Good idea in theory but I won't sign up to try it out for the first time. You should give a sandbox to play with but to export make a user sign up.

I bought my MBA (top of the line) last week, it is amazing. It does everything I need it to do. When I take out my MBP 15inch now...it feels like a huge brick.

Agreed. Facebook is pretty much the same way. All of these companies are very incestual with hiring practices. If you went to Stanford or Berkley, you're pretty much guaranteed a job if you want it.

I like it. I don't think this will replace my stickies in OSX dashboard...but overall well done.

Little bit boring to be honest. The green color used for the topchan.tv is pretty ugly. I think you should really highlight the 3 steps, put boxes around them or something. Make them the centerpiece to your landing page.

Speaking about the UI/UX only...great job. The site is very slick and easy enough to use. There's some cleaning up you have to do but mostly it works very well.

I don't think it would be like that. HN would ask questions and get insightful information and stories from people who are as passionate about this industry as we are. I do understand what you're saying about what reddit's AMA was originall

I deactivated my Facebook account last week. I have been an active member of facebook since early 2005...right at the beginning. It was awesome at first, I could connect with my friends and see what they were doing, and share photos with pe

I never liked working at coffee shops when I was working for myself. For me the best place to work is at home. Working at home can be very difficult but if you have the discipline and a quiet work space it can be very productive. Definitely

This seems like an awesome idea in concept but I agree with twir...what stops the government from just getting the ISPs to turn off traffic? I would pay $99 for myself and buy each and every one of my friends one of these boxes if the conce
