Didn't everyone know how awesome Inception was going to be the moment it was announced? Though I agree with some of his points, I don't know where his evidence is coming from. Another thing to point out is that it's really hard nowadays to

I concur. I'm a big fan of Ohanian and what he's trying to do with Hipmunk, but as of now there is no disruption, more like a cult following. One thing to point out on their efforts is that they managed to work out a deal with AA while AA r

Yeah, the $200 was a major blocker for me. As a student, I just want to make silly free game apps. $200 for $0 income? Well that's certainly not appealing. On the other side, don't they not take any cut of your income from their app store?

In my experience the spare laptop + Boxee + Netflix experience has been awful and I instead just go the spare laptop + Netflix through the browser route. If the D-Link hardware Netflix experience is as responsive as the browser experience,

I would assume that though this thought may come up, it's more likely considering the positive nature of 1000Memories that they don't run into such philosophical problems. The site, to me, is more of a post-mourn/grief period where one reme

Awesome work guys! I really hope this type of UI becomes more widespread. On a side note, I've always thought the guys over at www.glyde.com execute it quite well.

Great site, though things are running a little sluggish for me. The homepage took a good ~30 second to load for me.

the ign.com redesign was very well welcomed. slightly irrelevant, but an example of accepted redesign. this actually works on a tablet but feels like an app. in the browser, the experience is quite horrendous and slow. i have to mouse wheel

What I would like is tracking information that can estimate a better window of delivery. For example, I am currently receiving a TV from UPS. I have to be at home to sign it. But, I have work. I'm not going to take an entire day off. But, t

I think so, for financial reasons. AA cut themselves out to cut costs. Orbitz and other similar services were (from what I heard) overcharging AA for referral costs. Naturally, I think Hipmunk and AA simply have a deal that won't really hu

I find the article to be slightly contradictory. There's certainly a lot of potential in Qwiki. Visual presentation of data is a hard problem to solve and I think Qwiki's current slew of examples many can agree are quite nice. In that case,

$7k a year would be impossible for me and most other people. My rent alone is $12k/year. But, say to be frugal, and this isn't my current situation be what I imagine would be the bare minimum: $400/mo rent, $100/mo car insurance, $30/week i

Agree especially to the last line. Being the only person in my group of friends in the 60-70K category while they're in the sub 40K category keeps me on a college budget. Cheap dates, happy hour, home cooking, take-out, etc.

I would be curious to know which two Blu-Ray players the author purchased. Personally, having a PS3 has made my Blu-Ray experience rather flawless. I haven't had a single issue. Great picture quality from Blu-rated films on the AVS forums.

Originally, but AOL never expanded on it. A profile was like a text box and that's it. As for AIM, everyone I know that used to use it still do. I don't think that's changed very much other than that people now use web based clients to chat
