I want to invest in your startup. Sounds like a great opportunity, definitely profits from day one.

I think you can maybe even make the argument that it doesn't matter if he agrees, if he's going against the HIG or even established standards then he's wrong about it.

Yeah, because lord knows that a tiny minuscule slice of the world known as Instapaper users couldn't view a 3rd tier Apple rumors site for a few hours is maybe the worst thing to ever happen to the Internet ever.

212 PPI could be revolutionary in viewing non-text documents on an e-ink screen. The current Kindle is basically unusable for PDFs unless you have a DX. It might still be too low of a DPI, but it has to be a major improvement and right now

The moral of this blog post seems to be that most tech companies' execs are all as big of tools as this gal. Okay. So I'm supposed to somehow trust someone's company that's trying to be some fake Silicon Valley star effer? I dunno man. Mayb

You might want to try reading posts before commenting. I was clearly pointing towards startup time and general app respnsiveness, not actual speed browsing websites. But thanks for saying please.

This theme is really, really good. I like the elimination of the stupid header images that no one used and the greater focus on type and large images. This theme, more than the other twenties is really a good starter. It comes with all the

Oh man, I'm pretty sure I would have had an aneurysm if that were true.

If they did finally solve this, I might be nearly back to using FF as a primary. With Chrome I have had more and more problems with certain sites (not all legacy either) the last few months. Also, I've been impressed with the improvements i

You have to be down for any company's culture to have much success there. I agree that this seems stupid, but Microsoft also is far larger than any company I'd probably work for. There's a lot of other companies that I wouldn't work for eit

Patents don't kill other products, products do. I could make a patent for a magical frosting generator cannon but until it's on the shelves in a way affordable to consumers, who cares? I'm starting to realize more and more that my annoyance

While I do at least take a peek at IE7, I usually insert a messages on IE6 & 7 users simply telling them to upgrade their browser rather than debug. The only people who are unable to upgrade their browsers are generally gov't types. Eve

Define "new release," because Quicksilver's core app and plugins are being updated rather frequently now for bugfixes. As far as adding new functionality, that might be right but what else do you need core QS to do? It would be nice to have

The fact that settings are in a text file that I can easily sync is a GOOD thing. I don't have to rely on some godawful third party service to sync settings, I can just export them to Dropbox or throw them on a Git repo. This is one of the

Ah, should have done the math. You're right, it's less impact that it seems at first.

WOW. I was expecting something dumb but this is next level dumb. You're basically forcing a 7 character password since I already know one of them is one of those three special characters. Then you've just given me like 5 more rules that lim

People like to pimp their own blogs on here, which is basically only a half step up from liking your own posts on Facebook.

If anything, this is should be kind of a relief to Kickstarter users since people have PLENTY of time to discover these scam projects before payment is distributed.

Thanks! I will try #1 and see if that helps. #2 does not work for me. I've tried using night mode on Kindle and Stanza and I simply can't read it well. It doesn't feel like I can track the text. #3 could definitely have an effect, since oft

I can't explain why, I can only tell you that reading on an iPad literally makes me sick after about an hour. I'm guessing something to do with the lack of resolution compared to paper or Kindle.

Yes, but this is something that's accessible to the masses. The first thing that pops to mind is the Kash Maxwell's Hot Dog Cart where the fellas just wanted to raise 3 and a half grand and get some exposure. The video was hilarious, and yo

My favorite posts on HN are when people discuss why they downvoted people. There should be some sort of auto downvote algorithm for posts that begin with that.

That's two posts in a row that began with a disclaimer to avoid downvotes. Not that I blame you since I'll probably be downvoted for pointing that out. Ahhhhhhhh HN. You actually have a very good point about not being able to remove the Mac

If you're using a recruitment firm, that's fair game although I'm glad the one I've used from time to time asked me to do it myself and not try to be sneaky about what they are doing on the backend. It makes the whole dealings with them way

This is what happens when you give minimum wage idiots that would normally be working at McDonalds fake badges and power. I know for a fact there are a few good, knowledgeable, professional TSA people at every airport, but the majority of t

Hold on, who are you to judge people on that? If someone wants to drink and play video games all day on their fifth day, then good for them! If they are producing quality work, then what does it matter? There is this obsession with producti

People that make projects using pip need to explain how to install pip. It doesn't come with Mac or Ubuntu by default. I know what the package is for Ubuntu but Mac, I have no idea. EDIT: after 5 minutes of Googling since "PIP" is a common
