MediaTemple.com has $5 domains right now that will be $5 for renewal as well ... not as cheap up front but cheaper over time. Just signup on the bottom of their page, or check out their blog post: http://weblog.mediatemple.net/2010/11/10/

Looks like someone messed up the screenshots ... the iOS 4 page is showing a background picture on the 2nd Gen iPod touch - http://d.pr/bs6s . By the way, the actual page about iOS has been updated with 4.2 info: http://www.apple.com/ios/

And the iPod touch 3rd gen (32/64Gb from late 2009/early 2010) should be able to get it too. Really frustrated they only included the latest devices... Their call, though :)

Right, and that's exactly why I've had some tell me to use we in articles and other copywriting. But it just doesn't really feel appropriate always ... if you're just one guy writing a blog, seems like you should make it sound that way.

Déjà vu ... my Business Writing class in college is actually talking about "you centric" writing right now. Only problem is, everything in the world can't be written in a "you" manner without coming across as spammy or otherwise ill intent

Ah, very good point. We've all experienced situations where this would be true ;)

Thanks ... that looks like the link I needed :) And the quote that (possibly) comes from Mark Twain is great, too: "Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'" Perhaps it's the edit

Of course. I just thought it was funny to point out. No reason to downvote...

Actually, if you thought of something being discussed on HN today in 1843 , then you deserve some recognition for age and incredible foresight.

Flash ads are the whole reason I use FlashBlock on Chrome. I don't mind seeing ads to support sites, but asking me to let Flash hog my CPU just to see your ad is more than I can do. Plus, jumping, animated, and ads that play sounds are mo

FF4b7 is still sower to startup than Chrome for me. They are right, though ... it does feel faster on webapps and rich sites than the previous beta.

I wish it offered combined pricing on any two apps (say Backpack + Highrise) for those who don't want/need all 4 apps...

Great thoughts, and definitely inspiring. Truth is, with everything, start with what you have and grow it. Don't know how to make a website? Get a WordPress.com/Tumblr/Posterous blog, learn little by little, try out some CSS/HTML, then get

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Still, it was the first time I've seen it, and I figured many others that haven't setup a fresh install in a while might be interested to see it. Do you know when it was added to Chrome?

I just installed Chrome 7 stable on a new install of Ubuntu 10.10, and the first time I ran it I was presented with this screen asking me to select a default search engine. Very nice Google's asking it so directly, though I have to assume

I'm not sure for everything, but on iOS 4.1 with my iPod Touch (so no, I don't have a modern mobile phone, but this is basically the same) it's much easier to do the things most people do (Twitter, Facebook, email) than it is on a PC. Plus

Well, then, looks like they may be testing a new theme. Mine looks like this when I'm logged in: http://d.pr/hYJe and http://d.pr/TlLA . Menus are redesigned, fonts look larger throughout much of the interface. But, I just opened it i

With the Software Center, Unity interface, and now a new display server, looks like Ubuntu is shooting for the mainstream OS business. Interesting to see an Linux distro trying so hard to set itself apart.
