Xobni Brings BlackBerry Email to the 21st Century
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/06/xobni-for-blackberry-brings-blackberry-email-to-the-21st-century/
When I first got my BlackBerry, which I expected to be the ultimate email machine, there were some things that left me wanting more. There was the whole lack of two way syncing with Gmail, which meant that everything I deleted from my inbox on my computer would require a second deletion from my BlackBerry.

JackTheDonkey.com. A Socially Responsible Social Network
http://www.jackthedonkey.com
Hi there,<p>My name is David Katz and I have recently launched a social network called JackTheDonkey.com. JackTheDonkey.com is the community where your time online supports the charity of your choice. Or what some call, a socially responsible social network.<p>Jack donates more than half of all ad revenue generated by an individual's time online to their choice of more than 20 charities from across Canada and the US, and now the UK to the tune of 1.1 cents every impression (paid at par depending where the charity is registered...or at least that is the theory...the advertisers to date have been friends and family so I have been covering the 1.1 cents myself).<p>The number of impressions and how you create them is up to you. Simply sharing, viewing or commenting on pictures or "deep thoughts" makes cents!<p>Jack also takes a "softsell" approach to keeping the charities top of mind among existing supporters, while trickling into the consciousness of potential supporters, as the charities' Twitter feeds have recently been incorporated into their supporters' personal profile pages...viewable to the community.<p>Yes, the name will always sound a little untraditional, but JackTheDonkey.com is working to connect with individuals who are traditionally unengaged from anything remotely related to volunteerism and fundraising.<p>There is another key component to the site that we are rolling out in the near future which will provide an additional stream of funds for the charities on jackthedonkey.com.<p>Please join us: http://www.jackthedonkey.com/Register1.html (and remember to check your spam folder for the activation email).<p>Attached is a copy of my first piece of press that I was able to generate locally earlier this summer:<p>http://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecjnews%2Ecom%2Fimages%2Fstories%2FHeebonics%2FJune_25_09%2Epdf&urlhash=PfME&_t=disc_detail_link<p>Attached are also links to a couple reviews of Jack that were posted recently on a couple startup related sites:<p>http://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstartupmeme%2Ecom%2Fjackthedonkey-jacks-every-visit-of-yours-to-support-your-favorite-charity%2F&urlhash=yJkm&_t=disc_detail_link<p>http://null/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ekillerstartups%2Ecom%2FSocial-Networking%2Fjackthedonkey-com-support-a-charity-the-social-way&urlhash=p3FU&_t=disc_detail_link<p>www.JackTheDonkey.com is free for the charities and members of the community, but not for the corporate sponsors/advertisers. For corporations, this is what many now refer to as "cause marketing for the web 2.0 generation".<p>Thanks in advance,

Top 50 Bills of the 112th Congress on POPVOX
http://www.popvox.com/blog/2012/top-50-bills-112th-congress/
With Congress closing up shop for the election, we thought it was a great time to look back on what you had to say since the 112th Congress started back in January 2011. Having the most activity does not by any means indicate that the bill has the most support.

The top five bills for the 112th were:

1. HR3261 (SOPA) Stop Online Piracy Act

2. HR3035 Mobile Informational Call Act

3. HR2306 Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act

4. S3240 Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act

5. S968 (PIPA) Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act

What are the UX/UI considerations for expanding text fields in iOS app design?

Hello,<p>The following question was raised by me on Quora (http://qr.ae/EvSn) :<p>What are the background graphic/s considerations for expanding text fields in iPhone applications?<p>I have created background UI Assets for text fields but there is a good chance that the height might not be sufficient for lengthy text inputs even on wrapping them.<p>It would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction to pre-emptively resolve this problem and incorporate the solution in all further UI Endeavors :).<p>I look forward to your response.<p>Cheers,

Facebook announces ‘simplified’ privacy settings 
http://rajthackeray.info/component/content/article/58-world-news/3954-facebook-announces-simplified-privacy-settings.html
The Facebook public image offensive continued today with a press conference at the social network’s Palo Alto headquarters announcing its new “simplified” privacy settings. The event is a marked departure from Facebook’s general method of announcing changes via relatively subtle blog posts and notices on the site. The news conference, announced yesterday, came as a surprise to industry analysts who expected privacy setting changes to come in the next few weeks, not days.

Why I Don't Care If Microsoft Can Listen In On My Skype Calls
http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2012/07/27/why-i-dont-care-if-microsoft-can-listen-in-on-my-skype-calls/
Anyway, back to Skype: Here’s my question … what are you doing on Skype that would make someone want to pick your conversation out of the roughly 25 million Skype calls that are made each day? I suppose that anyone wearing a tin foil hat might assume that everyone’s calls are getting siphoned off to the likes of the NSA’s Utah “Data Center” where supercomputers using advanced voice recognition technology slice and dice every single utterance looking for anything and everything that could be used against anyone. That is, of course, utter bul … er, nonsense.

On client-server and evolution
https://medium.com/p/6a57a6afaf57
Part 1: emergence of the apex predator

Known from early Paleolithic era, client-server was probably the first and to this day, most successful, way to deal with scaling information systems outside of a single computer. We find fossilized remains all across the world, from polar circles to the equator, deep in the trenches and high in space. Officially, this gigantic apex predator does not exist anymore, been long displaced by more sophisticated and/or nimble architectures. However, its legacy can be easily traced both in the genotype and phenotype of the modern software species. In some sense, it’s more alive today than when it was the only available option...

Some questions about development environments
What platform\platforms are you developing for?
How long does it take to build your full project?

Do you use CI server?
How long are your unit-tests?
Ask HN: How does Zappier, Pabble, Integrately etc. work?
I'm wondering how do they create so many integrations really fast? I'm looking to build a platform that will require multiple companies to integrate with me but in their own way. I do not want to re create the wheel. I know I have to have an API myself, but are they all following some sort of standard?

Thanks
Ask HN: Right technology for a high performance commodity trading platform
Hello, I am tinkering with a start-up idea for developing a high performance ETRM (energy/commodity trading and risk) platform similar to Allegro (www.allegrodev.com) and Eka Plus (https://www.ekaplus.com/) based on open source technologies. The idea is to combine energy and commodity trading processes with high performance/in-memory cluster computing and speed up risk analysis considerably.

Not sure how trading savvy people on HN are, but I am interested in knowing what kind of tech you would recommend for such a platform? There are different approaches for such an architecture:

1. In-memory analytics based on Apache Spark
2. High-performance multi-core C/C++ GPGPU based on CUDA
3. FPGA systems as used for high frequence trading systems
4. Other in-memory database systems with full ACID compliance (e.g. VoltDB)

Keen on your thoughts, industry experience, and general viability of this idea.
