That's not a new interpretation. It just hasn't got the same airtime because it's not as interesting. I heard this interpretation from a Mexican/Mayan 5 years ago. It's happened before in the Mayan calendar too. It just restarts again if I remember correctly.

Sorry but sexual assault is a very serious crime. Never mind the unusual circumstances of this particular case, your comment is insulting to sexual assault victims as it implies sexual assault is a lesser crime.

The app is a simple one which allows the user to find predicted passes of the ISS and details of the passes. It also allows the user to go into a AR-mode to show overlaid on the device's camera, the path of the pass and the current position of the space station.

As we're on HN I thought you'd appreciate a little challenge. As I've recently read so much about how vulnerable MD5 and SHA1 hashes are I've posted 6 promo codes for the app store below. The first 3 are MD5 hashes and the last 3 are SHA1 hashes. Enjoy!

Tip: Promo codes are all upper case alphanumeric and 12 characters. Post if you crack one to prevent people wasting their time!

No but if you're caught with a hard drive full of pirated material AND the encryption keys for those releases then you're gonna have a hard time in court. The keys need not be government issued to prove you're responsible.

Why must community and business be mutually exclusive? Hint: they're not, and SO is both.

Maybe you could tell us what your app is? I tried looking to your blog without success. If I'd have found it you might have made another sale.

Not to mention they hold a large amount of the market at a critical period for lock-in to their ecosystem. If they can make xbox live provide enough compelling features that you lose when switching platforms then they'll keep the current users for a long time.

> Sure it'll have a 50 year latency, but we could easily stream all of youtube (or the entire internet really) to them

Well Eric Schmidt who's probably in a better position to estimate than most, said that Google estimates the internet is made up of 5 million terabytes.

5 million terabytes / 10gbps = 126.8 years

and I very much doubt 10gbps is even remotely achievable over interstellar distances. I don't what kind of data rates are achievable but I would expect it to be extremely slow relative to Gigabit speeds.

I'm English too but totally support US sites blacking out in opposition to SOPA. It will affect the entire internet if the bill passes and may be used as a template for other countries (Note: I don't think HN blacking out will have much impact so I don't support this particular question)

> Actually IIRC the whole iTunes music store is also disabled when you're on 3G and not Wifi.

you didn't recall correctly (at least not for my carrier).

Looks like great fun. I'm always tempted to have a go at things like this myself when I see reports like this. One day...

One question. Did you choose the video cameras based on size or are did you assess the quality too? I've seen some pathetic 'HD' videos from cheap cameras before but things seem to have progressed a lot over the last couple of years.
