The uprising in egypt was relatively peaceful. The media spotlight was on and Mubarak may have restrained from using force to save his own skin. Comparing the two because Egypt also shut down the internet is natural, but Mubarak is not Qadd

I've never seen a down arrow (405 karma as of this writing). I've been imagining it would look just like the up arrow except upside down? My mouse precision is superior, so I will only be accidentally clicking the down arrow when I'm on my

Whoa. A college football coach is the highest paid california state employee? Seems like california is focused on the wrong things.

I relied on Paul's guide for a lot (thanks paul!). The one difference is I exported the Wordpress posts to XML rather than grabbing the database. Daniel Hoelbing's Importer.rb will do that for you. http://www.tigraine.at/2010/10/01/goodbye

I ported my site to jekyll last night and moved to S3 for hosting. Then I realized that my .htaccess file wouldn't work so I couldn't redirect some links I wanted to keep. I'm mostly a product guy, and the entire experience of setting up je

Al Jazeera has really come into its own. With their coverage of Egypt, and giving an un-punditized view of Anonymous, they're being true journalists. I'm not sure if my overwhelmingly positive feelings towards AJ stem from it being unexpect

Congratulations Andreas! I don't think that getting passed on by YC invalidates an idea and means it's no good. You clearly had a vision you knew was great and kept pushing. An inspiration to us all.

I was lying in bed last night think about how to do it. Im thinking of cutting the end off of old iPhone buds and then soldering the mic, and headset together with that on the end. Fun times! Thanks for the encouragement.

If that never came up again I would personally just ignore my comment. But for me the photography link was a little too close that anyone who has seen the movie will probably make the connection. Kind of like the tea party tea bagging thing

It seems to me that the smart thing for GroupMe to do is to use push on smart phones and sms on non-smart phones. If they aren't already doing this, it's an easy win to reduce their volume over SMS.

Firstly, best of luck with your startup! That's an exciting move. I'd also recommend moving somewhere like New York, SF, Boston, Austin where there is an active community of technologists with whom you can bounce ideas. I wanted to point ou

If only there were a mod to add an Apple headphone connector and a Zalman microphone to the sennheiser 555, that would be an amazing VOIP headset for the Mac.

If samsung operates their business units independently, and don't play favorites, then Apple can easily have the purchasing power with Samsung Displays the Samsung Phones has. However, if samsung plays a slightly dirtier game, then they ris

The assumption is that people who have purchased Nokia phones in the past will continue to purchase Nokia phones with Microsoft software on them. Marketing will sell a few. Brand loyalty a few more... but if MS fails to deliver compelling s

The subtle dig at getsatisfaction was interesting. (For history: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1650-get-satisfaction-or-else ). This is a good show of selective transparency. The last 100 should serve to make potential customers feel war

2. On #2, so if you want to harass someone without putting yourself on the line, generate "evidence" about them and provide it to law enforcement, but don't file a police report. Good to know!

I'm not sure that being "better" is what they are going for. In one corner you have wikileaks, and anonymous challenging the state and a security firm, showing their cards against their will. In the other corner you have the government and

That's from 2007. I hope the CEO isn't still wearing that Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club outfit. Does the office still look like it does in the pics?

Politics are tricky. Sometimes what's best for me is not best for you. I want all people to be free people, but not at the expense of my right to be a free person. I imagine that America's position on Egypt like every other decision in fore

Software designers use visual metaphors to make software easier to use. One of the reasons Apple has been so successful is their UI elements remind us of things in the real world. Like the now popular on-off switch from iOS. That could have

I have a friend who is a petite white girl with blonde hair. She lives in the bronx and takes the subway home late at night. When I asked her about feeling unsafe, she said that no one harasses her and she hasn't been mugged.

Agreed. I live in New York too. I go all over the city. I have not sought out the "Worst Neighborhood", but I have been to sketchy neighborhoods in all the boroughs and nothing looks like those pictures.

I can't help but compare his treatment to the enemies of the state that the good 'ol US of A captures. Being blindfolded for 12 days sounds like it sucks. Im really glad they didn't do much worse.
