Yes, I too was blocked from further exploring by this bug. Why so much clicking? Wouldn't it be much better if the box with information simply appeared when mouse hovers over the circle?

It seems like I am in a similar situation - having a site with user submitted icons and mouse cursors. And I got an email informing me they will not show ads on that site. The page mentioned in the email contained an icon of the "pedobear".

Is there a well know central place for this? I once considered starting a web site for this sole purpose - to let people publish their ideas to establish prior art - but I don't have time to manage yet another web.

Indeed, it is very strange that an animated GIF would be so ineffective in this case. The image does not seem to have too many colors and the animated changes are minimal. Have you tried an encoder that attempts to use at least the basic GI

Did not know about Ghostery (I am a lazy user) and decided to install it. Thanks for the article ;-).

A "me-too" product may be fine when starting and your goal is to gain experience. It may also be fine to enter an under-served niche, where the users are not happy with the currently available products. But if you enter a popular, saturated

Maybe I have expressed myself not clearly enough, so once more: I prefer the collected information to be public because then it is clear to everyone that it is being collected and many more people are aware of the implications. I think it i

I do not have a Quora account, but I understand their move and it may not be all bad. There are 3 ways how a company may handle user passive privacy: 1. Not collect any information (in this case who read what article) at all. Obviously that

It looks very nice, but isn't this the wrong way to do vector graphics online? The purpose of a font as I see it is to give text certain style. This looks like a hack - using one thing in a way it was not supposed to be used. Editing the

Sorry to hear that it is so hard to come with a balanced reliable solution in this area. But it is a good thing that you are trying to address the bitcoin's problems. If there were such solution, it would attract different kind of sellers a

Interesting, but I am still waiting for something that would be positioned between Bitcoin and Freicoin with inflation controlled democratically, not set by an authority (developers behind respective currencies). Every user would choose how

Indeed, SVG is a bad standard because it is too complex. There is no 100%-compatible SVG editor (except notepad) - every vector graphic editor just supports its own subset of SVG, things get lost when transferring things between "SVG-suppor

Also, there is one thing about the title of this story that I do not understand. Why would a failed negotiation imply that "nvidia is losing face"?

And it won't become popular, because it attracts the wrong kind of people - speculative investors and bitcoin miners dreaming of becoming rich. It does not attract real buyers or sellers...

Well, I agree that there may be dangers. Eco-activist groups should focus on forcing and helping the scientists and corporations to do more thorough testing. They should not destroy crops or attempt to stop the research. Thinking that they

So what? The current, non-genetically modified plants are not holy in any sense. They evolved and the during the evolution, their genes were altered countless times. Every day, an unique, genetically modified plant is born, because a gamma

It is interesting that none talk about this being spam, the "suggestion box spam". Would spamming the web with "romanians are smart" actually change something? Isn't this the actual non-working method that spammers use? Instead of building

On the other hand, you made it to page 1 on HN due to your going to the conference and blogging about it. That should be better than the 3 blog posts you aimed at :-).

There is a difference. Wikipedia and many open source projects cannot forcibly switch to paid model, because they are currently giving their content away under CC-BY or GPL and you can keep a copy of it. If they started charging, you can fo

One more point worth considering. We were conditioned to associate the music with the medium, because it was more profitable. Now it is not anymore and there lies the problem. In the past I bought a MC and then I bought a CD. I paid twice f

Bitcoin's design (limited amount of coins) attracts the wrong kind of people - investors and speculators - there is no wonder the "value" is fluctuating heavily. A real virtual currency must attract buyers and sellers of actual goods, not j

I do not think this has any chance to be effective. There only need to be few people, who decide the money for implementing SOPA is too good. A better response will be building a technology that cannot be controlled like this. Why not just

Maybe I do not understand the system well enough, but isn't there too much room for fake accounts? The web site implementing BrowserID must trust the browser or the 3rd party validation service that the user really owns the specified email,
