or, how about just a used contract-free smartphone? This is the route I've been taking, going from an iphone 3G to hopefully soon a nexus one. Disclaimer: I can't stand carrying both a phone and a pda device in my pocket.

I think it was called gooey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gooey this screenshot of it takes me back 12 years, woah: http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/article/1999/06/17/gooey.gif

interesting, my first impression is "hey, it's a linkblog!" rather than "hey, it's a delicious clone!". This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just my observation. a few things I see that I'd kinda miss from delicious: 1) instead of seeing how

Is there a ACM club or something similar (robotics perhaps?) at your school? If not, it can't hurt to try to start one and attract others with the same problem as you. You never know how many others at your school may be feeling the same wa

not sure why there's downvotes, maybe I worded the above too strongly. He clearly mentions how he discusses how he routed around browser editing/DOM manipulation to Google, and then a similar approach was taken by Google later in their prod

I would say the problem is that you divulged technical details before getting a written "intent to acquire" from google. While keeping the line of communication is important, it's also important to ensure it's worth your time.

most of my family is trying to be more minimal, so we stopped giving each other gifts years ago unless it was something important (baby, etc), or something they needed but was easier for someone else to find. What I'd value personally: high

I started off on an ee route. We used this textbook in our first circuit class: http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Circuits-8th-James-Nilsson/dp... . In later classes we used this book, which I see in the bookshelves of my coworkers: http://

I like the concept of this site, although I wish it could somehow portray other factors that are important to what makes a good work environment: a short (hopefully carless) commute, great people to work with, good lunch food either nearby

Yes, they did: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/packagerforiphone/ I would think the market should be responsible for judging quality, not a sole company. On the app store you can request a refund, or give a review as well.

Fully agree, and now that FF4beta7 fixed some of it's font issues, I'm switching back to it from Chrome. Here's why: 1) Panorama (a.k.a. tab candy). I can finally organize my tabs into little projects. 2) Much less restricted extension supp

yeah, I agree. I thought about this today and realized some of the worst advice we got was from our middle school principal telling us to be well-rounded and develop real-world skills. It's the opposite of forcing yourself to focus on thing

Not quite advice, but was a running theme of what many millenial-generation kids were told in the US (think "Mr. Rogers" era). Many argue it's made use seem overly demanding to others, particularly bosses.

I actually understood the one-button mouse idea recently. It forces software developers to try not to hide all the useful features behind right-click menus, but figure out how to consistently lead a user to where they want to go. User Story

"Apple essentially has no consumer-level desktop outside of the iMac. For example, there's no "headless iMac" to select. " I know they're expecting to compare a low-price tower, but I wonder why they didn't consider comparing the mac mini.

I'm working on similar goals right now, but focusing on making a bookscanner (see http://diybookscanner.org ) instead, namely because many of the books I have are out of print. I figure I can later just use the bookscanner for documents a

ugh, I was about to say yes to this but something came up, would still like to meetup sometime though.

Wow, as a hardware/software guy this is comforting to hear. And it's true, there's lots of poorly architected software out in engineering-land.

Yes, I'm totally down for a meetup! It's really easy to feel like a lone techie in this town...

I'd rather consider using truecrypt and do plausible deniability, and own hardware I don't have to get too emotional about keeping.

I think he's relating to the "book of five rings" / "art of war" way of writing books. Theres many big long books that are merely churned out, or are written before an author has reached a point of completeness about the subject he's writin

Because you end up spending your life with no memories other than a blank canvas, and because you won't stay alive with only a blank canvas. "Happiness is only realized when it is shared." Communicating ideas without a few wrecked canvases

thank you so much. I'm trying to explore the possibility of addressing an industry-wide problem through starting an open-source foundation. Do you know anyone who has gone through the effort of convincing the boss not just to leverage open-

Personally, I was never a fan of indian cities when I travelled there. I'd like to live near a cheap beach town like Gokarna or this place near Mangalore : http://surfingindia.net/node/10 . That said there's likely no tech/startup cultur

I know I've debated with another HNer on this. I like the smaller 3.5" lcd (nexus one, iphone) because I can use it to go workout, and let it fit in my jeans without poking out. I consider anything bigger to be more of a "purseable" phone.

While I love your blog tynan, I have a question for twitter: Since when did it become ok to get someone else's twitter handle just due to inactivity? And if the change occurred in only five minutes, was there any warning to the existing use
