Interesting question - you could take automated screenshots, save them in a lawyer-friendly format (e.g. PDF) and then add a certifying signature with a secure timestamp (perhaps adding the raw pages and images from the site as attachments to the PDF as well).

If the target market was lawyers you could probably charge a chunk-o-money for it as well...

NB I have no idea whether such a service already exists.

So in your world; wanting someone to be sued to the point that they go completely out of business and can never open again is one side and "I really enjoy the product" is the complete opposite side of the spectrum?

How to Backup Your Xperia ICS Firmware
I looked at the site, read this, but I still don't get it. I think you should have more a straightforward description instead of "Easiest way to find quality content." Also remember that you're releasing this for HN right now, so you can be less bullshity and more to the point than you think. Ie. "Followords pulls in your social streams, summarizes and priritizes them for you." Or something like that, I'm still not clear what it is.
That's awesome. I needed that last week ironically.

Thanks for posting.

Well, you haven't been reading much lately, have you? Marketing is clearly a huge part of any consumer-facing business.

Despite that, Apple is still a product company. Google is a marketing company, they create, manage and sell advertising space.
> 'Bad publicity is still publicity'?

Obviously. For obscure brands, the first problem to solve is being unknown. It is much better to be hated than to be ignored.

For well-established brands, it may be less true: I guess Shell and Total would prefer no publicity related to oil spills.

But even then, bad publicity can have good outcome. I know from personal relations about a brand that has been under fire on Facebook and blogs: the amount of clients did actually increase during and after the hit.
That fundamental problem is very difficult to solve.

It's fine to run code written by other people, but that code should be run in a safe, completely sandboxed environment.

There are no verifiably sandboxed environments on any consumer IT equipment.

Implementing applications as the moral equivalent of a highly-dynamic text document

I wasn't aware that moral equivalence was such an issue in dynamic text. Oh, that kind of dynamic text, you should have said. There's some tissues in the cupboard.

nerds keep pushing it because it seems like a cool plot to a sci-fi novel

Nope. Not enough spaceships, lasers or robots.

If they actually cared about security, they'd disable Javascript, disable Flash, disable WebGL, and turn Chrome back into a web browser

All of those bar webGL precede chrome by lots. And on that model of security, you might as well just not bother plugging in the computer in the first place.

I do want a cardboard boat though. I wonder if Shigeru Ban will make one if everyone asks him really nicely.
Indeed, swapping + with • is a tad dirty, even if "camera" is the best way to describe it.
I fixed it. See how pervasive Apple marketing is? ;-)
It's possible to never have nil pointer dereferences. But the tradeoff is constructors and some complicated scoping.

Block scoping is confusing for many people coming from the dynamic languages where scoping is usually function level.
Amazon probably isn't paying 15 cents/megabyte in the US. But they're probably paying significantly more outside the US. They've figured out the average cost per megabyte and probably added on a few cents. This way the author is getting charged something in the neighborhood of $2.70 to deliver each book rather than being charged $0.50 for some and $15 for others depending on where the purchaser happens to be. Also keep in mind that Amazon lets you download purchases again at a later time via 3G, so they're probably factoring variable delivery costs based on the number of times people are normally downloading the books.

Amazon also has a pretty good track record at lowering costs when their costs go down (at least when looking at AWS), so it wouldn't surprise me to see the delivery fees dropping over time as they negotiate better deals with AT&T or if they start working directly with other mobile operators in other countries.

Noise bothers me, I even get bothered by the heads resting in a hard drive. It seems that the quieter you get your environment - the more bothered you can become. I've a pretty decent asus gfx card that remains unused, because it has an onboard fan. Both my desktop and laptop are whisper quiet.

I had a friend with a Pentium 4 machine, that he just kept in a nearby cupboard. Once shut behind the door, you couldn't hear it at all. If I was a home owner (and could modify my house at will,) I'd probably just place my PC in another room (preferably a store), and channel cables through the wall. Would be cheaper than wasting money on over-priced cooling. The good thing about this, is that you also don't have to worry so much about what your PC looks like. You can even mount a motherboard in something like a biscuit tin.
Well, fundamentally, there is nothing in Mint I can't have in Ubuntu (and sort of vice versa, though I don't know if Mint has Unity yet). Those codecs, for instance, are a click away in Ubuntu (either at install time or in Software Center).

That being said, I prefer Unity to any of the DE in Mint. Plus there's HUD and I'm going to assume all the other stuff Canonical is going to put out soon. I'm one of those people REALLY looking forward to being able to buy an Ubuntu for Android phone. I mean REALLY looking forward to it. In that case, I'll like the consistency of Ubuntu everywhere (Perhaps we'll see a TV soon with Ubuntu TV on it...that would be sweet. etc.).

Nothing against Mint. They are doing something pretty cool, just not my cup of tea.

>But I also believe that any government must keep secrets on occasion.

I'm not so sure. It's exactly this secret keeping that emboldens governments to violate international law, commit acts of war and so on in secret. If it had to be public knowledge that our government is about to commit an act of war against a country with nukes they might be stopped from doing so.
Whenever this topic comes up, someone chimes in that we "need" Stallman, and it's never sufficiently explained why.

Why not make it $10 on Amazon and $9.50 on all the other services. That way, people who are indifferent will go for the service that nets you the highest margin while people who prefer kindle won't care that much about the price differential.

Personally, I'm pretty much indifferent to iBooks vs Kindle since both are just apps on my iPad. If they're both $10, I choose Kindle simply because it's a bigger brand name. If there's even a tiny price differential, I'll choose the iBooks.

TLDR: completely content-less post just tells us how unknown Referly is positioning itself as Bit.ly's competition and how they're better than the rest of the crowd, with quips. No insights other than that.

Call-out to my homeys in the downvote brigade, you still know I'm right. Sensationalist story leading to an underwhelming climax of "we're catching up to Bit.ly" written and submitted to gain publicity, at the cost of the quality of HN's new front page. What's the return on the investment of 5 minutes of my time? None.

The total innovative content of this story could've been fit in two tweets:

Our (Referly) competitor Bit.ly has launched, we're nearly done catching up

and

no, actually I can't think of a second tweet.

This sensationalist, blog-us-at-all-cost attitude glued together with khangtoh's remark (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4097202) about the bait and switch business model... well, compare khangtoh's complaint:

> It's telling me a different story (compared to on their main page - Earn rewards like whoa.)about getting the rewards.
>
> "During the beta period we are not yet able to redeem your rewards, but we are saving them for you.
>
> We'll let you know as soon as you can claim them."
>
> I really felt like being Bait and Switch'ed.... Totally not whoa at this point.

with:

> Unlike a lot of other beautiful social sharing sites out there, we are revealling our business model from day one. You refer stuff, you earn rewards. No shenanigans (Hat tip: Twilio). While in beta we are passing through 100% of commissions to Referly users

Not only completely incorrect information ("we are passing" vs "we are not passing"), but additionally what I can only understand as a quip at Twilio.

Someone more to the point would just say "attention-whoring Bit.ly's limelight". You'll probably hate me, but I thought I'd give you a good ruffling since you seem new to the whole business communications thing. I only hit you cause I love you, baby.

It's not 129,000% markup. You're paying for outgoing bandwidth (at S3 prices) and you're paying for the Kindle's incoming bandwidth, which could be over an internationally-roaming 3G network. Yes, it's dumb that Amazon charges authors and not themselves, but would you prefer they take 40% instead of a fixed $2?
esr has long become open source's Colonel Kurz. Being stuck somewhere in his own little piece of the cyber jungle, together with those who adhere to his peculiar view of life.

Some might know him from his work "the Cathedral and the Bazaar", or know him as contributor to "Battle for Wesnoth".
And some might even know him for his contributions to GNU (yes, really! open up the documentation to various utilities some time, and his name will be there).
The problem with esr is however, his fanaticism. Where rms speaks of software, he speaks of software and its impact on society only. Whether this is done in the most effective way is open to debate. To expound on the rest of his personal political ideas, he uses his homepage.
In general he makes a clear distinction between his general political stance (which everyone has one), and his ideas on software (where he can speak authoritatively).

esr's views are "all in". You are either part of "the tribe" and accept him as your "silverback gorilla" alpha-male, or you're wrong. He's been using his notoriety as a hacker to create visibility for his ideas on other aspects of life, creating, imo, a position of false authority for himself.

You can agree or disagree with rms. But irrespective of the way he presents his ideas on software, they stand on their own, they stand up to scrutiny, and can be defended by and discussed in terms of logical arguments; meaning you are free to agree or disagree with the body of ideas behind free sofware and radically differ (from rms) in any other aspect
of life.

Pitting esr's and rms's ideas on free sofware as "two sides of the same coin", needs a coin in a very non-euclidian universe.

In short. esr's influence on opensource dwindled over the years, alienating readers because of tying in his views on software with his strong political beliefs. rms's influence on free software has remained strong, not because of his persona (some might say, "in spite" of), but because they are sound and selfcontaining, and don't require people to "buy into" ideas on other aspects of life that are not strictly software related.
Am really surprised (and pleased) to see web audio API on the list. But a part of me wonders if it is true. It hasn't yet come to ship in Safari on the desktop and is only available via nightlies afaik.
No-one will use FB auth until they can be confident that whatever site isn't going to spew crap all over their wall. There is some truly obnoxious behavior around. Take The Graun, a newspaper in the UK. If you follow a link from FB to their site, they will direct you to login with FB. Then when you do, every time you read a story, they will post that you did on your timeline. Who on Earth would want that?
That is certainly where their money is, however they built a lot of their existing consumer business on the goodwill from people who were loyal Apple computer users. All of the original iPod users that I knew where loyal Mac computer users (partly because the software didn't run on anything else at the time).

I wonder what would happen if they decided to abandon their Laptop/Desktop business and go purely for consumer electronics? This would certainly piss off many of their loyal fans such as graphic designers/musicians who aren't exactly going to be looking to go back to Windows based PCs for their work and could damage their brand.

Perhaps they will launch some sort of "Post PC" device intended for serious work, for that I am thinking something along the lines of the chromebox.
That's lucky.. I've been feeling pretty tired and grouchy.

This is not remotely clear. Do you really think Apple wants the App store to dry up because they are the only people left who can develop for it? The Apps make the app store and they know this.

Here in New Zealand we have The Consumer Guarantees Act. The beauty of it is that the item is covered for as long as a reasonable person would expect (or something like that), and is suitably vague about how long this.

I'm not sure about jeans, I think they are quite practical as they are comfortable , warm , durable and provide basic protection if your leg touches something sharp etc.

One thing larger Apple computers have provided them is exposure, it's difficult to walk into a primarily Mac office and not notice the giant Apple logo staring at you from everywhere. I guess it also helps that people are able to use Apple products for basically everything, as somebody who has a MPB , an iMac as well as an iPad etc is good marketing to other people who may just be interested in buying an iPhone or whatever.

It's also very rare to see a computer used in a movie or TV show now that isn't a Macbook.

Then be very careful you never accidentally do that when on international roaming (which 3G Kindles do have). You could easily end up being charged $250. And no, that is not an exaggeration (there have been much worse cases).

I suppose it's worth bearing in mind that the app will presumably continue to generate money for a long time to come for little to no work, whereas you will always have to do a day's work to get a day's consulting pay.

Where did I say that Apple clones where bad? All I said was that the model was not allowed to evolve and gave, as an example, the crap-to-good evolution of PC's.

There is nothing wrong with floppy disks, VGA ports and CD-ROMs. These and other technologies still have a place in the right context and they tend to die off in an organic manner as industry can justify transitions.

Progress? A quick Google search finds estimates that say that there will be about two billion PC's world-wide by 2015. That's progress, not coming up with a new port that nobody really cares for outside markets that can afford expensive new hardware on a regular diet. I think you are confusing progress with innovation. Testing new ideas is commendable. Apple has always been on the forefront of that in some ways.

Progress is a different story altogether. One measure, as I am suggesting above, might be just how accessible a technology is to the masses (not just wealthy countries). World-wide Macs only represent 5 to 10% of the installed base. By this measure Apple has failed to deliver progress.

If you look at smart phones, then, yes, Apple hit it out of the park.
