   Here is some tinfoil for you... Assuming they have a back-door API - this could be a freaking BOON for intelligence gathering arms that are seeking to know the surrounds of anti establishment types. Further - wait until you apply spatial mo

   I have nothing but respect for Jack, with the interview he recently had where he spoke about square and twitter - he really is an interesting person. I would love to work with him some day.

   One site I used to look at daily was http://linuxhomepage.com/ I would like something like this... but with the ability to drill down into comments rather than jumping to the actual site. BTW - what did you learn to build this? Was it don

   BW is basically zero. I am looking for a development/tutorial machine that is simply accessible from anywhere. Something I can SSH - would be great to RDP to it so I can have a rails dev box with CLI IDE and a browser.

   Had a thought: I am a bit on forum overload right now and just clicked through to see some comments on HubSki and saw the format was very Reddit-esque - which is great. However then I realized... hmmm I dont have enough hours in the day to

   Fantastic. I am in a very similar situation, minus having something to show yet. So the content currently shown on HubSki came from where? Users/Yourself submitted it? A UI note, the color scheme for me is really tough on the eyes... far to

    I'm always intrigued by services that rely on an infrastructure layer you don't control. For example - you are betting that, say, AWS will put in both the best of breed hardware for your particular service - and that also they will manage i

    I think that Square is an exceptional business enabled by a novel piece of hardware, their headphone jack card reader. It would seem - then, that the card reader and payment service could actually be seen as a platform play. Platforms are t

    I have been watching documentaries recently of the Chernobyl cleanup - it is stunning. The bravery of the soldiers(or ignorance) is amazing. The fact that they were called "Liquidators" and "BioRobots" is very interesting. It is also intere

    Well, it looks like it was a false rumor - but my point was that if Reddit started a users fund - they could get a portion of the % that CN was seeking to pimp out for $

    Imagine hooking this up as a caller ID of sorts, you get an email, a text or a call from someone - and your engine goes and crawls all your social networks and contacts and pulls up whatever relational info it can find on the person. Presen

    You may be right, however one advantage of this method is that any messages and files are seen as exactly the same: a secure truecrypt encrypted file transfer. No differentiation between a txt or file...
