I don't like the way Google are, basically, lying about what Chrome is. "You need Google Chrome to install apps". No you don't. Most of them work just fine in any other browser. And for the functionality that isn't present, what's better, w

it's been changed from the "original" google groups link to an imgur link. Groups link was: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.next.announce/browse... edit: and from the monthly archive for Aug 1991 it looks like the TBL message date

that's the obvious reply, but it fails for two reasons: 1) SERPs are not fixed; they vary from month to month, and even from day to day as new sites and pages appear and are added to the mix. This is akin to the houses on a street changing

yes, it really was! TBL's been trying to 'put the lid back on' and get the web closer to his original vision ever since!

Where did you get that from? The link worked for me this morning but now doesn't, which makes me worry that google have killed the posting for some reason!?

but on the web, there is no street on which to see sites next to each other. I knew a jewellery company once which had two sites. One was all red and gold and stars and flashing things, the other was all purple and white and curvy things. T

I'll be interested to see if Mastercard's stock takes a dive as a result of this. Not that I don't expect it to recover quickly of course. But it does make me wonder who first suggested 'operation payback', and what exactly their motives we

I'd hardly count Novell and Sun as 'every US open source company'...

Well done! So now you've gone from building a successful startup in your spare time, to building another one in the spare time left over from the first one! Very impressive work, inspirational :)

yeah I played with that a while ago; a clever way to experiment with crowdsourced image labelling. It would be interesting to see their results.

My pleasure. I'd love to hear from you if you decide to give one of these a shot! :)

I've been using wordpress on http://puremango.co.uk for a year and a half with no major complaints. It's easy to set up and modify which is a big plus. edit: Oh, and I also use it on http://sciencewallpaper.com and http://geekwallpaper

I took it up and brainstormed a product and wrote a few blog posts up at http://WeddingBudgetBuddy.com but I haven't launched a product yet. To me building audience is key, and I've been making slow progress getting relevant traffic. I'm

I'm in the same boat, ish. My problem is that I haven't put as much effort into my november project as I'd like. On the plus side I've learned loads: Why being a single founder is hard (2 people means you both have to be demotivated in orde

Hey, I didn't mean to offend. And I've also been guilty of releasing non-production-ready code. And if you'd just included that kind of disclaimer clearly up front I don't think I'd have felt so compelled to comment on this. As far as the p

Sorry to moan.. but it makes me quite angry that this is getting so many points. Not only is it a pretty dull code snippet for which a combination of Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools would do a better job, but also the code has m

You can get the data if you're signed up to google webmaster tools. Have been able to for a while. And that includes info on times when your page appeared but wasn't clicked on.

psst: the submit button is labelled as "sumbit" ;) Nice idea. If you can get enough people on it I think it could be really useful. I'd drop the 255 char limit, and put a space for a twitter account/blog url. And link the (user24) to my HN

Techcrunch titles are getting longer, but I don't know if that trend stretches out to the web at large. So I did a quick survey of my blog ( http://www.puremango.co.uk ) which has been running for 6 years. Here is a graph of the results
