The Humble Indie Bundle is, which is why it has indie in the name. There are multiple Humble Bundles, not all of them indie, and not all of them games. See the Humble eBook Bundle and the Humble Music Bundle.
Disagree, this is a service and Staples already offers paper printing and other services.

Kinko's might be a better fit though, as they're more well known for them.
I use Foursquare whenever I travel. I find it especially useful when I am in a new airport. I can usually get information of the best security lines, best places to eat, where outlets and wifi are, etc.

If you read HN then you understand the benefit of reading users comments after you read an article. Foursquare lets you read users comments while you are visiting a location.

However I am not sure if/how this translates to profitability so I am not speaking to that end.
Also pay attention to the story that you tell yourself. We often create elaborate stories to justify to ourselves why we can't do something.

I've been waiting for "Up Next" Since I migrated from Winamp - Being able to play a song, and then realize "I know what would go PERFECTLY after this", is very useful.

Or listening to music, selecting a much of tracks, and throwing them in the queue, without the hassle of creating a playlist ahead of time.

Very pleased!
"Buy now" makes sense because you would be buying a license.

Although I do agree that the distinction between a product with DRM and a license to use a product with DRM does not seem well distinguished. Exactly what you are obtaining should be spelled out, at least in some form of legalese somewhere that you see when you buy the product, not just in some document buried on the website you're browsing.
It works well for me on Windows but there are no significant performance improvements. Design is no doubt better.

I still wonder why Apple doesn't use their $100 billion to get some A-grade software engineers. Steve Jobs used to boast about A-level players and all that. But current mess that iTunes is can't be from A-level players.

And don't even get me started on Safari for Windows. Apple just seems to have dropped ball completely on it!
No, but it can run AIDE:

RPS also only covers games that run on Microsoft Windows (and the occasional board game).
I find that difficult to credit - I don't have any insider info., but that's not how Apple goes, for the most part.

From my first experience, it does seem to be whole lot faster than iTunes < 11. I also like interface more.

> Did you ever compare the Dell device with other ultrabook hardware, such as Asus Zenbook, HP, etc?

No other Ultrabooks, no, though I've owned both an HP Envy 14 and an HP Pavilion before that. Both always ran Linux well for me. I've tested out other Ultrabooks in the store (all running Windows), and the XPS13 was one of the ones I liked more, though I remember liking one of the Asus models too.

Other hardware may be fine; the big difference for me is the official support (even if I don't use it, it's nice to know it exists). The XPS13 hardware hasn't given me any reason to complain, but I'm also not very particular.
This is pretty bad ass.

It seems to me that natural selection is, for the most part, broken now for humans. Intelligence and other positive characteristics don't seem to get involved in whether they have surviving offspring today the way I imagine it did a few thousand years ago. Is it true that natural selection for humans is mostly dead? Perhaps I'm wrong about this, but it's something that interests and concerns me.

A similar argument was made on behalf of the morons who planned to throw molotov cocktails at police stations --- that their equipment was provided by undercover cops, and that they were thus entrapped.

There are real stories about politicized investigations resulting in entrapment, such as when criminals are turned into plants at mosques and then make up entire plots that nobody believes could possibly be true, then lie about the involvement of random people at the mosque. That's happened.

How much sympathy am I supposed to have for someone who "buys" a "molotov cocktail" (do you really need to be supplied with one?) and then plots for days or weeks about how and where to use it?

This article does attempt to make a case for the impairment of the Cleveland bombing suspects. But growing up in a broken home doesn't automatically deprive a person of their ability to know that blowing up a bridge is wrong.

I don't know whether I care whether these people are convicted of felonies or sent to long-term psychiatric treatment or even released back onto the streets. But I think I do care about the effort to turn people like the Cleveland bombers or the NATO molotov idiots into heroes of the Occupy movement.
Yeah I agree. But they were trying to hire somebody for a salaried position and in an age where 100k salaries for newgrads are a commodity offering to do that job for 0k really does say a lot about you. I'm not saying OP shouldn't work for free, just that he should try to sound less desperate. The job search is like dating. If I tell my partner on the first or second date that I love them and would do everything for them, that sends the worst signals.
You have no idea how awesome this is.

I've been looking for a good, reliable, and fully-featured managed DNS literally for the last 2 weeks straight (I'm tired of the default managed offerings from Rackspace, they are pretty bare-bones). None (free or paid) I've found have impressed me.

I've taken Hurricane Electric's IPv6 certification courses, used their Tunnel broker services, and I implicitly trust their tech. They really know what they're doing and their services are complete, well-managed, and work great. I will also gladly pay for their offerings if they move in that direction.

For those of you who haven't been introduced to Hurricane, please visit the site above and explore it. I highly recommend the IPv6 certification as a way to introduce yourself to IPv6 concepts, and the tunnel broker service as a way to set your own sites and clients up to use it before you have available infrastructure from your ISP or host.

Thank you very much, this is great news indeed.
For starters simple integration with your social feed, just for quick scanning.

Then there are all these next-gen features:
- In Inbox2 I built something Rapportive like but used your social connections (mind you that was almost 3 years ago), that can defnately be improved with services such as FullContact now adays

- I did a priority inbox type of thing that IMO still performs better then Google priority inbox, I never released it tho and its not part of the open source codebase as well. The difference was that it did ranking based on the social relationship you had with a person (so even counting things like FB messages, tweets, etc).

- Best of all is Inbox2's search feature tho, its people centric. The idea is that generally you might not be able to find back an email based on keywords but you almost always know the person or the company that sent you the email. Inbox2 alsready has the first iteration of this feature, search doesnt start at fulltext but al the person that sent you the email. Sparrow has something kind of where you can search on emails but the way I built it was on aggregated profiles of people (so even if you had 4 email addresses and 1 facebook profile it would still know it was you).

Then there are also all these next-gen features around improving email productivity. Just an example:

- Marking an email that I send as a task. We often send emails witch are like "hey can you do this for me", then we are at the mercy of the other end actually actually sending us a "done" reply. yes I know about asana and all these other things but fact of the matter is that most tas assignment STILL happens in email.

My client would allow you to mark an email as a task, the receiving end woud actually see a task popup and our email clients would be able to communicate with each other around the status of that task.

Oh and also check out the built in GTD functinality, where you have built in buttons for "todo", "read later" and "maybe someday" type of things.
A desktop expects input devices, yes, but also there has been a wonderful need to accommodate disabled people for decades prior to the whole tablet thing, and so all modern desktops have great support for auxiliary input devices, and in the case of business software some of it is even legally mandated in order to sell to government. Microsoft has had a great built-in framework for touch/stylus driven input since Windows XP (2001).

The end result is that an on-screen keyboard or gesture input is just as capable of driving desktop software, and it's been that way for a very long time. If any aspect of the experience is suboptimal, it would be tiny widget sizes that are unaccommodating to thumb-sized input. But that's covered by inclusion of a stylus.
* In linux-land, there's an OOM killer (http://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer) that would have started taking processes out. You have to exhaust swap for it to really take effect, and once you hit swap, your entire machine suddenly becomes hugely IO bound - in shared or virtual hosting environments, this usually makes the machine totally unresponsive.

* I've never seen any sort of virtual hosting service without either a remote console or a remote reboot. Usually both.

I also researched _every_ person who I'd be talking to. Has a lot of PostgreSQL related posts on their blog? "Oh yeah I hate MySQL". Re-tweeted a tweet about a MongoDB bug report? "I prefer traditional databases for serious apps". Has a blog post about Go? "I think the speed advantage that Go can offer is really interesting" And so on and so forth. People like people who are like them, with pretty much everyone exposing their lives and opinions, stuff like this is up for easy pickings.

That doesn't sound very sincere.
What this intentional?
I find it strange that you would bring up the (possibly mythical) "20-year-old who knows everything about technology" in the same statement as "deep dives in college as a warning sign". In my, admittedly limited, experience, the big difference between someone with "a formal education with an expensive stamp" and someone without is breadth.

There are, as far as I've seen, very few "20-year-olds who know everything about technology", but there are plenty of 20-year-olds who know a great deal about some specific technology or technologies. And if that technology is what you need (note, not what you want), they're golden. And if by "startup/technology sector", you mean the "web startup sector", that's fairly likely. On the other hand, if it isn't, you may not be. If all you have is a hammer and a screwdriver, everything is going to look like a threaded nail.
I think the idea of looking for a leader is poorly constructed.

Different tasks can be approached with different structures, which also depends on the composition of the group. The kind of person to lead (or not to lead) the group effectively would vary greatly.

So how does it make any sense to pick a leader without knowing the context?
WP Super Cache (using the htaccess option) got a client's site through 56,000 uniques / 78,000 page views on a HostGator VPS with 1.3GB RAM. The site unexpectedly got picked up by Japanese blogs as it was being taken live. Google Analytics showed up to 400 active visitors. Fun times.

I think the root problem is that modern governments aren't trustworthy with our freedom of speech, which leads people to try to hide their perfectly legitimate free speech activity, but criminals want to hide too so it's an inherently dodgy proposition. The only really good solution is to fix the governments so we can have an era where people can feel free to exercise their freedom of speech without repercussion from barbarians.

The XY Antipattern
tl;dr Apple is not building any features that MSFT can't copy, because Google gives it away for free it must be a toy to them.

Sounds more to me like an analyst who either a.) bought a lot of MSFT shares or shorted Google/Apple, or b.) works for a company that bought a lot of MSFT shares or shorted Google/Apple. His 'criticisms' of both are specious at best.
To rebut his claims about Apple: "no one ever got fired for buying IBM". And as for Google, RedHat has a $1b a year business case for free software.

This guy doesn't understand mobile at all. It's sad if he's able to move the markets with his comments.
IE has caused a lot of pain for web developers. The browser itself has gotten better, but semi-recent decisions (like the fact that WindowsXP is stuck with IE8) still cause pain with these developers.

Even if this was resolved and all Windows machines were magically upgraded to IE9 or IE10, I still couldn't trust microsoft to act developers interest. With this in mind, I will continue to evangelize other platforms when given the opportunity.

It was a great commercial, though. It definitely made me feel silly for evangelizing other browsers, until I remembered that these problems with IE still remain.

tl;dr: Wounds inflicted by IE still remain. And trust will be an issue for a long time.
Anyone that thinks their smartphone and self driving car will in any way impact the evolutionary pressures is very self deluded. Evolution will act on our species' population for many hundreds of centuries before any significant impact from technology is seen.

Looks like a coat of paint, nothing more. They are always so tantalizingly close to radically rethink everything. But they don’t seem to dare, and that’s sad.
So a man with - quite literally - a vested interest in Microsoft is... boosting Microsoft? Film at 11.

I would have enjoyed reading a more detailed presentation of Charles Sizemore's analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the three companies he discusses; this soundbite-y stuff is a bit weak and unsatisfying. Why, for example, is end-to-end control of the platform worse than only owning a bit of it? Why is advertising unsustainable as a business model? There isn't enough here to agree or disagree with, it's just an opinion by someone who's (probably unfairly) made to sound like another ex-frat boy with an MBA and a limited supply of non-sporting metaphors.

It's difficult to take this article seriously. No claims are corroborated. Interesting to observe that HN took a sensational headline and upvoted. Wish there was a downvote, as it's not worth flagging, but a downvote definitely.
>Their demand of it CAUSES IT TO BE MADE.

I mean, you can shout it in all caps, but I don't know if we can really say that's established as fact.

But it's pretty disingenuous to claim that people in this thread are defending CP. The issue is far more nuanced than that, but we all agree that people taking pictures/video of themselves hurting children is terrible. It's just that from there the discussion moves into pragmatism and how we should actually be dealing with it as a society. Pedophiles are a fact of life, and it's better for everyone if we can find ways for them to satisfy their urges without hurting anybody, instead of waiting for them to do something horrible so that we can punish them for it.

Just to be very specific because people love to misinterpret me on this point: legalizing CP is not a solution that I am advocating. A
benign outlet" will, by definition, have to be something that does not harm children.

I have to take that back. The mini player considers "space" the same as "enter" and just hits whatever has focus at the moment. Also, it tends to select "back" if you refocus.
So you're coming off as someone who will say anything to get the job. Not my preferred candidate....

If you look at the words on the linked page, the "analysis" is from Charles Sizemore of Sizemore Capital, and Sizemore Capital "holds a long position in Microsoft".
No question good work was done. But I imagine a complete rewrite would involve say non-modal preference dialogs just to pick a long-running irritation out of a hat.

I don't see any mention of the fact that I'm buying a license on the page. Whatever about the hacker news set, but you can't honestly expect average consumers to pick up on this distinction without a very clear and obvious "DRM for dummies" tutorial. Legalese won't cut it. This nonsense is unethical and dishonest.

Mutations and metaphors
This bundle doesn't have "indie" in the name. I'm pretty sure they've done similar bundles in the past. I think it's a good thing that they are introducing more traditional publishers to this pricing model, and I hope the experiment is a success.
No. I don't typically use any MSFT products outside of work other than Windows and Office. I was implying that at work, implementing things like AD permissions, Windows Server, SQL server, exchange, network shares, etc. etc. etc., MSFT solutions make for a much more pleasant experience with very few issues or headaches.

I'm a client/server web enthusiast, so I like my linux boxes and vim editor, etc. I'm not intrigued by heavy frameworks and bloated IDEs.
How much space will it take for OS+Office+other default applications

Exactly as much space as it takes up on your laptop.
As fare as I remember the 4th indie bundle didnt have donations for EFF, as the charity are generally voted for by the developers.

also they have done none cross playform bundles before (with some of there android bundles.)

why not take this for what it is, the chance to pick up some decent games for cheep, and supporting eather a charity or a struggling games company who make some good games.

> Let's say I volunteer building houses for people in the 3rd world, or I give free talks at my daughter's school, or I help some friends get their startup off the ground, none of these means they are worthless.

You're right, but the difference is perspective. In those situations, the "employers" expect the work to be free, because they are "paying" you in non-monetary ways (such as, continued or closer friendship). So someone offering to do work for free is meeting their expectations.

In the case of a stranger approaching a company...An employer is expecting such work to cost money...and if someone unknown offers to do that work for free...then there are multiple ways to interpret that offer, many of them detrimental to the candidate:

1) The candidate is actually not very good or is inexperienced, or else he would know that he could be getting paid good money to do what he is offering to do.

2) The candidate sees the proposed work as trivial. See 1)

3) The candidate is desperate, leading the employer to wonder if either #1 or #2 have something to do with that.

4) The candidate sees the employer as desperate.

5) The candidate is actually very good and is fully confident that his work will knock the employers' socks off.

Sure, #5 is possible. But likely?...
And the depressing thing that these soundbites already say that he didn't (want to) explain more.
