I get your point, and it's a valid one. I just hope that Lulz pick their targets wisely, because an all out war on the system will result in system lock-down, which will affect a lot of good people in negative ways, and will also fuel

I find this extremely worrying. Sure, I'm all for fighting the power, but a campaign like this could do a lot to damage our online freedom, e.g. the freedom to pay for things and conduct business online ... it would also result in gover

I'm probably going to get downvoted for this, but in honesty, I can't see this idea working, the problem for me is lack of coverage, and lack of users too - it's a standard chicken-egg thing ... Also, you can search menus by ingredient

Somehow I've a feeling that we're going to soon lose a lot of freedoms that we've previously had online. This further supports the argument that the internet should be 'policed and legislated' - of course this means restricting information

Despite the noble 'Little guy fights back' story. I'm starting to wonder if this will have an overall detrimental effect?, Give wings to Sarkozy's desire to police and control the internet, and overall limit consumer and business confide

Age does matter, but it doesn't mean that you're incapable of running a business. There are plenty of examples of wunderkinds out there who can do the job much better than their elders in every realm of life. But don't be foolish enough t

I'm feeling like this is another 'Buzz', another failed attempt to get social. The proposed idea of sharing stuff with my 'friends and contacts' rings very hollow, since the vast majority of my google contacts are people I've only emaile

Using your own platform with 2 Giants already out in the market is ballsy to say the least. Another way of putting it would be "not very clever". I'm going with the latter here. Unless WebOS is extremely innovative and porting an app fro

Great story ... I also posted on HN in frustration, nearly ready to throw in the towel on my programming career. The resultant feedback completely changed my outlook and I haven't looked back since ... here it is: http://news.ycombinator.

Wow, why? ... To me it's a statement that Airbnb would get someone who cares deeply about their product.

yes, most definitely ... I saw the need for this, and amazingly 3 years later, still do ... whether or not the endeavour is successful, the benefits of DIY'ing it far outweigh the benefits of just paying someone else to do it ...

that's exactly what I did, I decided that nobody was going to build my product but me, so I taught myself Rails, went to developer meetups, and 3 years later I have a nearly finished product and am working full time as a Rails developer .

I guess it depends on your bias, if you're only interested in coding, then you should stay away from marketing/business conferences ... that said, I can relate to the idea that so called 'social media gurus' are snake oil salesmen.

I think the end user gets a lot more with a native app. However a company using a web app effectively gives apple the middle finger. It might be worth considering in the future as current web technologies such as local storage become more
