How (US) Presidents Have Treated Israel
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/26/opinion/how-presidents-have-treated-israel.html?ref=opinion
Is treatment of Israel always one of the issues in the US Presidential elections or is it something new? I have never seen such special treatment given to another country during election campaigns? Or this nook of NYT just an outlier? What am I missing?(Obviously I am not from the US)
What should we name the definitive documentary on the Internet?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110825140044AAWkmYf
If you're doing the definitive documentary on the Internet, doesn't it make sense that you'd use the Internet to help pick the name? We've already begun shooting luminaries such as Brewster Kahle, Steve Wozniak, John Perry Barlow and others. We'll be adding nearly 50 more interviews of the key innovators, thinkers and freedom fighters responsible for this extraordinary creation that has transformed nearly everything about modern life. We'll be asking three kinds of questions: How did we get here, where are we exactly, and what's possible for humanity? Already the moments that we've captured have been inspirational, as you might expect.

But... we still need a name.

Our favorite so far, "Connected", it turns out is already taken by another project, so we thought we'd turn to you. Your suggestion might be a title or a title/subtitle combination, such as "Connected: The story of the Internet" etc.

Thanks for the assist!

How does virility happen?
I see a lot of startups here, some before the YC experience and some after that talk about their virility skyrocketing to levels that are very sought after by many other and I wonder - how do you guys do it?

The usual is a new startup claiming million of pages views a day, hundred thousands uniques a day and I wonder how it's done. What are the different methods you guys employ to get there.

Thanks!

Recoupe your Windows PC after a major virus attack 
http://www.borntechie.com/entry/recoupe-your-windows-pc-after-a-major-virus-attack/
A computer virus attack on your system can render it crippled in many functional areas, leaving you helpless with glitches galore. It can change your registry entries, change security settings, delete/modify Windows files/Start-up items or run processes in the background. This can affect the performance of your Windows PC, which makes it vulnerable to even more virus attacks and unsuspected problems.
Modeling Human Drug Trials — Without the Human

Yabla.com for Spanish, French, Italian, German or Chinese immersion
http://yabla.com/
Thought I'd post it because several geeks I know are also passionate about learning human languages. Firstly I'm absolutely not affiliated with these guys in any way or form, other than being a paid subscriber and hoping they stay in business. This is the very best language immersion website I've found. Looks like they've been around since '07. I do several of their immersion videos each day and it's absolutely saving my butt in French. (I'm based in .fr land for a year). Not sure how good the other languages are, but the idea of having real french videos with english and french captions where all words are clickable for definitions is brilliant. You can also slow down the audio slightly to break apart syllables.

Why? To mitigate squatters, keep it inexpensive, and have the upcoming expiry lessen then opportunity cost to list here.

Ask HN: Are we too homogenous? Maybe, Not yet, But...
http://www.shirlawsonline.com/blogs/197-my-pond-theory-or-why-social-networks-must-fail
There's been a lot of discussion here lately about the quality of front page stories, comments, and the community at large. Is it still focussed, or are we going down the bland road to mediocrity other social sites have done?

In one of these discussions (on potential pg bias http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=165855 ) I came up with a visual of a social website (network/ bookmarking / whatever) being like a pond with a series of ripples.

I've now expanded on this on my blog - more reflection made me wonder if the growth of social sites might necessarily lead to homogenization

Small Adsense amounts yes but enough to demonstrate what computing and the internet is; lowered barriers and new opportunity.
