I am really happy that Apple did this. There are multiple developers who are trying to do exactly what Khalid is doing with copyright infringement and taking advantage of dumb/stupid people (surprisingly some of his apps were in top 100 with 5 copied pictures @ $4.99).

This will definitely give a sigh of relief to legitimate developers.

Be careful about this, I have personally had a (as in one) horrid experience, YMMV. (I've done this 3 times, and yes it works however I fasted for a full 16-17 hours.)

Back story: I irresponsibly slept for 2-3 weeks. Racking up a sleep debt of sometimes 4 hours per night. So by the time that I decided to reset my schedule I was about 24 hours+ in sleep debt. Needless to say I used this exact method, I didn't eat for 16 hours before, and I had to get up a 7 so I stopped eating around 3PM. This was a bad idea, I didn't have a very filling lunch, and after a while if you've done this before you note that not eating makes you very very very sleepy. I left work around 5:15. I fell asleep around 5:30, unfortunately I was still driving at the time. The car veered into the oncomming lane (it was empty) and went up the curb, on which was a small hill. I was still asleep when this happened, and then the car went up so far it couldn't sustain, and it flipped back into my lane (this happened at 40-50 MPH). Needless to say I awoke scared shitless as I was plummeting towards the ground and my airbags were deploying.

I escaped the accident with just some cuts on my hand from the shattered glass from the side windows. My car was totaled. The officer who came on site gave me a 200$ ticket. My father took me to the hospital, where I was given a CAT scan and everything checked out fine. However I had no way of getting to work. The car wasn't worth much it was an 11 year old Ford Escort Coup. Blue book value was around $4,000. The moral of the story is, be thankful for what you have, sleep responsibly and take care of yourself.

The accident was last Monday.

Why I don't find HN useful anymore

Hey, Apple actually leveraged their "we run this market" position in a positive way. Props.

So can we get Google Voice now?

Epic MBA WTF.

This is pure whining. If you don't like the articles on HN

1. upvote articles you like

2. Submit more articles you like

You have submitted just 3 stories to HN (excluding this) http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=dag and frankly the story about warren buffet is not HN material and the fashion article is also not hard core HN material.So you want others to find articles you like and upvote them and not do the work yourself.

I would have given a point by point rebuttal of how many stories you have marked as insignificant was in fact interesting but it seems like you have already made up your mind. So good luck. Try joining/making another community

Perhaps you mean the straw that broke the camel's back?
