IPad App Review: Dash Four
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/04/ipad-app-review-dash-four/
With the iPad having been out for a week, users may still be trying to figure out where it fits into their day to day use, and developers are trying to tweak/create applications that take advantage of everything the iPad has to offer. Immediately after getting my iPad I started to look for the same apps that I use daily on my various devices (BlackBerry Tour, Nexus One, iPod Touch). I am an avid Twitter and foursquare user, so that is where I started. One of the first apps I found and purchased was Dash Four, a foursquare application made specifically for the iPad. Read on to find out more about Dash Four.

Conscious Parents/Entrepreneurs of the World Unite

We are redefining parenthood and our children are reaping the benefits. The new dad is much more involved than the traditional dad. I mean, how many of our dads stayed home with us for any length of time? Yesterday I was among other dads who have done just that or they have enough flexibility in their career that they can spend more time and focus more energy on their little ones than traditional dad would have thought possible.

Tell HN: IOS is for Cisco products, iOS is for Apple
I've spent alot of time studying and working with Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) and it really grinds my gears when people refer to the iPhone OS as "IOS," simply because when I skim the headlines on HN, for example, I'm forced to pause and read the whole headline before I realize it's something that doesn't interest me. It happens alot.

Please refer to the iPhone OS as iOS. Thank you, that is all.

Hello World in Different 'Languages'
http://usynk.com
I am interested in learning different computer languages and I know that I would not have the time to learn them all by reading books. I am guessing a lot of people in Hacker News would feel the same. So I created Usynk (USynchronize) using Pligg, where people can submit their code, link to a demo and a brief explanation of the code in the language of their choice.We will start from the basic "Hello World" app to more complex ones as time passes by. Users vote on the best submissions (for that particular 'step') and we will move on to the next -slightly more complex example (which would build upon on the previous example), which again gets voted, and it continues until we feel comfortable with that particular language.The example codes are to be submitted with the agreement that it could be used by anyone for doing anything, completely free.
What better place to link to this site than at Hacker News?
C'mon guys, let us see why you like your language so much?

Ask HN: What kind of things do you say about projects when interviewing?
When you talk about previous projects during an interview what kind of things do you say to make it informative and interesting?

For example (I'm a student), I've been working on a multi-threaded Ray Tracer for my graphics class, I built a plugin interface for the package that contains the Ray Tracer, and I'm expanding the support for the Collada file format, but besides that all I can think of to say about it is that they're written in Java anything else seems like like it would only interest a specialist or is obvious, I had to do lots of debugging, I learned some new Java functionality, implemented some algorithms, blah blah.

I really like the project and am adding to it because I'm interested, but I don't what to say about it.

So recruiters /interviewers, what are you looking for in "Tell us about an interesting project you've worked on."

People with projects, what would you say about your own projects? Or would you suggest saying when asked the above question.

Ask HN: Help me with creating a business card and name.
I'm starting a small business and I need to create a business card and name for my business to hand out to people. The business is mainly an automotive parts distributor. I'm selling fluids, oil, and things like that.Think less actual physical automotive "hardware" and more of stuff like oil filters and sparkplugs and break fluids.
1. Where can I get business cards for cheap? Should I go to a physical store or do it online? 2. What are things I should consider when creating the business cards. 3. What are the things I should consider when choosing my business's name?

Any other tips would be highly appreciated, thanks HN!

What are the best interview questions you know?
Context - I was reading some of the comments in the "what happens when you type google.com into the address bar and press enter' article and wondered what are considered good questions. Also, I would like to know if the following sequence of interview questions would be considered "bad" by most of you (for an embedded software position):

<Interviewer>: "It says on your CV that you know VB .Net, could you tell me what some of the primitive data types are in that language?"

<Inteviewee>: "What do you mean?"

<Interviewer>: "You know, storage types ... like 'Integer'."

<Interviewee>: "Um...?..."

<Interviewer>: "Thats OK ... Could you tell me what programming language are you the most comfortable with?"

<Interviewee>: "Assembly"

<Interviewer>: (surprised) "Really? That's great! Of the different architectures, what processor's assembly are you the most familiar with?"

<Inteviewee>: "Umm ... the 68HC11."

<Inteviewer>: "Cool ... I actually built a 68HC11 board back in school. Could you describe some of the addressing modes that are available on that?"

<Interviewee>: ...?...

FWIW, these are questions that I asked. Just wondering if there was a better way to go about it.

Belgian ISPs to block The Pirate Bay
http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.standaard.be%2Fartikel%2Fdetail.aspx%3Fartikelid%3DDMF20111004_087
Pardon the very crappy Google translation. Brief English summary:

A Belgian court of appeals has decided that ISPs should block access to the The Pitate Bay. It's a simple matter of DNS blocking, so it's pretty east to circumvent (ie don't use crappy ISP DNS servers). Still a very disturbing precedent. IANAL, but I was always told that downloading was perfectly legal under Belgian law, whereas sharing was not.
