Here's a very rough mockup that was put together with some brainstorming, just to give an idea of what the first user introduction might be like. http://quarkfactor.com/topiat_example.png

Mahalo is trying to reinvent search by letting people chose the results, and that's not going to work. Using Google, I can manipulate the "machine" to give me precise results. This idea is about finding new things based on things you alrea

I'm not sure what you're asking here-- Netflix doesn't care about anything but movies, and it probably wouldn't be able to recommend movies any better if it knew your musical tastes, or even how your tastes compare to mine. The idea is that

The point of having groups of content is to combine traditionally dissimilar types of content-- movies, music, housewares, etc... For example I can make a group of content called "new living room" and add all of the things that go into my n

Here's an example of how I would use something like this: I want to watch a movie that's similar to Jurassic Park. I can go to the site and type that in. The web application picks apart the constituent pieces of "jurassic park," like "actio

You're forgetting that by using solar power, you're not using fossil fuels anymore. You save an extremely large amount of environmental damage even though the process of producing solar cells might not be very efficient today.

Where does that power come from? Fossil fuels, eventually.

I think the goal of the electric car should not be how fast it charges or how far it goes, but rather... when will the car be able to drive indefinitely off the power of the sun coming through the frame of the car? That should be the seven

tv-links isn't a horrible experience, but the quality is horrible compared to the dvd-rip and hd-rips that are available abundantly on torrent sites.

What ever happened to Shawn Fanning? Nothing. So why is wsj doing an article on him?

That's pretty disturbing. But it tastes soooo good. And actually, I think the blue fin tuna used in sushi is actually not from the "blue fin tuna" that you linked to. But I'm not entirely sure.

"I own every Bob Dylan album ever, but I buy a lot of it on iTunes, because I guess I'm just too lazy to rip it from the CD." Ahh, the wonderful words of a billionaire.

While we're on the issue of the news.yc user interface, here's something that pisses me off every time I view comments: the comment author's name is buried in a sentence-long thing of text, and hard to pick out. Make it more noticeable, ple

are there any requirements to come?

This seems like an extremely futile attempt to fix something that isn't broken. You can already access most properly-managed sites without the www.. This "initiative" is just going to confuse people.

If they require you to activate your email address, it's probably to reduce spam. That, I think, is a very good reason to require registration.

I think the typeface you used is pretty bad, and the line that comes out of the "o" seems unclean when it terminates on the left side; I would suggest you remove the line and dot altogether, and use a thicker, simpler font. Also,

I looked at your blog, and I have to say that I have never seen a page resize like that ever before.

Even if you add all of that information, it's still private until you connect/friend someone. It maintains a walled garden to only people who are in your social arena (school, college, work, area), and that is what this guy is suggesting as

Wow, that's really awesome. Although I think Costco can do a few things to bring their image up to speed (the logo is pretty hideous, the marketing materials are pretty ugly and cliche), this article really makes me respect the company and

I saw the COO of Verizon talking about this on CNBC a few weeks ago. He says that to compete with the iPhone, Verizon has "18 multimedia phones" with picture and messaging packages. But when you go to a Verizon store, and use the phones, t
