hxw··on Chronos Will Turn Any Watch into a Smartwatch
2.5mm is too thick. Thickness is an important criteria on watches for me, so the idea of adding 2.5mm to a watch with a thickness of 13mm is not very appealing.
hxw··on Microsoft Band
How is an integrated GPS cutting edge? Polar has had watches with GPS for a while now..
hxw··on Meet the Apple Watch
To each his own, I think the Moto 360 looks like a hockey puck :)

(I'm not Che or Maradona, so I'm not ditching my analogue watch for a smart watch any time soon, even if I can pay with it..)

hxw··on Meet the Apple Watch
Can you pay using the moto 360?

Finally, someone not trying to mimic analogue watches.
hxw··on Show HN: MealDays – Meal planner for my wife
How do you know that? Anyway, Show HN is for people to show off something they've built.

Why not?

How is this sexist if it was made for OP's wife?
hxw··on Banned for Life
I have never submitted anything to Google Play, but there has to be some sort of guidelines for what you can submit and not?

Or he could have just searched the web - "(...) searching the web I find dozens of similar stories"

hxw··on The most overused logos, at the moment
Of course logos from spec work sites will be generic and overused. Good, original logos cost a lot of money.
hxw··on Responsive Logos
I think that's intentionally, as you still recognize the logo as NIKE :)
hxw··on Responsive Logos
They seem to be using "The Hobo’s Method" as well.
hxw··on Responsive Logos
I think the whole reason for having a logo mark is to have something is that is immediately recognised, even when the logo type is omitted. You can't/don't always use the full logo, as it isn't always the best visual solution.

I've never seen it before, so I do not think that has been ever used officially.
hxw··on Europe Wants Apple and Google to Fix In-App Payments Problem
Ah, I didn't know that.
hxw··on Europe Wants Apple and Google to Fix In-App Payments Problem
Should Apple and Google be responsible for what the children are doing on a tablet/mobile phone? Does not an in-app purchase require the password for an account connected to a credit card?
hxw··on The New Airbnb
I can hardly see it when I'm trying too see it. People are reaching.
hxw··on Show HN: The Rap Test
This is pretty cool! :)
hxw··on Polygon's PlayStation 4 Review
Sorry about that, didn't check the link before I submitted.
hxw··on Electric Nissan Leaf has become the most popular car in Norway
Yes, we do have one of the biggest wealth funds. The problem is that we will probably have to spend more than we are spending today, if the income from taxes is reduced (our national budget will probably not become "cheaper" in the future). And if the demand for oil starts to decrease, maybe we'll spend more money than we are earning from oil export. I know this won't happen in the near future, but I still think that the electric cars will be taxed more one day. Other perks for electric car owners will probably be history in a few years too (electric cars clogging up the bus lanes).

That being said, I hope I'm wrong. I wouldn't mind owning an electric car, the day I need to own a car.

hxw··on Electric Nissan Leaf has become the most popular car in Norway
Because a Nissan Leaf still costs ~$30-35000 in Norway. I can buy a used, reliable, petrol car for under half of that.

And the incentives the Norwegian Government introduced to encourage people to buy electric cars, will not last forever. It will definitely last through 2017, but after that - no one knows. The Norwegian Government will probably lose too much money, if people stopped buying petrol cars today.

hxw··on Android KitKat set to crush Apple?
iOs still has a higher adoption rate than Android. The App Store is still number one in revenue.

No, this will not crush Apple.

hxw··on Tarsnap logo contest
IMO, the designer is not to blame if the client keeps changing their mind about what they (or their spouse, nephew, neighbour or cat) like - which, believe it or not, happens.
hxw··on Samsung unveils Galaxy Gear smartwatch with built-in camera, 70 apps
