Indeed gets more job searches than any other site. 
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/21/indeed-now-gets-the-most-pageviews-for-job-searches-in-the-us/
Indeed is now getting more job searches run on the site than any other job site out there. I think this is a great example of a using a better model (search) to benefit job seekers and advertisers. You get a great product for job seekers - comprehensive one-stop-shop, and a more affordable solution for advertisers (PPC)/or, par-for-performance.

Great disruption of the job board industry here. Love it.

Sazerac is not just a straight-up CSS boilerplate, it is a hardcore concoction of the base ingredients: web target analysis, prototype and wireframing, and design creation in Fireworks.

Lifetime free web based project management tool with 1 G disk space, 5 users？ 
https://www.waterflowon.com/plans_and_pricing
Lifetime free web based project management tool with 1 G disk space, 5 users, Really?
Yes, its true. Waterflow is a new player on the web based project management tools market. Maybe they just want people to start to use their product like evernote did on their product. I have tested it, it is solid good product. Personally, I love the Rss idea, you don’t need to log in to your project management portal, you can see all your project progresses in your Rss reader.
Check it out at https://www.waterflowon.com/plans_and_pricing<p>Share an excellent project management tool free plan with you
Waterflow is an simple and useful projects management tool. It has a free plan, which have 1G disk space,5 user and one project. That’s enough for you to manage your project. Compared with basecamp’s free plan which only have 10 M disk space. It’s very generous. Enjoy！

Ask HN: An Open Source Web Game Engine?
So one project I'd like to work on over this summer (Australia) is putting together or working on a web game engine (Javascript / HTML5 / CSS) that is similar in design to Wordpress. In that it has hooks and filters that anyone can use to build plugins for the engine.

So for example if you were developing a game with this engine and wanted Facebook connect support you could simply grab a plugin and use that and it would work with your game, or if you wanted Paypal to process microtransactions you could get a plugin to do that etc.

The problem is I'm still not sure how this system would work. I'm thinking it'd have to have some sort of PHP backend / control panel similar to Wordpress where users could add the plugins and change options related to the engine.

Then building a game would be similar to building a theme (but of course a lot more complicated) and it would run on top of this framework.

I know this is a big complicated idea but I'm sure there's quite a few smart minds on here who might want to flesh out and run with this idea and develop a truly awesome open source web game engine to make it super easy to build web games.

Thus my question is. Does anyone know of anything like this? Or do you know of any good web game engines currently out there that could be improved upon to make them more modular so anyone can develop plugins for them etc?

Ask HN: Any interest in a review aggregator for restaurants?
I was in another city on the weekend and wondering where would be a good place to eat. Yelp's app does a good job but only shows Yelp reviews. It looks like there are about three major review sites in Canada (restaurantica, yelp and trip advisor).

Would anyone else be interested in a restaurant review aggregator that shows nearby restaurants? Has this already been done (well)?

Show HN: Flexalon 3D Layouts for Unity (Try the WebGL Playground)
https://www.flexalon.com
Hello HN! For the last few months I’ve been working on a plugin to help Unity developers arrange objects with the power of layout in 3D.

I believe layout is about more than making 2D UI - it’s a way of designing that is faster, more precise and easy to update. Flexalon can be used in world building, in-game effects, motion graphics, 3D user interfaces, and more.

I've created a WebGL playground that you can try which demonstrates how layout works in 3D. Click "Playground" at the top of the page. Would love to here what you think!

Will Google use the White Space frequency to power its phones?

I've have some interesting comments regarding that there are technical issues using the 700 MHz band for voice and that the telcos would likely sue. What do you guys think?

A New Chance for Online Gambling in the U.S. 
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/technology/internet/27iht-gamble.html?src=linkedin
PARIS — Is online gambling coming in from the cold?

When the U.S. Congress cracked down on Internet betting in 2006, the big, publicly traded European companies that had dominated the business closed up shop in the United States. Growth in the booming industry shifted away from these companies, once the darlings of the stock market, to private operators in offshore locations like Antigua and the Isle of Man.

But now, executives of some of the European companies whisper excitedly that they may soon get a second chance in the United States. Meanwhile, a number of European countries that have long maintained barriers are moving, under pressure from regulators, to legalize, and tax, online gambling.

“There’s still a lot of gambling going on, where there’s no revenue coming in to the governments,” said Gavin Kelleher, an analyst at the research firm H2 Gambling Capital in Ireland. “They realize they could use the revenue.”

Ask HN: What Is The Best Language For A Webcam Applet?
Hi there!

I am new to this forum, and I want to develop a simple applet. My question is which language would be best for doing it?

The applet uses a webcam to show the users face, then uploads a still to the web site when the user clicks the upload bar. The idea is for the user to get the best pose, then click the button so that he does not have to make his own .jpg file using his own webcam software. I want to make it easy for non-programmers to upload a simple face shot for ID purposes.

Would Java be capable of this? How about HTML 7?

Useful Plugins To Enhance Your Tables’ Efficiency
http://www.designyourway.net/blog/resources/28-useful-plugins-to-enhance-your-tables-efficiency/
When I was working for the last client, I had to make a table sortable. I knew I saw a jQuery plugin do that somewhere but I didn’t know exactly where so I started searching. In my search, I’ve discovered a lot of jQuery plugins that did that and besides this action, a lot of them who would improve the functionality of a regular table making it dynamic and more efficient. I’m sharing these plugins here with you, 28 of them and hope they’ll be useful for your current or future web projects.
