I fully understand the idea of using peer to peer keeping costs down etc.. my review was just from a users POV. When using the service to quickly send a file to a coworker or customer I would not expect them to download a 'downloader' to ge

My thoughts: 1. I opened the web site and said ah, this looks pretty cool, I installed the software and thought, eah.. okay I'll install it even though I really don't want to install anything. 2. Upload was simple after signup.. I understan

Scott - I'm sorry you feel this was a 'leech' post. The fact is I don't have any RSS feeds and was actively seeking great feeds to subscribe to that meet the interests of readers of HN. HN followers I assume have similar interests given t

Thanks for the input, we have thought about going down that path with more of a static landing page something like a 'portfolio| blog | contact' format that would also address the load issues... We'd love to find a designer to help with th

I'm going to say a startup is something that can satisfy some formula that takes into account a set of attributes like, size of the company in terms of employees, revenue, age, users, etc... If the result is below some threshold then we ca

Google has added the +1 option to all their search requests / results, I'm sure if the performance was such an issue they would of found a way to fix it as it would degrade their page load times, granted I'm sure it's not the same 'exact' c

Looks like a great product, I do have to agree the video did freak me out a bit. I've worked for mid to small businesses in the past and this could integrate great with them, yet the missing part if you want daily users of your system you n

Actually it's a neat idea. I was skeptical while reading the description but I used it quick and it all came together. I like the non user account based setup, and the idea is great, have a firefox plugin so I can save my bookmarks into it

Being a developer I've worked closely with lots of other developers, and been on both sides of this equation; Sometimes I'm the 'normal guy' and sometimes I'm the 'rock star' depending who I'm sitting with. As the 'normal guy' I observe wha

I've actually been thinking the same thing over the past few days after I joined HN. I even asked a few people in other industries what types of 'geek' sites do they read, and where they keep up with the latest things...

Tempurpedic. With that said let me add my story. I'm a 30 year old male, and consider myself in good shape. We had a generic $600 mattress before we got our expensive tempurpedic and I had constant back pain after a few years of sleeping o
