I believe the gist of the article is about how IT has always been (and is always going to be) data-centric as opposed to solution-centric, and the guy who understands how to process one petabyte in one nanosecond has a better chance of surv

Off-topic: has anyone on HN spent time cataloguing either good UX choices or bad UX choices in today's web? I'm slowly beginning to take interest in user experience design (I'm a backend developer).

I don't have Facebook. Does Airtime provide alternative ways to sign up, and if not, why not?

It's more an ethical question than anything else. Do you want to build your fortunes on the invasion of other people's privacies? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

I just tried the tool and find it useful. It can be made more powerful by coupling it with the Linux utility wmctrl.
