I'm mentioning this from a point of complete ignorance but why can't this sort of proposal be used for cable operators as well (both for broadband and television)? Getting to choose from several competitors on who gets my tv and broadband

If you include affiliate codes as part of tracking codes, I can definitely see some users wanting to keep that data preserved. For instance, someone may want to reward some shareware author with their amazon purchases. Social organization

I had heard it was over 50% which i found very hard to believe so the 12% number seems a lot more reasonable.

Awesome app. I can't wait to use it on our next hike. I really wish there were more apps like this (and Shazam). Just off of the top of my head, i'd pay a reasonable amount of money to identify: bugs, fish, seashells, animal footprints, mus

I was going to say that the day pass pricing is right on but if it was me, I'd want to do price testing on the monthly pass because it seems to inexpensive. I'd also consider a "Enterprise plan" which is monthly plan with possibly some rest

Regardless of the funding, I think if this tech is true it's pretty neat. It's kind of like Shazam for Geolocation: "A few feats of engineering brilliance hide under Color's slick surface. How does the app determine who's in the same room

I'm getting the "sold out" message to although their twitter feed doesn't really reflect that; I'm hoping it's just a glitch with their service.

I love my yubikey (yubico.com) I doubt I really need that level of security for my data but it's too damn cool not to have.

You mean abstain from any website that doesn't block google from crawling it and that might have your personal information, either directly from your participation or by aggregating your information from other sources.

Xmarks also has a similar site feature based on our bookmark data: http://www.xmarks.com/site/flippa.com It also categorizes sites so you can look up the top rated sites for an individual topic: http://www.xmarks.com/topic/web_sites_for_

I think the article has the name wrong. In the article text, they spell the last name "Resig" but if you look at one of the screenshots, the actual name is "Rezig".

I really like this idea and execution. Really nice work! I think a good feature to add would be some sort of kiosk mode that could be used during a wake or reception by just putting a web browser on one of your pages and it would rotate th

I have a simple tool for autorefreshing a page on save too, albeit you need to add a script tag to the html you are editing which adds a comet connection behind the scenes. Works across browsers so you can have IE, firefox, and chrome all

Google already does this prefetch on some search results pages with the top result. For instance, in firefox if you search for "hacker news": http://www.google.com/search?q=hacker+news there is a link element added to prefetch news.ycomb

The "kj" remapping seems like a nifty trick; I've spent a while getting accustomed to ctrl-[ instead of the <ESC> key (I can't reach the <ESC> key without moving my left hand), but it's still hard for me to do quickly and r

I have a Revo and it's pretty nice for streaming video from a server but it's pretty sluggish for Flash content even with the newest Flash beta running under windows. I love it as a XBMC front-end to my UPNP linux server; it is super quiet

I was just typing a similar comment when I saw yours. In general, learning how to use "apply" is a very useful technique for someone coming up to speed in Javascript.

Right analogy; wrong conclusion. I still use my digital camera when I want to do "serious" photography, whether it's for taking family photos or any other event that I want to perserve a memory. When it doesn't matter or when my digital ca

I've checked out recipepuppy.com before but not foodguts.com, which I think is terrific (although I'm not entirely enamored with the domain name as descriptive of the content) and will definitely use it in the future. I could see that site

Nice work. I've been trying to write something very similar to this for the last couple days so perhaps I won't need to complete it after all. The one concern i have is that it appears to send up every url I navigate to; I'd much prefer to

If you are a mom as your username suggests, that's impressive. When our kids went to preschool, my wife and I had colds frequently. Teaching our kids the basics in hygiene at 3 years old is hard enough, but putting them in a germ hostile e
