strozykowski··on Maru OS – A complete desktop experience on a smartphone
Thanks! This looks like a pretty simple solution to me.

In your experience, how well does the lapdock run with an RPi? I have a lapdock lying around, and never thought of this for some reason.

We can't forget the Subservient Chicken.
strozykowski··on Put an end to people mispronouncing your name
This is pretty close to what happens. It's generally phonetic, and yet there seems to be a wide variety of first pronunciations, which deviate from the phonetic by several syllables either way.
strozykowski··on Put an end to people mispronouncing your name
As a bearer of an apparently hard-to-pronounce name, this looks interesting, but I don't know that I would do this.
strozykowski··on Oculus CEO envisions billion-person MMO
Will he leave his last will and testament in the form of an Easter egg hidden inside the game, protected by a series of 80s pop culture-fueled puzzles?

If so, I'm in.

strozykowski··on Hacker taps into baby monitor, shouts at sleeping infant
> Heather picked up her mobile phone and accessed the camera to check on her 10-month-old daughter Emma’s room.

She didn't just walk into her baby's room after hearing a man's voice?

strozykowski··on Show HN: My Desk Chair
My dad is a dentist, and when he updated his equipment in his office, he brought home one of the chairs (without all of the extra attachments). It took 3 moving guys to lift the damn thing, and it sat in our finished basement for half a decade.

It was kind of comfortable, but it was from the 70s (and was a terrible shade of mint green) so it wasn't super ergonomic. It was fun to ride up and down on, though.

strozykowski··on Ask HN: What's the worst you've ever screwed up at work?
Haha! I had to go out and check, and sure enough, there it is in CNET.com's source.

Unless you take that external HD home with you every night and the fire happens to take place in the office overnight.
strozykowski··on I, Glasshole: My Year With Google Glass
I've had Glass since July, and I have found that much of its use in my personal experience comes down to how I feel in any given situation.

I do drive with Glass on, but it is generally sleeping, unless I am asking for directions to a new place. As for restaurants and the like, I feel like there generally is no need for me to wear it, as it just brings up uncomfortable feelings in those around me, and it's easier to just leave it in the car.

Where Glass really shines is in the great outdoors. When I'm taking a walk through my history-filled city, or out playing with my kids, this is where I use Glass the most. Not having to take myself out of the situation to pull my phone out to take a photo, or get a quick snippet of info about a nearby point of interest are the killer features for me.

strozykowski··on New TLDs have arrived
> So, is .Bike for motorcycles or bicycles?

Yes.

strozykowski··on AdBrite will cease operations on Feb 1, 2013
I'm in the same boat (AdSense ban and all). I would be interested to hear if anyone has experience with some alternatives.

It would be interesting to see what the subscription stats look like after a day/week.

Is there anywhere that an interested Android user could sign up to get an email when the Android version is available?

I'd be happy to help beta test, and I'm sure other Android users would be interested in helping out as well.
