   I only wish it had a "talking paperclip" theme.

   I think boxes are extra when all you need is elegant typography.

   So.... everything that has a logo that resembles an apple (the most popular fruit after banana?) violates Apple's rights?

   While I am geeky, I always felt that the graphing calculators did not contribute much to my math classes. And neither were they a significant gateway into technology - few people went beyond the simplest functionality.

   To me this all sounds like rhetoric.

   I really dislike these "what X can teach us about Y" titles, especially when they are misused. Like in this case, where "Google's Famous Cafeteria" has nothing to teach us about health which we did not know. It can make us jealous, though.

   A different syntax on top of Erlang VM? That sounds awesome. Syntax seems to be the number of critique of Erlang. Hope they don't drop many language features.

    I think that all we should do is wait and see. This is all very interesting and unpredictable. It is at least a good experiment. If you are going put money into the system, well it is at your own risk. Nobody who does not sign up is at any

    That sounds like complete BS. I grew up in Russia and no way that statistic could be remotely true.

    The blog post that the author points to says NOTHING of what the author claims it does. If the author is not referring to that particular post - none of the recent posts touch on the topic.

    Talking about coincidences. The top post right now is about John Resig going to Khan Academy. So I am watching the Khan TED talk and in the beginning there is a video in which the equation is mentioned. So I am wondering, what is THAT equat

    Ah, I was looking for something like that. Thanks for the pointer! This is a feature which I, personally, would like to see soon.

    Thanks! It is useful. I am surprised that there are not more of these restricted markdown projects. It's a common need.

    That's a great idea! When making it I was really torn between a dark and light scheme. You solved the dilemma. Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion. The website is actually in need of much cleanup, even though it is small. I was trying to roll it out asap, in fears that otherwise it would never see the light of day.

    Weeeelll... I was somewhat inspired by readability, so a resemblance is not coincidental. I have seen posterous, but I was going for something even simpler. The email to post idea is pretty cool though. Thanks a lot for the feedback.

    You would need to double the whitespaces if you wanted new paragraphs.

    Thanks for the feedback. Much-much appreciated. I was thinking of adding an "author" field, and now that you and some other people mention it, I think I will follow through with it. Honestly, you seem to have put much more thought into URL

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Agree on the first point. Markdown formatting I actually did implement, but commented out for the first "release". It will be a somewhat restricted markdown, along the line of reddit. I am not sure what you

    Well, that is not an exciting story. I used Django. And, oh yeah, its on shared hosting... for now...

    My point was to be able to publish readable "blog posts" on sites like HN and reddit without an actual blog. I'd love to hear feedback on whether it might be useful, and if not, what might make it so.

    Well, I am referring more to the Apple's mobile products. On which you cannot get an application (including your's) without Apple's consent, or without paying.

    Call me an idealogue, but I am not willing to buy any Apple product. I am surprised that so many people who label themselves as open-source activists, or something along those lines, buy Apple's products. As far from "open" as possible.

    The best scenario to my mind would be if the cops simply decided unanimously to ignore all marijuana offenses. On a side note, I really wonder how often cops act against their beliefs, such as arrest people who, they feel, did not harm.

    With cellphones around people are never alone anymore. To my mind, this "aloneness" (does not mean you are feeling lonely, but could) is an integral part of a meaningful human experience.
