Oops, I did assume that you could re-lend them after two weeks. Wow, that's a crappy way to do it.

The same way that they've been handling it till now. Book lending isn't really a new invention. Even with the turn off the wireless hack, you can have a max of two copies of the book at once. I don't think it's that big a deal.

I'm possibly wrong, but for me, Merry Christmas has a direct association with buying, sales, or e-mails about a sale etc., while happy holidays doesn't conjure up the same meaning, and hence a higher probability of me opening an e-mail? May

Hmm, let see, all my family's back in India, so a whole day on the internet with my reader feed running on empty. Close to zero posts everywhere except HN today.

Really great stuff. Especially like the idea about intelligent AI finally evolving from the arms race between developing a good spam bot vs making an intelligent spam filter. Software that pretends to be meat. Nicely done.

See, this is the problem. If there's one thing you absolutely cannot say to a programmer, it is that (s)he cannot do something. That just strikes a nerve somewhere. Some fundamental part of me just cannot accept that I as a person am incapa

I disagree though, as a developer. It might be unnecessary to have an incredibly design focussed thinking (but sites like mint.com prove otherwise), but figuring out how a core feature is supposed to work, and then leaving the details to de

Well, you lot made me feel all guilty about my list, so I trimmed it down. I'd really like a good pair of noise canceling headphones, and if anyone has recommendations, some good fantasy / sci-fi books that I can just relax and enjoy.

Holy shit!

That was what I was thinking too. But well, the media has been just addicted to hyping up salaries of the IIM grads who are employed in a similar fashion, and just decided to carry it forward with the IITs.

An incredibly huge one. If they've found microbal life reasonably close by, then atleast on a personal level, I'd think the possibility of intelligent extraterrestial life can be taken MUCH more seriously. That said, I'd think it'll be much

One of Seth Godin / Scott Adams had a posted that's related to this. The way I look at it is there are people all over the world with diverse skill sets tapping into the internet. There needs to be some sort of collaboration engine where un

I remember reading one of Scott adams' blog posts that wanted an app that worked exactly this. I'm afraid it'll be too impractical for any real use. I'm curious though. How woul it be able to tell the contents of, let's say, a sub just by l

I wonder. There still are quite a few empty spots though, and like the poster above me said, white lights were present since 1992 and the red ones are 2002+. Why wouldn't ISRO or someone release a pic ? Would be all the rage for atleast a c

Agree. I think we'll see more of these pop up because there's a great market in India for duplicating existing business models in the US (Groupon, Foursquare, Skype) because of the new 3G spectrum auction. I'm just sad that I don't have the

To be expected really. It's a farce if Oracle can still call Java "Open".

The stats I think consider only the startups that were incorporated (if that's the right word).

I agree, I'm actually much more inclined to use my Google / Twitter accounts over Facebook. Maybe that's just a temporary thing.
