I'm not going to quit, I'm connected to my family on there. I just don't post stuff there, except for some family pictures and videos, which I can do from iPhoto. I post everything to my tumblr blog which reposts it on Facebook and Twitter

Adobe is a great software company. They are a corporate software company and they do things that software companies do because they have investors to care for. Microsoft, Google, Apple (more of a software company than a hardware wouldn't yo

When I ever see such a witty statement, I chuckle, and then I downvote. I think our brains are somehow hardwired to click upvote buttons when something makes us laugh even though it contributes nothing else. I don't know if the upvotes of w

It makes me a little angry really. There are so many liars and people who spin things, political blogs, "opinion shows" on television. It's just outright lies. People are not telling the truth and I find it to be one of the most disgusting

I would not call this article "excellent." His event handler doesn't use a closure and the first example is simply an object literal.

Uh, his handler could do with a closure.

It was ridiculous. If someone wants to encourage reflection they should simply say that instead of inundate their writing with unnecessary words. Words are meant to convey information, and what interests me as a reader are not thoughtful co

Interesting that you would call it the most successful, given that the general consensus on tech blogs (whatever that's worth) is that it was a talent acquisition/distress sale. I think the founder's statement came across as an unhappy endi

I get that he went from skeptical to impressed with the book, but he never explained why. What's so impressive about this book? That example image did not really make any sense to me. Given that I don't really understand why the book is so

Did Yahoo ever integrate anything with Flickr in a way that justified the acquisition? I realize they have a little Flickr widget on their homepage, but man they have the world's catalogue of amazing images and they really haven't done anyt

Indeed, concise it wasn't. So much filler text such as "With this in mind," "To illustrate," This: "One might speculate that people play Farmville precisely because they invest physical effort and in-game profit into each harvest." could ha

That is pretty cool and creative. One thing though is that you have more markup that does nothing and is only for the purpose of display. You couldn't add your spotlight effect to css zen garden, but you could possibly add the CSS3 spotligh

Because it shows up on HN more than once a day. Because I use Apple products. Because I create apps. This Satire app rejection made the New York Times It's no longer just an Arrington rant anymore.

Right, I wasn't trying to take anything away from the guy. He's obviously a very successful individual. I know I've created some terrible stuff.

Still, that's a really terrible user interface. Engineers at least can create something of the quality of GNU's site or the Linux Kernel site. And the markup on those early Zuckerman pages has mix-matched casing. Looks like a copy paste job

The only thing I learned from this is that if you won a pulitzer prize for your satire you can resubmit your satire app. Just like if you're Sports Illustrated you can have an app with girls in bikinis. It's just ugly to watch this hypocris

I'm feeling an uncanny valley kind of response when I see this thing. It mostly looks adorable and appears emotive but it's not real. Imagine replacing your dog or cat with such a thing. Your dog actually cares about you and maybe your cat

I don't think I've ever read about a founder who doesn't care about their idea or wasn't driven to make it a viable business.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme where earlier investors continue to dupe later investors. Eventually it's my 401k that loses out when all of this blows up when you run out of investors. I hate the stockmarket. If you want to make money, sell a

Thing that always bothered me about Ning was there no way to browse networks. At least I never saw such a thing, just featured networks and search.

You shouldn't have accepted companies that you couldn't afford to pay. You shouldn't have asked them to move to a different country. Very reckless and irresponsible and to then attack the poster as "twisting the truth" about tiny details se

I'm not sure if I'm willing to commit to a button that only serves as a bookmark. Other extensions handle this by using the options page for such a page. Button spam is a serious problem on Chrome, everyone wants to be a browser action when

I think you should make it a page action instead of a browser action because there is no reason for it to appear unless I'm on wikipedia. http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/pageAction.html Button space on chrome is valuable real est
