Over the last six months, I have been traveling back and forth to beijing for 2.5 months at a time. When in beijing, I don't have a phone, let-a-lone a smart phone. The one thing I have noticed is that I used to go to my phone anytime the

Good content is exactly why hacker news needs search. There is a ton of info that would be useful to people after one day. Which is about as long as it stays on the homepage. If content is your number one priority giving people a search box

The network would the least of a startups problem challenging google. This has been one of the arguments for net neutrality and it doesn't make sense. 1.) No one has this issue now and I don't see much competition from any other than micros

If I had found the iphone... I would have walked around SFO asking people if they lost an iPhone prototype. Starting on Market Street and working my way down to San Jose. Being that the iPhone is very popular, lots of people would have want

I completely agree with the P2P approach, for sometime I was thinking about P2P as a means to deliver a social network for families. Everyones graph and data would be under their control and "local" to just those that needed it. The one key

Break it up into what? Google has lots of projects but they have a limited product (money making things) portfolio. I don't think many their products would be viable as seperate units. The privacy policy that people don't like is easy to so

"I have been afraid to start my own side projects, out of fear that I won't be able to contend with what other people can do" Why do you care? Taking some one else's code and rewriting is a great way to learn. First, you don't need your ow

I would say that Techcrunch and the like have more to lose from Foursquare selling to Yahoo!. They were probably counting on three more years of extensive "Twitter" like coverage to fill their pages. Once Yahoo! or another big company buys

Disclaimer -- I am not an iPhone developer, why? Two reasons: 1.) I don't own a Mac and 2.) I don't know objective-c. Even though I can't build iPhone applications, to me this ban makes sense for the following reasons: 1.) Limits the total

I agree, it seems that the deadpost and comments system is analogous to TV broadcasters not showing people running naked across the field to discourage the repeation such actions. It doesn't work there and it really doesn't work here. I fi

Chatroulette is by far the most useless thing that has been created on the Internet. I wish I could have the memories of using it erased from my brain, and the electricity it takes to run the site and the computers connected to it back as w

This is the problem I see with the cross-domain requests; it puts the implementation change on the service provider rather than the app provider. If I was building an application using PHP I don't need to get twitter to change their server

Over the last two years, I have spent about $700 dollars (3x the cost of my iPhone) on 4 different pairs of in-ear headphones that have broken. Wires, connections, shocking my ears have all been part of the experience. Now for the last week

That maybe true, but everytime I see a video on silver light it always better than flash videos. It maybe that the users of silverlight understand; video, lighting, sound and encoding better, or just care more about what it looks like.

Something simple - Add margin to the left side. It is very hard to read with the text up against the edge of the browser. It would be good to understand the location of the server(s) doing the monitoring.
