Nope, they are not spammers, the captchas are not for creating accounts; it has another use. But obviously I cannot go into details about my customers here.
Interesting point. However it seems like the only way to make big money on the internet is through advertisement and Google has that market locked up. Chrome is just another tool for their social data-mining. I'm sure they keep logs of what searches your IP has made (if you use Google Search), what emails you have read (if you use Gmail) and what websites you visit (through Chrome). If you sign up for any of their services then they can tie a name to an IP and then track what other computers you use (so they will know for instance that a work and home computers belong to the same person). This way they can profile people and then carefully target advertisement towards them.

So then they funny result is that the more people use them the better they get; and the better they get, the more people use them. It's a perpetual motion machine, they feed on their own sucess so it almost seems impossible to catch up with them.

So are you saying that microsoft is trying to replicate this with the Bing, IE, Live/Hotmail ? Clearly that won't be enough. They're gonna need a huge innovative breakthrough to win this battle...

Ultimate Guide about jQuery UI – Tutorials, Tips, Resources and Examples
jquery is very useful and popular new version of javascript. You can just imagine is power with this fact that it is used in almost top 10000+ most visited sites. jQuery UI is basically jQuery user interface library. It provides interactions, effects, widgets, etc to create internet applications. In this post i have give you ultimate guide about jquery ui.
we've been blocked from using adsense on ww.com, there is no recourse for it so we don't even know why* we've been blocked, same on reocities.com*

Could this be because ww.com sounds like a domain squatter's site? I know that's not the case because I know of the person who runs it, but if I were to see that name without knowing who jacquesm is, I would be inclined to believe it belongs to a squatter.

No problem with many authors, simply expire when the last author dies.

Corporations I sort of already said something about. However I must admit I like how things work in the Norwegian equivalent of copyright: You can transfer "copyright" to corporations, but if, and only if there is an employee relationship (either you are employed or working as an independent contractor). This for example means that as a student you retain full "copyright" to all of your work (master thesis etc.), but as a professor it can be transfered to the university.

In addition you always retain your "ideal rights" no matter what, even if the rest of the "copyright" is transfered to your employee. I don't think american copyright has an equivalent to this. Basically it means that no matter what you have 1) the right to be identified as the creator and 2) the right to deny derivative works to be associated to you.

This means that if somebody makes a movie based on your book you can say "Hey, this movie completely misses the point, I don't want to be associated to it in any shape or form" and the creator of the movie cannot use your name at all.

This does however mean that there is no such thing as public domain in Norway, since there is no way of giving up your "ideal rights". Even if you put something out there under terms that in the US would be public domain, you cannot give up your right to be identified as the creator or your right to not be associated with derivative works.
My first association was with the character from the UK children's TV show Rainbow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zippy_(Rainbow)

I doubt it's a trademark issue, as trademarks tend to be usage-specific. (e.g. Apple Computer vs. Apple Music) It's probably just a matter of Google feeling there are too many different things already associated with the name 'Zippy.'

(I also now have the "Rainbow" theme tune stuck in my head.)
Good one, Jacques (assuming you're reading this)

People get caught up in all this ranting about MFA sites and they forget one important point: an ad is just another link as a resource that you can choose or not to put inside your content.

If I'm reading an article on how to carve pumpkins for Halloween, why wouldn't I want a chance to click over and see how much carving kits are at PumpkinCo? In fact, the author of the piece can make a guess as to what I might like, put some links in, then check to see if anybody is clicking them. In this way the ad is much more than a revenue generator: it's helping the content author determine what the intent of his readers are when viewing his site.

If I find that nobody clicks on PumpkinCo but lots of folks click on a knife shop, then I can eliminate the PumpkinCo ads, put in knife ads, and, more importantly, think about writing some more content around how to best choose a knife. After all, that's what people visiting the page are interested in. Each little change I make isn't so much focused on income as it is making the perfect experience for the person visiting my page.

Too often we think of web pages as something "we do" to the reader, as if it's some huge program that we create and the users are just little bits running around in it. (I know Jacques doesn't think this way, but some folks do). It's better to think of any sort of web content as a conversation: you do something, people come by, you measure and observe, then you respond to what they want. This is the very essence of A/B testing (which talks about this is purely analytical terms)

It's a damn-frustrating conversation, but in a way it's a hell of a lot cooler than email or IM. I can take a page over time and hone my message, adjust the graphics, add in ads, mix-in video, maybe add some interactivity -- all in an effort to create an extended multimedia conversation with some guy I will never meet and who may visit my site long after my death.
To me that's pretty cool stuff.

I know hacker news isn't the place I'd usually post comics, but I found something about this to be profound. I joke a lot about being proud of being lazy, or that the best programmers are the laziest, but "lazy" is a really loaded term. I think the punchline captures it perfectly:

"A deep understanding of reality is exactly the same thing as laziness. Have you ever seen a statue of buddha jogging?"
I see your point, but not all teenages would do this even if they thought they would not get caught.

While I agree that the full force of adult law is probably inappropriate, some punishment should be exacted. Perhaps some sort of injunction regarding limited access to the Internet for a time (to be enforced by their parents, and to include replaying any fancy 'net capable phones with a good old not-even-got-GRPS mini-brick phone for the duration).

If I left my front door open and some kids came in, raided the fridge, broke the TV and ran up a huge phone bill, I would not expect them to get away completely unpunished. I'd not want them put away, and I wouldn't want it on their permanent record unless something particularly immoral was done (harming the cat, for instance), but I would want something to be seen to be done to educate them on right/wrong and act as a deterrent to others. I would also expect to be laughed at for being daft enough to leave my front door open!
> it would probably do a whole lot better if it had any kind of marketing behind it, but it's not really in my nature.

I've read quite some remarks like that here and in other places, and I've said it about some pages of mine too.

Maybe it would be a good idea to build a marketplace where developers and marketing people can get together, and share the additional profit that the additional marketing generates.

If anybody wants to take up that idea, I'd be happy to be your first customer. Currently I'm just working on other projects (see another reply from me in this thread, for example), so I won't do it myself any time soon.

The only thing preventing me from leaving FF to move to Chrome is TabMixPlus (especially multi-layered tabs), considering I regularly have 20-30+ tabs open simultaneously. Scrolling through tabs on Chrome is a very painful experience, and as such, my Chrome experience is limited to occasional moments when FF feels too clunky and needs to be restarted.

If there is a Chrome extension that allows this, please let me know, because I've been unable to find one.

Just goes to show you can still be successful without an MBA, a bachelor's, or a diploma. So many successful people missed some part of standard education so I guess we all should since those are the ones we keep on celebrating.

I can't tell if I'm being sarcastic or not...The idea is to avoid the typical route and focus on building and execution, where the real world is giving you a report card and not a school. If you're good enough, you'll get an honorary degree or be accepted without the standard credentials.

I'm a fairly eager, though passive, Hacker News reader and it seemed that a lot of startups were getting the message about what exactly they do a little jumbled: I imagine it's their own entrepreneurial excitement bouncing around with their own understanding of what they know they do, and so presume others will, to.

So I setup a service (http://www.pearwords.com) to help startups get their message across to sites like Hacker News, The Startup Foundry, TechCrunch, etc, and, to use on their own websites to give customers a "two-second summary".

We hit profitability in our first 24 hours and we've have had a steady stream of customers since (some of whom are working on some really cool stuff -- communities like HN really are fully of some brilliant people). We've spent zero-dollars on advertising and have only posted a couple of comments (literally two) around on sites where people might be interested.

I attribute our success so far to: being very specific in what we do; high-quality work; being very quick; a clean website; and being cheap, though I think we could charge a fair bit more with little impact on orders -- we're just keeping it low for launch time while we really ramp up.

I've have/had many side projects that make small side income.

1. A tshirt site. This one is a step above cafepress. I designed all my tshirts but also had them printed on really nice alternative apparel shirts and people bought them.

2. A photo sharing widget that integrated w/ Flickr and SmugMug that people would embed into their blog/website. I put Adwords on the site.

3. A hot or not site for twitter with ads on the site. This still surprisingly generates more traffic than all my other sites combined.

4. A social media dashboard site w/ some decent analytics. This was geared towards marketing and pr firms.

5. Put up a Youtube review of the Iron Gym Pullup bar that did really well SEO wise and got rev share from Google/Youtube. I get a check from Google every 6 months or so.

6. An instant book search site - http://Shelfluv.com - got a few dollars from affiliate sales.

7. An iPad app that shows inspirational business quotes.

I may be naive, but isn't $1,000 per month for 100K unique impressions (as reported in the article) per day an insanely low price? Can anyone speak to how many ads run per month?
Me too. The main value of the trackpad is "inertial scrolling" - you can scroll through a web page with a very small finger swipe, and then stop the scrolling where you want with another tap. Much more effective than a mouse wheel.
Maybe the 0 in 08 could be the clue. But that's not really much better.
Kink in Your Golf Game? Tiger Woods' iPhone App Can Help
The whole bias towards ads blows my mind.

Simply put, ads are about turning money into sales.

The history of the modern Internet is the history of more efficient ways to turn money into sales, to name a few like affiliate marketing, AdWords, social media, or Groupon.

It takes a very pessimistic bet on the innovation to seriously consider showing ads as a part of the business model.

EDIT: style
I think another way of looking at this is in parallel with Ben Horowitz's dictum, in the context of hiring, to look for strength rather than lack of weakness. I think in school admissions or hiring, there's a trade-off in the end of trying to find the best people in terms of the most impressive lack of weakness in any area versus the most impressive strength in at least one area. The more bureaucratic the process becomes, the more it tends to favor screening for lack of weakness.

There's a corresponding tension on the candidate side in how to prioritize the record of accomplishment one seeks to develop to prepare for a desired school admission or job, in how much effort to devote to shoring up any potential weaknesses versus how much effort to devote to pursuing capabilities and accomplishments centered on one's core competency. Sometimes that choice might take the form of whether to procrastinate less consequential pursuits to focus all one's effort on the most important thing one knows of to work on at that time, and sometimes that neglect of other pursuits can make a difference not just in degree but in kind, like pg talks about in "Good and Bad Procrastination".

The danger is that all college admissions processes are becoming homogenized and over-bureaucratized to the point of excessively screening for lack of weakness, to the point of never fairly considering a candidate's record of profound intellectual accomplishment because all the right boxes on their record aren't checked off, and that students are calibrating their intellectual pursuits accordingly. The glory of MIT in this example is that it avoided that over-bureaucracy of the process at least in this instance.

Obviously you can say well, any really gifted student should devote all necessary effort to a well-rounded education and SAT prep and extra-curricular activities as well as develop clear accomplishments in a core interest, and should be able to do well at it all. There's always a trade-off at some point though; and I think many of the greatest intellectual accomplishments have come from people who didn't consistently devote large chunks of their schedule to a diverse portfolio of widely varying subjects and activities.

For years, mice have given me shoulder / upper arm pains if I use them for too long.

I was surprised how quickly I adapted to touchpads though... The reduction in time reorienting my right hand from the keyboard to a device a foot to the right and back again is a major win in usability and with a little acclimatisation I honestly find the touchpad more accurate for general GUI work. I edit and retouch photos with it no problems as well - for really heavy work I prefer a pressure sensitive tablet but I can do just fine without. By now, even if the pain issue went away, I wouldn't switch back.

Honestly, there is _one_ thing I've found where a mouse is genuniely better for me than a trackpad - FPS gaming. For that, mice are great (though I can imagine a good joystick would be very good too) but otherwise.... In any case, I've now moved my limited gaming entirely over to consoles. I don't think I even own a mouse any more.

Congratulations to PHPFog. They've managed to direct the attention to the 16 year old kids rather than their own incompetence.

Is it me or no one mentions the lack of expertise of the PHPFog team in PHP and Systems Administrations.

Sure kids broke in and the way they published their findings was despicable. The fact remains that PHPFog was utterly broken to pieces and the exact essence of the problem is simply the lack of knowledge in their field.

I am very disappointed by the tone of the blog post and think PHPFog don't really have a notion of what they are doing. I would much rather seem them where they belong, in the Ruby world where their experience is.
