Hulu is another one of those great ideas that lost its track. I am not going to pay money to watch ad-sponsored show. I don't even watch freemium Hulu when they have ads.

Can we please try to avoid multiple version of the same topic. We have a Google official link on the front page right now do we need to have a "TechCrunch Version" of _every_single_ news release out there? Flagged.

OK, I misread you.

HackerMonthly is repackaging several articles under a unified name. He is also putting ads on the magazine and later selling them after the first couple of issues. Not getting permission would have been both legally questionale and a dick t

I guess they should have never done, gmail, chrome, search, advertising, mobile OS because someone else have done it already. As long as they are pushing things one step farther I have no problem with them entering existing or even saturate

Just an observation. How often does Mike's collaboration with someone ends up in flames?

TechCrunch is dead, but it still pops up on HackerNews.

What myspace did was a horrible implementation of customization and community features. It was an eyesore. They might have cleaned up some of their act now, but its too little too late. Tumblr is more like blog+facebook+twitter, made ridicu

I predict that as soon as facebook/twitter popularity will start to go down these same people will be some of the first to jump ship. I don't think this has much to do with bureaucracy.

People leaving for potential higher pay (IPO) says more about those people than Google not being an interesting place to work at. Nothing that facebook has recently done that suggest to me that facebook might be more interesting place to w

> Also IMHO, using "flashblock" is disrespectful of other people's work. If a website bothers you so much, stop visiting it and go somewhere else. It's kind of like voting with your wallet and it works ;) I could use the same silly reas

I have used opera and continue to try every single beta and alpha released every other month. Opera does have a small memory footprint and better memory management overall; but what does that has to do with flash memory leaking/hogging prob

Its not a common problem with Chrome. Its a common problem with someone who uses a browser like an idiot. Using a dev build of a browser, then opening 100s(?) of tabs, not using a flashblock. I don't care which browser you use, if you have

Wave was a horrible implementation of a decent idea. For the longest time it felt like they did absolutely no work on the wave project (at least not from the users perspective). I think the main problem with wave was that it wasn't solving

Since I never worked for FB or google I can only make a guess. People who are leaving for Facebook from Google (or any other company) are doing so not because they think facebook has something better to offer than Google in terms of workin

Looks like someone with a brain finally took charge of Digg. Also how common is it to offer to find jobs for people being layed off?

You know, if you asked me this 2-3 years ago, I would have said definitely no. But they have been mostly (they were few incidents) off-hand. I honestly don't see most other company doing it. If it weren't for the link at the bottom of the p

Ok, I think I know what happened here. Overwhelming large number of HNers are atheists (according to recent polls), including me. But that alone should not be a reason to downvote a comment about religious beliefs, just because we don't agr
