But it won't have the mouse overs that gives you little factlets? Does anyone know where Bing gets the images and facts for the mouse overs? Is it someone's job to put those together?

Let's not forget about magazine apps either. There was a recent submission about Wired's app being 500MB for one issue. If all of the magazine apps end up being the same size, you could only get 4 mags per month and nothing else.

I guess 8 killed my brain. Figured it has something to do with the image, but I'm stumped.

You don't need to figure them all out. I was able to guess based on parts. Like I have no clue what the hand is supposed to be or that mountain looking thingy.

Me too. Tried base64 decoding the viewstate value, looked like garbage to me. Also tried changing the stuff in formbox to inputs, no luck. Anyone get passed step 2?

I was thinking more that the people actually concerned with their privacy might not want to submit their name and email address on some random site. So the the number of pledges could under represent the people that actually want to quit (o

This is silly, they have no idea how many people actually quit. Not that I think many people quit anyways.

I'd be more interested to hear about what they're actually working on. Judging by their twitter stream the only thing they've actually done is redesign their web site. 200k well spent.

The 2.5% actually applies to currency conversion. So as long as your PayPal account currency is the same as the currency that you charge in there should be no conversion? While we're talking about PayPal, if you want to do small transaction

I can't find it now, but amidst the 3.3.1 kerfuffle someone blogged about what the iCar would be like. Here's what I remember from it: If Apple made cars: * You'd only be able to drive them on Apple-certified roads * The cupholder wou

Didn't bother reading this one. Looked at the one from two days ago, saw double click ad planner and made assumption. You know what they say about assumptions.

I hope people don't start holding off on their submissions for the "optimal" time. I'll have to find a different way to procrastinate in the mornings.

They might still consider it "wasteful" since the same number of cups would be thrown away. But I believe they can be made with the waste products from the processing of corn or sugarcane that already happens.

Are you talking about PLA and the like? It's pretty much a biodegradable/compostable plastic made from corn starch or sugarcane. I've seen utensils made from it in some cafeterias. But they can make lots of things with it, here they make co

Yeah seems that way, I just saw two comments with the same number of points but significantly different posting times and they have the same color. Thought time might be factored in too, like HN does points/(time since submitted)^2. Also no

Screenshot doesn't really tell me how it calculates hotness. HN already uses some form of hotness based on points/time, but this uses a different formula I think.

How do you work out what's hot, if you don't mind me asking? Something based on the points, comments and time I'm guessing?
