Ask HN: How do I make an introduction video for my webapp?
For many startups I've seen relatively simple videos which describe the web application. I want to create a little 1 minute video to show what our product has to offer.

Some examples what I mean:

They are both done by the Epipheo Studios but would think that there is some awesome software to create most of the effects.

Show HN: House on Fire, Who Would You Save?
http://houseonfire.co
Hi HackerNews,

I got fairly bored last week and decided to use my spare time to create a social experiment where theoretically there's a house on fire and you have to save one of your friends.

I created it pretty quickly so the code may be a bit heavy but it works pretty well (I'm sure one of you will be able to break it though!).

Hopefully the homepage is self explanatory...

If you login via FB (I'm adding Twitter shortly) you will be able to play the House on Fire game--it basically loads two of your Facebook friends and you have to choose who you would save.

It's pretty fun and I hope a few people enjoy it (if any). Feedback is welcomed too. Thanks!

Everyone likes scrabble.. right? Help researchers improve AI.
http://ciigar.csc.ncsu.edu/tbarik/wwf/
How do people play games? We are researchers at North Carolina State University (Digital Games Research Lab). Help participate in research by spending a few minutes or more playing a variation of a popular online game, Words with Friends (Scrabble). Playing our game will help us improve the design of games in many areas, including usability, interaction, and artificial intelligence.<p>We are interested in a variety of in-game actions, such as what words people choose, why people shuffle (and when), the circumstances in which people choose to swap tiles, and more. Data collection on this type of work is difficult to obtain in general, so we hope you'll take a few moments to play the game. Plus, it's fun to play.<p>Feel free to post questions or comments here. We thought this study would be interesting to some of HN members here, particularly to those individuals working in the area of social games.<p>Thank you for supporting science!

Testers needed!
http://history.sansj.com/forum/read.php?4,4
I need people to test a new app that I have created: 'History!'.
History! is a personal web history manager. It allows you to save, bookmark and tag the page that you are currently reading and gives you the ability to locate the page at later stage.
Requirements: Firefox (with JS enabled), Web Server running MySQL and PHP.
A Firefox toolbar is created during installation and that is when the fun starts.
You can view a demo here: http://www.trk7.com/install/xxx.php?sstring=what+makes+a+sentence

I think it is much more flexible and powerful than other web history managers and the best thing is that all data gets stored in your server (absolute PRIVACY)!

I have tested the app in Firefox (2&3) in Mac and I am pretty sure it will work fine in Win Environment.So please check it out.

Automatic Generator of Regular Expressions 1.1
http://machinelearning.inginf.units.it/news/automaticgenerationofregularexpressionversion11
We have slightly improved our automatic generator of regular expressions from examples, mentioned in a previous post (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4682545).

We describe how the system works---very informally and very briefly. Then, we will list some of the open questions.

The webapp generates regular expressions automatically, only by means of text extraction examples. An example is a string coupled with the substring to be extracted.

It is a research prototype developed by our lab and we believe it is the only existing tool where users provide only examples of the desired behavior. Being a prototype, though, it is far from being "perfect" and we will greatly appreciate any comments or criticism.
Tell HN:  A 5 minute olfactory hack for the holidays
Do you like the smell that a house has after a holiday meal has been prepared? Spices, flavors, etc., topped off with the smell of pie baking?

Here's a simple way to create that smell in a few minutes.

Fill a pot half way with water and bring it to a boil. Add the following:

- One Apple, chopped.

- A large dash of several of the following: Allspice, cloves, cardamon, cinnimon, cocoa powder

- A splash of vanilla, Grand Marinier, etc.

- A lemon if you have one.

- A few coffee beans

- Some rosemary if you want a more "dinnery" smell underneath.

The ingredients are all optional and should be tailored to your taste.

You can add fruit that you would have otherwise thrown away... it's at its most aromatic stage.

Let the pot boil (and add water to keep it from boiling dry).

The fragrant steam will fill your living space with holiday cheer.
Ask HN: suggest startup blogs for aggregation
Hi HNers,

I've built a news aggregator based upon pubsubhubbub, running on appengine. It's an experiment project started far away in 08', but I gave it up as I cannot see any value a simple feed aggregator could provide, and it was ugly, technically.

When later Google added new apis, like cron/queue tasks, and there is new pubsubhubbub. Then I thought: let me scratch it, and build around these new stuff. And here I am, it's technically superior now, at least.

I still see no much value here, but i'll try this time. I'm gonna aggregate startup blogs, so please suggest some. Your time appreciated.

It will be released before FIFA world cup. And the source will be open later, if you're interested.

Thanks!

Whatever happened to Asmallworld?
http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/02/04/whatever-happened-to-asmallworld/
Asmallworld, the social network for a rather self-selecting elite, was launched several years ago by Swedish Investment banker and INSEAD Alumnus Erik Wachtmeister. Back then he’d deicded to tap into the evolving microcosm of social networking. In that era it was Myspace that was making its way as the leading social net aside from Friendster et al. Specialized social networks were still scarce. Wachtmeister hit up this niche of a an international network of affluent and influential people. Asmallworld grew to a userbase of initially 30,000 users, and later 500,000. So what happened?

The Zen of Ruby
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3460627/the-zen-of-ruby
Hi,

I have written a Ruby gem named 'this'. Get it here http://rubygems.org/gems/this. Purpose of 'this' is to show quotes of 'The Zen of Ruby' whenever you "require 'this'". As I could not find any equivalent zen quotes for Ruby, currently I am using 'The Zen of Python' (PEP 20). Extremely sorry for using it :)

Can you guys suggest me good quotes that Ruby 'Zen' should have. I would update 'this' gem to have new quotes.

Thanks.

Get credit for all of your research
http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/17/science-data-sharing-site-figshare-relaunches-adds-features/
One of the goals of figshare is to get researchers to share even negative results from their works, in order to reduce duplication of effort, as well as to encourage citations. Publicly available data leads to more citations. According to figshare, unless “we as scientists publish all of our data, we will never achieve access to the sum of all scientific knowledge.” By sharing unpublished negative results, researchers can accrue citations for their efforts from other researchers who build upon the work.

Show HN: Managing your user's local cache
https://rubbrband.com
We launched Rubbrband to help you modify and delete cached data in frontend applications.

We found that companies struggle to debug their user’s website problems since they have no visibility into their user’s local cache. As a result, companies ask their users to clear the cache when their website isn’t loading. However, clearing the cache is only a temporary band-aid solution. We developed Rubbrband to let you monitor your user’s frontend cache and fix problems before they occur.

We’d love to hear what you think! If interested, please join the beta at rubbrband.com or email us at contact@rubbrband.com.

Ask HN: Is there a paid Distributed Computing service?
Is there a service that offers small payments for distributed computing like Folding@home, but for all things computer intensive (rendering, complex caluclations, etc)?

Think Amazon's cloud services but in reverse, you get paid for the computing power your computer provides.

If not, what negatives are there to be considered for a service like this?

The fact it's a big engineering challenge and people would try to fake computing cycles to receive more money have already been considered.

I'm asking HN, because I'm interested to see other's thoughts and who all is interested, Thanks.
