I think you nailed it. Essentially, what they are up to is to automate the content production, because that could make them (not those journalists) rich. Demand Media did it with how-to articles using SEO, now these guys wants to do that wi

I understand the article appeal to the would be entrepreneurs, but still, I feel somehow warped "marketers" thinking behind it, something I would call a disrespect or disdain towards an actual work. For example, I have been working in a tea

I use this as well, but I wish someone would do a chrome extension which allows to apply Readability without needed additional click (for example they could display a tiny clickable icon behind every link, which will open the article in Rea

Why downvote me? I was asking if the website flipping is profitable in the Polish internet...since author says he is from Poland.

As I think about it now, it seems to me that the author is into something here. Everyone cries that this is attack of the freedom of expression, while it is actually not. It is just an attack to automated content hosting like Youtube. Reall

Yes, exactly. We hear WooThemes has a great bussiness, but I doubt maintaning such a site is a passive income...it must be lotta work to do it. In my humble opinion, passive income is for example when you developed a set of websites, with s

But, doesn't Demand only occupy one slot in search engines result pages for a certain keyword search? Even if Demand would create billions of articles, one for each conceivable search term, other nine spots in first 10 search results are st

This actually does NOT work for me. I try it sometimes in the weekend, I sleep as long as my body "tells me", but then I get up at 9am and feel totally tired. I feel much better when I set my alarm clock to get up early.

I can recommend Evernote, it's great for notetaking. I'd also like to correct some inaccuracies in the article, for people who don't know the software: - if there isn't a network connection, that isn't a fail. You can use native client in o

Google will ultimately build a self-sustained ad distribution platform. ;-) Let's imagine, company which will not depend on any other company. Maybe one day they will buy some small country and became even independent from U.S. government.

Maybe unrelated, I just want to point out that what I don't like about Disqus is not it's speed, but that the whole display of their stuff is very cluttered.

Hmm...anyway, they claim that the last post was made on November 18, 2009. I don't consider that to be an inactive account... I don't like what tumblr did here. Now it means, that if I subscribe to them and don't post something for 3 months

I consider the Chrome to be the best browser (I use Windows XP) since version Beta 4, when extensions support was added. I switched from Firefox, mostly because it is considerably slower. As I see it, Chrome just out-innovated FF.

Yes, it surely is a Facebook competitor. At first glance, it looks to me like a Friendfeed inserted into a GMail - which I see like a simple, yet brilliant idea.

I also switched since version 4 beta, which I already considered to be better than firefox. Apart from the browser speed itself, what I also like is the innovation speed. Simple, Google is an expert in creating "internet software", and Mozi

Exactly. So what to buy? I currently own a netbook, and while I like the device, for longer ebook reading and surfing, having the keyboard part is impractical. And I don't want Kindle, since I do a lot of reading in the dark room, and don'

I don't own any Apple product, but I would like to have something like this, especially for ebook reading, and then web surfing/checking emails. I have been using netbook for that, which is quite OK, but something more practical without the

Google probably is not scared, but what I found out, unexpectedly, that Google's services are indispensable less and less for me. In the past decade, Google search had been essential for my internet life. But in the last months, when I was

The article suggest that the Kindle business is a big money-loser so far? That surprised me. Why it should be a money-loser, when the Kindle itself is rather expensive and the e-book copies cost virtually nothing(?)

OK, you are right. I didn't want to encourage anyone to post copyrighted material here in full (although I don't see much difference between copying it and provide a google trick, but that's not important.) So far so good, if many HN member

For normal usage like regular reading, I would agree with you, and also, it was not me who downmoded this comment. But this is a special occasion - someone brought the link to this article to our community here to discuss, so naturally I wa

Not all of them, of course. Only in special cases when it is necessary, like this one...otherwise, how can we have a discussion about it when we can't read it?

But you don't see much of WM there. There is one software layer above WM, HTC Sense.

I might be wrong, but it seems to me that Google just want that more people will use internet, and for longer time. That way, their ads will gain more exposure.

I would recommend neither of the three phones mentioned, but HTC HD2...in my subjective opinion, having the 4.3" screen, with other things being similar, could make it a best option. If you are from USA, I suggest you wait for it.

I use Evernote for todo management. For me, the essential feature is, that the todo application is the same as the knowledge management (or notetaking) application. For example, the todo might be "Fix the bug #1234". In Evernote, this will
