Me too, I'd like to see a block list that only blocked annoying ads. I actually blogged about annoying advertising here: http://posterous.richardcunningham.co.uk/the-problem-with-on...

I would imagine they already have a much more comprehensive list anyway.

by rythie 16y ago
I agree but it's going to take a lot longer and require different solutions to the ones they have already developed.

Though I expect the solutions aren't the same as in the west. I think at least one of the reasons that Google is in several countries is to cover support in many timezones (from talking to them) but the timezones in that area are already we

Based on your previous postings, your based in London? If so, I'd suggest going to one of the several events aimed at startups in London (e.g. the Techcrunch Europe events). There are always lots of companies looking to hire people when I g

I think the worry is that we are already locked in and Facebook will turn into a Microsoft type company we'll be stuck with a system where it's very hard for anyone to compete effectively and innovate. You have to least have an account to f

They wouldn't really need to maintain the OS stuff, the HTML is not changing for it really. In contrast the HTML on the web is changing very quickly and therefore the browser needs frequent updates to keep up.

I think actually it is good for families as it is more suited to the living room and is therefore more social.

It's a pity that browsers couldn't just tell you the length of the part in the header of each part.

They could have chucked this into a separate library, they didn't have to link it to the same one that is used to browse the web. No one would care if the internal documentation browser wasn't updated.

Only because Microsoft made that stupid design choice, there is no reason it needed to be part of the OS. The numerous alternative browsers that work perfectly well illustrates that.

There is something call KernelEx apparently: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/ which can fix that. Or you could use Opera, that even supports Windows 95! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers#Hist...

Isn't that the point of the milk analogy? Milk is good when it's fresh, but not so much when it's old.

Their browser is too tied to the OS. Why can't you have IE7+ on Windows 2000 or IE9 on Windows XP? the latest version of Firefox (3.6) works on both. And, why can't you install multiple versions of IE on a computer? I think these things are

Because you need to be a billionaire to successful at those.

There are two parts to this one, weather it's a success as a open source project and secondly as a business. I think the two parts conflict.

Maybe it should be something like this: Founders : 5x the salary they could have expected in a job over the same period they worked at the startup, after taking off any monetary investment they put in (+ interest) and adding any salary ear

Don't you see the wider message on the last page? This destined to happen again, since journalists don't fact check, don't have relevant expertise and the press favour sensationalism over accuracy.

Also, it would cool if you could graph a particular bill against time e.g. your phone bill.

What's Schwab? These people: http://www.schwab.com/ ? My Banks have sort of a bill pay feature though it's not like I described, it's just a pre-populated list of payees like Electric, Gas, Water etc. companies and it's not even that simp

It would be cool if bills appeared in an inbox on your online bank account so you could review and pay it in one click. Also, you would have the full details of what you bought in the history of your account. Also a graph and projection of

If the IT project doesn't in end save money more than it cost, it's a failure in most cases. The ID card system was never going to save any money nor make the country safer (it's original selling point). The NHS system seems to be going ver

People are thinking about this wrong. $170k = 4 young inexperienced people for a year to take on Facebook, WRONG. This should be thought of an open source project, they should use the $170k to coordinate a large open source project to creat

by rythie 16y ago
I don't think many of the people who create open source projects want to create a business. It's just they wanted to solve a problem and then share that solution with the world. Typically they get employed away by someone who does want to c

There should be link for further information, yes. Though I think you should be a quick pitch inline - actually thinking about this a bit more, there should be char limit on it too, say 500 chars. Not sure about Salary/equity details, it br
