If you make valuable contributions to the forum on a regular basis, and include an unintrusive link to your site in your signature, you may get many more clicks over time.

Better solution: Stop printing things. If we stop printing things, we won't need to scan them either.

You make some good points. I think there is some niche potential for tablet devices--hospitals, drawing, books (as you mentioned). On the other hand, e-book readers have found success by doing things laptops can't, like lasting for a week

I'm still not convinced that tablets will be popular in the near future. The current paradigm of tablet PCs–make the screen touch sensitive and chop off the keyboard–has major ergonomic and usability problems. How do you hold it for more

Mostly agree. If you don't have capable designers and marketers on your team, you are severely handicapping yourself. Also, while I might take money from an investor who doesn't have experience in these things, I wouldn't take money from on

Well, I think we can close the polls 361 days early. We have a winner for worst idea of 2010...

There's a certain degree subjectivity in any review. That said, I'd have to say that beyond the obvious usability failures, 2Advanced is a rather dreadful website.

I'd have to agree. Releasing early can definitely be a good thing, but it shouldn't come at the expense of quality. Release sooner by narrowing scope and focusing on those core features rather than by cutting corners. Another important con

I'd love to see a lightweight version of Disqus/Intense Debate--they seem so bloated. No branding, avatars, voting, etc...just simple, fast commenting.

given hacker news lacks a search feature, I don't think it's appropriate to point out dupes (unless it's some sort of breaking news that is already appearing in the top/new pages) and searching google for "site:news.ycombinator.com 'diagram

Sure, while browsing the web, you explore and click most of the time, but there are plenty of instances when you need to type: a query into google or a url into the address bar, logging in to websites, commenting on a blog post, respondin

I know the tablet PC is like the dream device of the future, but do people really think these things will be useful? I can think of only couple niche uses: - replacing a notebook for people who like to sketch ideas - replacing a doctor's cl

Quite simply, the purpose a work of art is to exist as art--self-expression that evokes an emotional response from it's audience. The purpose of a design is to to perform a specific practical function. That's not to say that design can't

Andy's thesis, "Creativity is not design," is pretty obvious. I'm not sure anyone ever defined creativity as design. What I think he means is, "Design is not creative," and I think that's pretty short-sighted. Design is not art, it is, howe

I'm guessing the Apple employees who were recommending your product were neither executives nor part of the legal department. I wouldn't expect Joe Smith in customer service to be aware of Apple's trademark policies. Steve could have been
