It's great to see a one man show like Instapaper doing so well. His space is becoming more crowded yet Marco's focus and drive means Instapaper keeps delivering more and more value. The changes in 4.0 look great. Kudos Marco. You're an insp

1. I'm disappointed that the Government is working so closely with special interests like the RIAA to set legislation. 2. I'm glad that it is possible to FOIA it. People do lots of things to cover up unpopular news. It seems that for whatev

My take-away from the article was that at most the stupid money is drying up, and very likely the article is wrong. Opportunities still abound to use technology to disrupt existing markets. If that can be demonstrated to people with capital

My dad lives in singapore and sent me a list of laptops his computer guy sent him. They all had Core i7s and platter hard drives and weighed a ton with mediocre battery life. All my dad wants is a light laptop with good battery life to emai

From comments here, it looks like there aren't good options for secure email outside of the jurisdiction of the US government. I've been interested in setting this up for myself. If you're interested, let me know on this form, and I'll beg

The hardest thing with the united states is we've built a system that is complex and there is no one person who screwed everything up. Example: People have high student loans because college is expensive because more people want to

I almost went the consulting route. It seemed so appealing. Good pay, lots of variety in projects. In the end I didn't. As a result, I've gotten real experience working at real jobs. I didn't consult on how to improve sales. I sold stuff. A

On the converse of this, someone has been cybersquatting my last name for about 10 years. Any advice on how to get it? Details: I own the .co.uk version, but not the .com. My dad has had a company registered (not in the US) with the name in

Im confused by this pivot. What problem are they trying to solve? And for whom? Americans don't really take vacations. When I'm on vacation, the point is to get away from everyone... not live-stream my vacation back to them. The closest I g

Agreed. I figured out that setting my username and password and clicking saved seemed to work. Even if I'm not going to add all my info now, I like creating my account to come back to. It felt like I could do everything but that.

The headline is a little awkward, but the interesting thing here is that Anonymous is now doing analysis on the books of corporations. It's unclear how much of this is based on public information vs. leaked information, or really what the g

I take that back. I think you're right that they're changing the profile. After watching the video, it wasn't clear, but scrolling down the page, you see: "Fill this wide, open space with a unique image that represents you best. It's the fi

This looks like a new feature rather than reinventing the main way you interact with Facebook. Your comment seems directed at the changes they made in the past few days rather than the link in this thread.

When I read the headline, I was hoping for another Whitman. Alas, it was the one I feared. Meg Whitman has never struck me as a visionary CEO who can fix a broken company. It seems like if this goes through, HP will be relegated to a slow d

You don't speak for all Netflix customers when you offer your perspective. I joined Netflix because of streaming and I prefer to look at streaming only. When I joined netflix I got a DVD and didn't return it for a year. I didn't want to ret

The bar chart with independents, republicans and democrats makes it seem like every group is equally large. Are there as many independents as republicans? The bias of this method towards smaller groups is no worse than the pie charts. But i
