I would recommend it to the ebook selling crowd. Those business owners would love to have more "How to raise a parrot" sort of ebook sales, but in video.

I like to believe he's out there, using some new pseudonym (or many) and still contributing in different areas. Even if he's not, there's a lot of good people who still are.

I really like their service-- my problem is that I can never remember the name of the website when I setup a new PC.

I really like the idea of this service. The difficulty is, I'm not seeing any "Getting Started with Websolr" guide to understand how difficult it is to get working with you. Where would that be? In my ideal world you would have a demo insta

Some of the free services are available to existing customers. We use SQS and welcome the free tier added there.

Yeah, I'd like to see these warnings move out of the HTML space and into the chrome in some difficult to mimic fashion.

The same one that had the jailbreakme.com exploit for so long? I have an iPhone, too, but to be fair, exploits don't discriminate all that much.

There's an instant demo link in the top left corner.

Be careful-- We all know from experience that there's two sides to every story. The other guy's perspective could just as easily make it appear as if the OP has the personality issue. The truth is that every founder is different and every o

Why not sell the iPhone game to someone and just pocket a little cash from selling the rights to it?

We also sell vanity tiny URL shrinkers over at http://tinyarro.ws -- revenue is light but there are a good number of people who want control over their own domain shrinker. The hosting costs for high levels of redirection are obviously qu

> Are you suggesting he is not allowed? You misunderstand-- that line comes from shifting the original author's opinion back at his own complaint. The devil's advocate I channeled doesn't really have an opinion of its own. The point i

Early morning devil's advocacy: Why are you allowed to complain about other people's free content? You weren't paying for the content they provided where they complained about outages, surely? Or was a mild irony an intended part of the art

These are awesome but also not new-- YC released them a couple years ago. Here's some discussion on them, for example: http://www.startupcompanylawyer.com/2008/08/23/how-do-the-sa...

Yeah-- I've been very paranoid about getting lost and had only died once before (but found it quickly somehow). So I determined that I wasn't going to have that worry again. So I set off on a little quest after a lot of mining. I built a co

The best I can sum it up: I can barely remember anything that has happened in real life since I started playing Minecraft on Saturday. All I have are Minecraft memories and I can't believe the clock now says it's Thursday. Very dangerous if

I don't think the rude dismissal is warranted. I think the point retube was trying to reference is that studies have shown that people vastly overestimate the magnitude and duration of changes in happiness due to a windfall or catastrophe (

Why not try it? Go silent without mention and see what happens.

That's not strictly true. It doesn't have to be like that. Why can't it be handled like SSH? You can cache the certificate and raise the ZOMG flags when a known site changes behavior. As it is today, browsers scream bloody murder and then

I really like when people acknowledge the difference between passive and active attackers. I really, really want there to be more passive protection by default without requiring every computer/node/server to have a trusted certificate. I re

I was going to comment that their name may not be great for non-techies to "grok" what the URL means to type it correctly. Hence it might hurt their adoption rates with mom-and-pop web stores (since I was about to recommend it to one). But

Video looks decent enough. I would see this as a difficult feature to get people to know about. Preparing Gantt charts for presentations seems to be a niche enough market (project managers, IT consultants, managers, etc?) that you might hav

To provide the opposite anecdote: my corporate desktops have always had Flash, if nothing else but to allow Flash video tutorials, etc.

That feature was so confusing I had to explain to my computer-literate-but-confused-by-Wave friends. Hard to edit your preferences, hard to get other people into it, hard to get reminders set up. If they could relaunch and make all those th

We use it exclusively for our meeting status reports, etc. It's just a wicked solid tool for meetings and out-of-band document collaboration. I'd love to see it continue. I'm sad it didn't get the adoption they wanted, but I also wonder wha

Your experience is so different than mine that I find it quite fascinating. I hope you continue your successes! After my own fifteen years of product engineering, I personally do not have the courage to push forward with a major design (be
