Is it? Didn't know. I don't use reddit. Any reason why HN doesn't do it that way?

I bet he did it in a throw-away virtual machine. That thing has spyware written all over it.

Maybe I'm being naive, but this sounds a lot like critical software that, if compromised, could be a danger for our society. You would definitely want that piece of software to remain as secure as possible: open source is definitely the way

Cool site. You should really put overflow: hidden to .sidebar. Man, we should really start to use a few different themes for bootstrap, all new sites are starting to look alike... a lot!

I don't want to be the "yeah, same thing happened to me!" guy, but I had an awful experience with E*trade, back when their stock went down I decided to move some of my money to Bank of america... That wire took about three years to complete

Not to take anyone's side, since I don't know the details, but maybe they suspected the account was using an stolen CC? I know companies tend to aggressively protect credit card holders (specially since rollbacks are so expensive). I'm sure

Trelloapp is pretty intuitive and not bloated at all, might be worth giving it a try. Also there is the app interstate, YC backed.

The web will be a better web when IE6 and IE7 don't need to be supported. Think of all the time that was wasted working to support them. Following Steve Jobs' analogy of saving lives through speeding up boot time a few seconds: how many peo

Sounds like a great thing to A/B test, doesn't it? I would definitely test the different buttons and see what works best!

That's debatable, but its entirely a different point, we are talking here about "rich" at the Bill Gates scale.

The problem is simply that we can't all be rich. We can all be billionaires, but we can't all be rich. The intrinsic limit comes from the fact that wealth itself is relative. Using your example, Microsoft's creation of value to such a large

The idea sounds pretty cool, you should make the "uncertainty" of the purchase clearer. I would also drop the word "preorder" and use a different word. Also you should consider displaying how many purchases more are required for the product

Really? I need to submit a ticket after registering to give it a try? Ok, cool, thanks but, too much work to try it out. Would make more sense to queue me in and limit sessions to 5 minutes or something like that, but that much interaction

They are in Argentina. If you are lucky enough that they will actually allow you to receive the package at all. Just try to buy a Kindle, once it reaches customs they keep it there and there is basically nothing you can do about it.
