   Excuse my gratuitous comment, but I'm just happy to see that I'm not alone. I too _deeply_ despise ads, and popups, and anything that I need to dismiss to get to the content. However, how can a blogging programmer make some money

    The new Digg is* awesome, and doesn't share any ties with the old Digg. It was bought for a modest amount by this pretty cool company: http://betaworks.com/ * or used to be? I haven't checked it in ~1 year

    I'm CTO at a small startup in a small-ish city in Germany. Every time we advertise a position we get _tons_ of applicants, and yet that doesn't mean anything. Good and reliable engineers are _very_ hard to find and recruit. We&#x2

    Good point. However to me it still just seems terribly wasteful/stupid. Considering the aux battery in most computing devices, couldn't the musical thingie be embedded into the computer itself?
