Second that. You might also want to change your wording on that message. I don't even know what your website does and it's already calling me 'not cool enough'? Sorry, that's an instant negative impact and I'd never return to your site. If

I would suggest that you put this up as a blog post, and submit the link here. It would make for a much better reading experience, especially since your post is quite link-heavy.

It will not happen. At the least not in India. The biggest obstacle in the US would be getting a Visa. In India the biggest obstacle would be the amount of money that goes into the pockets of corrupt officials. Sure, you can easily build a

Also, it would be nice to have a better description of what Snapier does exactly. 'A simple way to automatically sync data between Skype and Facebook'? What kind of data would I want to sync between those two services? I read your blog and

I believe that a lot of the recent articles related to politics also happen to be related to issues which deeply irk the HN community (such as domain seizures, Protect IP act etc.), which is why they haven't been deaded.

While I certainly agree with Jacques that this war of mobile platforms will end with most applications being run off the internet, the reason I still care about iOS/Android/WP7 is that the days of webapp domination over native apps on smart

Well the featured app of the day is sold for free, which means a lot of people will be downloading it. And when the app is sold for free according to Amazon TOS, the developer gets 20% of the list price. So if the volume of downloads is imm

No, but it makes a pretty good story for the media, which will probably result in lots of more negative PR for Sony, which in turn will be something that Sony would worry about.

Last night, I posted this [ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2344594 ], but I guess it flew off the new page before too many people had a look at it. It's about a helpdesk system which works completely through email. If there is substant

To handle cases like I can't get feature Y to work, we could probably have something like a conversation tracker, which tracks all the relevant bits of information the support person asks from the user. Then, the next time another user is h

I agree that this has no place on HN. I am Indian and I'm currently enjoying a wonderful four day weekend courtesy of the festival. The only way this would be useful is if a majority of the folks here at HN have an interest in cultures arou

I don't think it can be done by capturing the middle click, but you could achieve the same effect by changing the script such that the HN submission ID is added as a url fragment id or dummy URL param to the submission link. Then another sc

The best part about this is that you don't have to go find someone to get these notes. If you have a printer, you can just print them out yourself, how many ever you may want. I'm a bit sceptical of all the success stories though. I'm going
