Why is this person being downvoted? Maybe he is being sarcastic, but the site is indeed down at the time of this writing. Just because its a YC funded startup doesn't mean you can't point out its flaws. Come on guys. Edit: To clarify, he wa

Perhaps during query you might want to show "Searching..." instead of "Loading..."? The word "loading" gives me the impression that the site is struggling to process the information and is currently on heavy load. While "Searching" gives me

PDF is better than scribd. At least for me, when either using one of the lightweight PDF-viewers or using Chrome's built-in PDF viewer (absolutely fantastic, very fast and smooth).

I dislike Murdoch (and WSJ) as much as the next guy, but from what I understand, Nicholas Carr has been writing this type of articles all over the place recently (not only on Murdoch's newspapers) to promote his book "The Shallows: What the

Ear massage. Wet your hands with cold water and twist and turn your ear with two finger (not too hard, the idea is to generate blood flow so they get warm. You are not trying to hurt yourself). It jolts my attention for about 20-30 minutes.

You should have your skepticism filter on by default at the same filter rate, regardless of the source of the information. The moment you start micro-managing your filter rate, it defeats the purpose of being skeptic. Be skeptic of everyone
