It's fast and smooth, but the font sizes are all over the map. Especially in these HN comment threads. Some of the posts are readable, and some of them use microscopic type.

Interesting to compare this to the tales of AOL's mismanagement in this comment thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4120136

Hear, hear. With all the talk of "pivoting" and whatnot on HN, I'm really surprised at how many people are so utterly hostile to businesses changing course at Internet speed. Have your cake and eat it too, eh?

I am looking to replace my Acer Windows Home Server box with something else, so this article is very timely. Thanks for posting it.

Is the HP Microserver the best computer in its class, or are there other good competitors?

Reverse acquisition into AOL's mobile division.

This is hilarious.

Shitty experiences? Apple made some really, really awful computers during the clone era.

Apple rumor Markov chains. Oh, that would be hilarious.

What's the harm of sending it in the URL? That it looks a little uglier? Using POST instead of GET defeats bookmarking or linking ability.

Whoops.

What made them make that decision in the first place? Didn't they know it would lead to significant blowback? I bet the VS devs weren't the ones that made it.

My Nexus 1 does this with the dock too.

TNW rips off more than just pictures.

IIRC keeping the accelerometer hot is a big battery suck. For this reason Tasker wouldn't let you use accelerometer input as a first-order input. You had to prefix it with some other, less expensive condition, like time of day ranges, wi-fi SSID visibility, etc.
