Thank you for replying!

I will make sure to add meaningful insight and information!

Thanks!

I don't understand how Ycombinator News works sometime. We have written this article http://wind8apps.com/microsoft-stock-down-11-percent/ and it was the FIRST here, it got on the front page, it got REMOVED and then somebody submitted a simple link to the stock page.

I mean, don't we deserve a little credit for being quick enough? Or we ALWAYS have to be the primary source of something. In this case, the google stock page is only a tool.

Please explain on how this works because I have previously submitted stories that I discovered and further developed.

I just need to understand how this community works to make the most of it.

thank you!

I think that's a lil' bit hard to quantify

By the way, if some moderator reads this, the story has been pulled of because of its stupid mistake?

Thanks again!

what doesn't kill me, makes me stronger!

I expect you'll visit my website often, now that you've contributed to its success :)

Phew,

Clive, this should've been the first comment I got, not all this :(

I guess the answer to your question is this - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb895144.aspx

Definitely,

I was so damn surprised, man!

The last story I had on the front page was like 6 months ago so I said to become active again and thought timing was crucial with this one.

I got the timing right :D

What I want to ask is this, with the current title, would it have been as "baiting"? I mean, did it have a chance of getting on the front page with the actual title? Because if it did, then it's too bad :(

Thanks! Please read above, I always check my articles. This time, it was just unexpected for me :)

Thanks for the time you took to correct me

Indeed, the were some errors inside the piece that I almost never make

My mistake was to write and then submit it here, NOT KNOWING NOR EXPECTING that it would get so quickly picked up on the front page.

Quicker than I realized, I was confronted with the mistake I made, without having time to re-examine the article again.

And yes, I did research. Initially, I wanted to write something about Microsoft's focus on the cloud and then I found this piece - http://rcpmag.com/blogs/scott-bekker/2013/07/wpc-microsoft-1..., which is 3 days old, so, most likely, that is the initial source, but not Zdnet.

Then, I linked Microsoft's focus on cloud with the expansion in Iowa + another article with a funny, side fact - http://www.greenm3.com/gdcblog/2013/7/11/microsofts-new-orga...

then, I found this one - http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2013/07/10/micro...

Therefore, I stand for my work and I accept the errors that I made but please don't label my effort that quickly

I just love it how you folks always give it to the "zero spelling mistakes" website and all. You're simply giving no chance to other websites to evolve. I gave that source because they were first, not because they were exclusive.

and it wasn't a reinterpretation of that source only.

"Steve Ballmer: Microsoft Has 1 Million Servers in their Datacenters, Only Second to Google" is this correct?

again, apologies for the misleading title

It wasn't even a link bait. I understood the difference only now. I am not an expert in the field, I agree, I didn't even thought it'd get this quickly in the top. Again, I didn't intend this to be a link bait, apologies!

I understand the difference now, thank you!

Has been updated, as well as the "server" issue

thanks!

I know, and so does Steve Ballmer, I assume

More ads, less freedom!

My pleasure!

I'll buy it if I had the dough!

It is, but I don't get your point. Though the writer is from Romania

why?

huh?

Did you read the entire article?

Ryan, there's some truth in your assertions BUT this is not ONLY Symbian. It's MeeGo + Symbian on the core + Smarterphone that Nokia has acquired = new Asha platform software.

Yes, but look at more features, read the article and you'll see

+1 to that. And, you won't be paying 100$. This is that type of phone you'll get for free on your carrier with a basic plan

would you buy it? :P

of course, there are a lot of them, but what about the quality of them ... ?

Indeed, the first one is good, but second one - Starting at: $219.00 + it's a no name. the same about the rest of them. archos' interesting though. but no, asha 501 is not pathetic at all

I definitely don't need it :D
