This looks like a very nice service and looks to be well designed - I'm not a designer myself, but if I was, I would probably use this. I do have one comment: the spinning background on the homepage is giving me this weird vertigo effect th

This is a Google Chrome extension I wrote that automatically mutes Hulu videos if profanity is detected in the closed captioning... The source code is at https://github.com/jacobwg/clean-hulu (mostly written in Coffeescript). A bookmarkle

Nice site! It would be awesome to have a page for browsing all of the covers sorted by votes (more than just the best/worst 10). Also, it would be great if there was a way to create an account and track what videos you had voted for - ther

I launched two movie/tv related websites: http://checkafilm.com - search for a film by title and see an aggregate review summary about the movie and any content advisories it might have. http://tmfdb.org - a bookmarklet for automaticall

Excellent idea. I like the idea of different content (rather than only different design) for mobile devices - only show what is absolutely necessary. I also really like that this is done with CSS; much cleaner than a mobile-only site, tho

And now I'm wondering if the two comments below the article were purchased by the author... There does seem to be value in Fiverr, though, especially stuff like the "fix my CSS" job. (disclaimer: I was NOT compensated in any way for this c

Conspiracy theory - perhaps someone other than Google is running this campaign in order to trigger Google's automatic censoring of the Chrome download page... Pretty stupid attempt if so as Google is not likely to censor its own pages (cer

WordPress provides both a product that can be customized by non-coders (using existing themes and plugins) and a framework for blogging in the PHP language (by writing your own themes and plugins). It is both product and framework.

Yeah, free plugins are both a blessing and a curse, though the majority of the common WordPress plugins (the common ones) are quite secure and are regularly updated. Obviously you can't install just any plugin without doing some research.

You're going to have security holes with every piece of software, though it is true some software is more secure than others. I personally view having security updates as a plus - it shows that the WordPress team (open source community) sup

WordPress - it has excellent usability as a core product, but its real power comes from the large library of free plugins - there's pretty much always a plugin for everything. You can sign up for a free hosted version of WordPress at http:

All joking aside, that actually sounds like a viable idea... I wonder how large the adoption would be.

Neat! Minor suggestion - link to an example playlist. There's also a minor grammar error in the text ("gives us").

Interesting read, though approaches like this (attempting to blur gender definitions) often seem questionable as they begin to blur the lines between taught and inborn gender definitions, ie it seems that the typical response that this arti

Nice! Just wish there was some kind of score counter...

Care to elaborate on how this works? I couldn't find any about page (and the site's down now). From what I could gather, this looked like "person-who-just-spent-their-fortune on the web". :)

Who else read this as "Unifying the Valve Universe" and got excited about a post to explain exactly how the Portal and Half-life timelines merge? Good article, though.
