Interesting idea but the URL is hard to communicate to someone in real life. Also it just looks like the top stories are all from Hacker News. Think about why would someone go to your site rather than the source (HN)? What makes you differe

The ultimate defense for slander and libel is truth. As long as Verizon tells the truth, they won't be liable for any damages done to AT&T. However, those damages don't include what AT&T is doing to itself by not investing enough in

I love your use of <weak> there. I know it's a joke, but I would find it useful as a real HTML tag. There are certain things on the page that are less important than a regular <p> or <li>. It would be nice to add som

I agree. If you want something to stand out in a long paragraph, what would you use? <span class="highlight">? I'd much rather use <strong>.

It depends on how fast Typekit's server responds. I'm sure it is extra slow today. I did some unofficial benchmarks on the service while it was still in beta: http://iloveusability.com/usability-review/typekit/ It'll be interesting to see

Ideas are nothing without actually making it happen, even the really great ones. If it were as easy as just coming up with the idea, everyone would do it.

Great positive outlook on the rewards of entrepreneurship when the media is constantly droning on about the negative effects of the recession. I too am looking forward to seeing where we'll be in 10 years time.

I knew you were from Pittsburgh as soon as I saw your name! Interesting product, but your "How it works" page would be more comprehensible with a diagram or a flow chart. This would be an excellent product if you need a short code, but $0.0

This is exactly the kind of attitude I like to see. Rather than argue why a certain framework or language is better, I'd rather reflect on how much things have changed. I remember 5 years ago programming in object oriented PHP. I'm much hap

Be careful with the word 'lazy.' This statement is implying 'lazy' is not willing to work hard. Laziness in my book is only useful when you are deciding to do less by eliminating everything not absolutely necessary (cutting the fluff).

Government spending does improve the economy, but not as much as tax cuts do. If you give money back to the market, it is guaranteed to be spent efficiently. Government spending involves special interests (spending that benefits a small amo

Perfect! Now no one will see me when I send my "Dear Penthouse" letters... In all seriousness, this is a good idea, but you might be cutting yourself short on the profits. 6 cents a letter for probably 5 minutes worth of work? I think you s

Do you need ads on there right away? I think you should try to build up some readers and contributors first. When I see ads on a brand new site, I really question their motives. It's fine to monetize your site, but wait as long as possible

I don't see what's wrong with showing off your product on your homepage. Even if you have a service, have a sexy screenshot and say why it will benefit the viewer ("It will increase your conversion rate by 5%" or "Improve your customer serv

Let me get this straight. You're making fun of your early adopters, the ones who tried your product and gave their honest feedback. These are the ones you want talking about your product, getting TV stations behind it. Making fun of them is
