The hardware buttons in the concept images look like they are for Android.

I kept getting "invite code not found" errors. If you have any more invites, I would love to get one.

Looks awesome. Can't wait to try this out...unfortunately the invite code seems to have expired.

You are not an idiot...but it is annoying. Are all the IE's displaying it incorrectly, including IE9? I'm using IE9 beta and pretty happy with it. Makes me sad that I can't view your page :)

Windows 7 was not designed for touch. We have known this for years. I don't see why this blogger would expect anything different. Wait for a tablet running software designed for touch, and then compare. Yes, Win7 is the best MS has out there right now to compare to, but I still argue that this is apples to oranges.

Too many acronyms that I'm not familiar with because I never played Eve. Can someone translate?

What is toadjaw? The homepage didn't seem to have any info.

>Except it does have a lot in common with the Windows Phone, as I already said, plus a lot more.

You're right, they are both phones. Anything else?

Google gave everyone an android right? I don't think this move is tacky - It's a very smart idea and it probably boosted morale at the company.

Question: You are the largest software maker in the world. How do you get a good developer base for your new phone OS coming out?

Answer: Give every employee said phone.

Consequences...will never be the same.

I've been working on a distributed scalable social web 2.0 AJAX HTML5 iPhone database in the cloud...it's going to be awesome.

Frontline did a great piece on this called College, Inc.

I think the term you wanted him to look up was 'free software'.

I thought it was a pretty hilarious comment by the interviewer and thought it would make a good title for the article. I found the blog post interesting (and entertaining) to read. I agree that the Nixon reference was a little absurd.

Edit: They put up the clip from that scene. Zuckerberg is sweating his ass off.

And what happens when someone exploits Linux?

Security in software is relative. Everything is vulnerable. If someone wants to hack into Google's super-secret data and Google is running Linux or Mac OS X, then the hackers will find exploits in that software. This article is a joke for implying that this switch will in any way make them more secure.

You should check out their blog, they really seem to be making an effort to do just that.

Interesting. I heard they aren't supporting WebSQL because they teamed up with Mozilla to propose a different local storage called IndexedDB.

Anyone have a clue as to why there is no canvas support in IE9PP? The IE team has been big on pushing the fact that the want to support the standards - is there some controversy around the canvas element like there is around WebSQL?

I'm curious why you ask users to run Safari / Chrome and not Firefox or IE8? Are you writing your site against webkit specifically?

Other than that, it's a great looking site. However, I found myself leaving quickly since there was no data on rentals near me (or in my state, for that matter.) I suspect this will be your biggest challenge moving forward.

Would be interesting to know which product she worked on at Microsoft. Sure they have teams that don't deliver, but they also have teams that get shit done.

This guy is (seemingly) so much more productive at 19 than I was. I really envy that.

you are the first true troll I have seen on HN

>dumping eight million gallons of water per hour into the Charles River.

I can't wait to see the Big Picture cover this.

The original statement is missing a comma after "that"

Is that a screenshot of IE7?

MS Supports most things for 10 years. IE 6 came out in late 2001, so you've got about another year and a half before your argument makes sense.

While I agree that Twitter / Yelp should be scared (very...very scared,) you forget that Google makes little to no money on all of those things you mention. They are a search company. Facebook stands to be a giant threat to their search business.
