This happened yesterday: American mining company Molycorp has bought up a 90.023 share in Estonia's rare earth metals producer AS Silmet, taking control of one of very few sources of the much-sought materials outside China. http://news.err

I noticed that when you push blades out, some stay in locked position longer than the others. Start from 8 o'clock and keep going clockwise, very, very fast.

The author should've at least defined what kind of design was he talking about. Almost every person is a designer on daily basis, when we are cleaning our rooms, preparing a dish, or even when we are communicating with our peers. Unless we

I'm glad these guys didn't base their business idea on not primarily concentrating on customers who won't even have a chance to pay their loans from the beginning. Here in Estonia, some entrepreneurs thought it was nice to mix up text-ing f

Wired has produced a good article how little connected Russians actually were at this time. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1.04/russnet_pr.html

You may be correct, but aside from wasting 2 weeks to plan the site, 2 weeks to the design the site, and another month to build that site, I don't particularly feel any other regrets as looking from mine point of view, there isn't anything

I guess even Google would be pissed if an investment of 125M was to be flushed down the toilet. Also, I'm pretty sure they had far-reaching strategy right from the beginning, and had prepared themselves for such issues that might eventually

I had an idea of building a similar dueling site using memes. Actually, I even designed and built the site, but decided to ditch the project it just before paying for a domain. The reason? I didn't want to turn into that guy who runs lolcat

Burma's internet use is almost non-existant. OpenNet Initiative says only 0.2% [1] out of population of 55M are internet users. I'd rather be making a comparison towards North Korea, than to Egypt, where 24.3% [2] of the population is using

I am someone who has got a foot in both of these worlds. Though, I code slowly and I can't really draw either. IMHO, designers don't usually feel any importance of open-source projects because most of them/us are used to things that are aes

Seems as if it isn't that hard to bypass the "trial" period of HN. In addition to minimum karma requirement, applying 3 months of newbie time would probably be somewhat helpful as well. If the user has earned his badge of negative voting af

I have had my Public Folder disabled twice after sharing few non-copyrighted music sets to reddit's underground. I don't think they really care about copyright, since I did in fact have copyrighted music in my Dropbox as well that I shared

Apple TV comes to my mind... The Israelis probably did see far more wider uses for this technology, but it seems to me Microsoft just outbid the others and then marketed this only as a game controller. Though, I wouldn't be too surprised if

Do you know when and if that so called "Non-Profit" Garage48 would be coming up? I'd be happy to participate. However, I don't know anyone who is going to these events. Would this be limiting anything?

I can't see yours either. (not sure if you had set one, though, could be a bug?) I'll just throw it out then: andrus@epic.ee Let me know which communication method would you prefer, so I can reply to you with Skype or MSN Live initials.

Sure. What do you have in mind?

Thanks, I will check the place out.

I guess I should've done a bit more home-work before turning to HN. Thank you for the great advice, this is exactly what I'm going to do.

When designing web, I usually start with simple pen and paper for conceptualizing, then move on to Photoshop, and eventually to HTML/CSS or Flash. In iPad design, however, I would be willing to learn the builder to the point where I can use

As a matter of fact, I am at this point unfamiliar with any of these tools you mentioned above so your impression was correct. I'm pretty green in this field (other than the fact I've been bashing at design of various iPad's apps for quite

Yes, as long as it features a GUI. I don't own an Android device myself, but this seems like a neat opportunity nevertheless.

I'm not familiar with the pricing trends in the iPad scene, however, when I am dealing with my clients in web/graphics design, I've been billing for 15-30USD per hour. I would be producing the design files that a developer could use and put

I've been having that corporate vs self-funding dilemma for a while now. I am part designer, part entrepreneur, part programmer. I enjoy doing all these activities, and I do them with desire. I have an idea which would improve designers l
