Yes, sorry about that. I fessed up my repro when setting up on github. http://github.com/markoconnor/cells/blob/master/minds/benmar... is now the correct version, quite entertaining to watch.

This is what I thought the article was when reading the title. It totally should be; how hard could it be to hack something together and run it on appengine?

Ok, I'll bite. I challenge you to make an owl video site that makes $1 a day and post the link and revenue here. Ditto for an AVI to MP4 desktop converter. Ditto for the iPhone app site. Ditto for the annotated bible. Ditto for the file upl

I think it's more like a traditional trial model than freemium - the real benefit of your service is its convenience, not the ability to send letters at all. To benefit from the convenience you need to be sending more than two letters a mon

You can run python on windows mobile; I even found some kind of IDLE version for it - there's a bunch of links here: http://www.awaretek.com/pymo.html#win I thought it was pretty good, but typing symbols was a pain. I wrote some twitter d

I hadn't seen it either, although after a few minutes of playing around with it I can't help but think it'd be more useful if following a node included the context of the original search - as it is it's very hard to narrow down on anything,

You might want to try naming submissions like this as: "Ask HN: Review my improved Mail.app search algorithm", or "Tell HN: I made Mail.app better!" On the other hand, I'm new here, so what do I know? :-) Great looking site btw, although I'
