get here that nobody would buy it because it's already so old before even being released, we'll have to start again". The rewrites were cause by the delays - and sure, they caused more delays themselves, but not as much as the original delays.

And in the end, they put out a product that they knew wasn't good enough. Literally knew it.

Same back at you - tzs's comment is entirely reasonable. The point is that statistics collected from a situation with a higher similarity to the one you're trying to predict can provide a better indicator than general statistics, even if the sample size is smaller.

For me the appeal is hacking with the Android source on a low cost, unbrickable device.

Having said that, I've always read that ICS requires 512MB of RAM, so we'll have to see how it runs
That's not what people are doing though. They aren't looking at a local issue and trying to figure out what to do to heal the community. They're looking at a shooting in Aurora and asking what to do about our national gun laws. And our national security infrastructure.

And the answer is, largely nothing. Because this is nationally statistical noise.

(And on the subject of noise, giving crazed gun men this level of attention I would think is probably one of, if not the; largest factor in causing these incidents to happen.)
There is a bunch of such devices on dx.com, but I wouldn't be wondered if they start appearing in large department stores all over the world by now, similar to all those cheap Android based tablets you can buy everywhere now. This is essentially the same thing, only minus the display and plus the HDMI.

These comments are potentially made by people who have been using Digg for many years and have continued to be loyal in spite of v4. Imagine yourself in their position when one day you visit your favourite site and everything is gone.
Even though these are the wrong questions, I decided to answer them directly.

Option 1:

None. I don't shoot people and don't own any guns.

Option 2:

Just as many, particularly if they are confined and unarmed.

Option 3:

It depends, if it's a Glock the fucking thing might jam half-way through a clip (had it happen at the gun range with a rental).

These are dumb questions because you can shoot a gun almost just as fast as a rifle and switching magazines takes no time at all. Spend some time at a gun range, will ya? Anyone who's done so would probably laugh at these arguments and questions. All guns are deadly and, in the wrong hands, and, in the wrong circumstances, any shooter can kill dozens of people with handguns or rifles.

But the real reason these questions are dumb is that the data shows that far more people are killed with handguns than with rifles. So your perception that a rifle might allow someone to just strafe a crowd and do more damage doesn't seem to jive with the reality of published DOJ and FBI crime statistics.

I know that someone is going to bring up machine guns next. Fuck it! Let's also introduce gattling guns. The fact remains: More homicides are committed with knives than with rifles every year. I don't think you'll find machine-gun-caused homicides in FBI data. This, despite how scary they might be. Show me reputable data to refute that and we can have a different conversation.
This situation is far more common than most people may realize, and has been for a long time. Lots of us have been potential future millionaires only to watch stock prices fall before we could, or did, exercise stock options.

The key being "one of". The Commodore PET went to market at the same time, and several smaller companies beat both Apple and Commodore to market (though with much more limited machines).

In terms of making them mainstream, both Commodore and Tandy outsold Apple from the start, and the Commodore 64 went on to significantly outperform Apple's combined Apple II sales, despite being on the market a far fewer number of years.

Apple was not first, nor shipping anywhere near the greatest volume.
I have some ideas about why your post is being downmodded. You say that, for instance, those who disagree with you...

"[talk] absolute nonsense"

"[don't] think things through rather than follow like sheep"

"constantly bitch"

"sling distorted statistics [...] and rally idiot voters"

"jump at conclusions without even stopping to think for a moment"

etc etc.

You're not "[only] saying is that the media is too quick to place blame". You're also insulting and pre-emptively dismissing anyone who might disagree with you. That makes it pretty apparent that you're not interested in reasonable debate on this issue, you just want to soapbox.

That might have something to do with the downmods.
Endangered animals flourishing at Hyderabad Zoo

OK, I fire up the site. I see 6 big pictures, 6 links to actual content and minimal navigation. A whole screen and only 6 bits of actual content? Its like a children's book. And more and more sites age going for this style. Is this the web now? The BBC Olympic site has gone this route and its awful to navigate.

Why is this the new way to go? IMHO, it is terrible.

Look at this site, a simple and clear list of links to stories and associated comments. Simple, easy and lots of content on one screen, in my case, 27 linked stories. Please don't ever let HN go this way. I don't want big pretty pictures taking up my screen when Im trying to look for written stories to read. I am not a child.

You have no voting rights, but if someone wants to buy the company, you do own a piece of it. it's not much different than, say, a 2 person company where one person has the majority vote. The second person's vote is worthless anyhow - but if hte company is sold, they are entitled to their share of the sale.

I've always wondered why someone didn't do this. It can be cheaper to endow a gift that trumps the Nobel than to endow a top business school.

University of Chicago sold the name Booth for a $300 million stake in a fund company. The Nobel pays $1.2 million per year. Milner just gave $27 million, which discounted to perpetuity at 5% is $540 million, but he could have had a similar impact for half the cost.
From what I learned and searched for (sorry, no references), in general the important thing for a security background check for government agencies is not that you have shady business in your past - but that you're willing to be totally transparent to your (governmental) employer. Was in the past a heavy consumer of weed/was part of a cult/always attending protests against federal government policies? No problem, just tell us that on the forms/interview BEFORE we find it out for ourselves (and they will find it, because you'll give them permission to).

Transparency and trust is the most important thing here, not your history (in the non-extreme cases).

So willing applicants, don't let your history prevent you from trying.

EDIT: to clarify, the main reason it's being done is because one of the main actual real-life-no-movies-plot threat for such agencies is that someone will find something in your past they don't know about and will blackmail you for confidential information. It's ALL in their interest not to disclose your past shady activities as that will deter recruits from being frank with them, supplying blackmail potential to adversaries. Judge on your own, but if you were my friend I would advice you not to be afraid to fully comply with the screenings as you'll just do harm to you and your country.
I live in a country with tight weapon control, so I'm genuinely curious. What do you need an assault rifle for?
For the most part, you're right. There is one exception: The Verizon 3rd-gen iPads have LTE. The cheapest prepaid plan is $20/month for 1GB of data, and it comes with tethering.
That's why client-side encryption is useful, regardless of what some "security researchers" self-servingly say.
